[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I think the crux is that it's the family's decision.  As stated, they never got to decide. That's what the pp are suggesting is wrong.  All you crazies who suggest people taking issue with the decision to keep baby are idiots.   Nobody is saying they aren't pulling for the kid, it's the moral and legal line this case crossed when the govt decided there was no option but to keep the pregnancy going no matter what![/quote]

No the family’s decision is only part of the story. Prior to the punitive new anti-abortion laws, it would be an absolute aberration for a hospital to keep a woman with a 1st trimester fetus on life support. And no medical ethics would require it - Catholic medical ethicists have spent a lot of time thinking over when heroic interventions are required and when it is moral to let nature take its course. they would never advise that the moral choice is to put the dead mother on life support. This woman is hardly the first woman to suffer braindeath while in the first trimester. The ONLY reason she was kept alive was the anti-abortion laws where the fetus trumps everything, even the dignified and natural death of the mother. [/quote]
