The family made the decision to stop supporting the mothers body after doctors diagnosed the child with severe deformities, brain damage and would not survive any type of birth. The child was severely damaged when the mother had her stroke. My suggestion is that some here on FR help the family pay for the medical bills which must be outstanding instead of calling the family murderers.
Didn’t the father call his wife a decaying corpse?
Great family. She is better off without them.
Perfect summary of the situation, but as you know, so many posters on these kinds of threads seem to have no concern about such things. They know what's morally right and damn it, don't bother us with such details!
BTW, would you hazard a guess as to how many would pony up for such a fund? I am guessing, very, very few.
While my inclination is to agree with you, based on the reports of the medical professionals involved in this particular case, many of us have seen a whole lot of reports of medical necessity that were far less convincing in the real world than in the reports. I think the underlying problem is a complete breakdown of trust between those generally sympathetic to abortion (a group of which I am not a member) and those generally opposed to abortion.
If abortion beyond a certain point in gestation is only okay in cases of rape or for the life or health of the mother, then many abortionists tell their customers to claim rape or to give coached answers to justify a threat to their mental health. Because of that conduct, there is no longer a presumption of integrity from doctors in these situations. I know you are correct about the reported condition of the baby, and I suspect those reports are true, but I would not be shocked if it turned out that the husband simply didn't want the child and the doctors gave a prognosis that would justify the husband's request.
The father wanted the child dead from day one. We do not actually know if the child had any deformities--that could have been an excuse invented for the purpose of getting the judge to circumvent law, or even to deflect negative public opinion.
It is tragic. The baby only needed another week or so of gestation.
Miffed and I have found what you are about to find out... Some on this forum never let the facts get in the way of their opinion
