First the woman's parents chose to continue her life although she is "vegetative. Second they chose to allow the pregnancy to continue even though she was raped and unaware of her condition. The woman's parents are caring for the child who was born healthy but premature. AFAIK, the woman is still in a coma. The rapist remains in jail.
He got his lines right but the other actors (Felos and Greer) were missing from the stage.
They are occupied in another play where they get to kill an innocent woman.
After all, according to the appeals court, the 8th Amendment only applies to punishment ordered by the court for an offense against the state.
If the prisoner is not fed by the warden, that's not a problem under the 8th Amendment, as long as it is not sanctioned by the court as punishment for an offense against the state. Let the court label it "euphoria treatment" or "benign neglect" and according to the appeals court, it isn't an 8th Amendment issue.
This is a shame! I would like John Horace to have a chance at a normal life. Let's give him 50,000 volts and see if that does the trick.
"I thought that by doing this, if she came out of the coma ... she would have a normal life again," Horace said"
Sounds like a line from Dumb, Dumber and Dumbest.
Kathy had been in a chronic vegetative state since a car accident in 1985 when she was 19. Her pregnancy was discovered in late 1995, and she gave birth prematurely to a son in March 1996. She died a year later, never having regained consciousness.
"AFAIK, the woman is still in a coma."
That's simply ...Ludicrous.
/sarcasm
Read the copy again Lud., ... sadly the bottom line says "She died a year later, never having regained consciousness."
This family consistently made the right decisions through the loss of a child to comma and death while preventing another death by abortion. IMHO.
As for the perp... gitta rope.
What a sick f**k
LIBERTARIANS: "The parents let the rape-child be born? Did the taxpayers have to foot the bill? How are we ever going to be fiscally responsible if we set up a socialist state!"
What a load of BS. Challenge him to produce that book.
I wonder how her parents deal with the fact that they are outraged at the rape, yet probably are happy that their daughter lives on in a strange way in her son, who I am sure they love and cherish.
Weird.
