Even though we are correct that dehydration of useless eaters is on the rise.....
We've seen that 'court review' is often a misnomer, and more often than not a crossing of legal t's and dotting of bureaucratic i's than a consideration of meaningful fact.
If the State had been better at review, she wouldn't have remained to BE beaten.
Letting her die permits her attacker to be tried for murder. I say try the State workers for murder. They failed her.
I believe Michelle Malkin was asking where all the people that wanted to keep Tookie Williams alive were at.
Although not quite reaching the heights of death threats, here on FR the roar alone was enough to treat each Shiavo thread as untouchable. Even a mere wisp of disagreement initiated an avalanche of verbal retribution the likes of which I had never seen on FR before or after.
Incorrect. To those who do not know (except perhaps from reading it in this article), Michelle Malkin has been covering this extensively. From one of her pieces here: Save Haleigh
As state officials prepared to remove Haleigh's life support, the supposedly impossible happened. She began breathing on her own, responding to stimuli, and showing signs of emerging from what the medical establishment had deemed her hopeless condition. Everyone had given up on Haleigh except Haleigh. ''There has been a change in her condition," announced a DSS spokeswoman, Denise Monteiro. ''The vegetative state may not be a total vegetative state."
Unbelievably, the state had weaned Haleigh off her breathing tube before the state supreme court had made its ruling but the government failed to inform the court of the development. Haleigh's medical records and the social service agency's brief remain sealed.
As well it should have. Killing innocent people is wrong, whether pretty young girls or handicapped women. Or men.
Please FReepmail me if you would like to be added to, or removed from, the Pro-Life/Pro-Baby ping list...
Try them in the federal system and give 'em 15 to 25.
EXCERPT:
Haleigh Poutre was discharged Thursday from Baystate Medical Center in Springfield and admitted to the Franciscan Hospital for Children. She has been hospitalized since September, when authorities say she was beaten into a coma.
A statement issued by the Franciscan Hospital said: "It is our hope that her stay at Franciscan will afford her the opportunity to maximize her potential for gains in her recovery."
The hospital advertises itself as the largest pediatric rehabilitation facility in New England.

This just sickens me. Why must we go through this over and over? If the Culture of Death is so eager to end life, there are thousands of monsters on death row all over the country, they are guilty, end their lives, not the lives of the innocent.
My Senior Drill Instructor at Parris Island said the same thing as he taugh us to twist our bayonents between the 3 & 4 rib to break them. That's a harsh reality that doesn't equate to an argument or even a discussion. But it also has nothing to do with what technic you use to fight bad laws in the name of humanity.
The author is an idiot. She should reserve her ire for the MASS DSS who tried ti have life support removed from the little girl after just three weeks. Or the Judge that oredered it. Or perhaps the left wing lunatic Mass politicians who made it all possible.
Message sent, thanks for the link!
In context, that is a lie. The facts -- determined by one man alone -- were never reviewed. Yet they were contested, and remain so. The US Congress even passed an Act asking that the facts be reviewed and/or reheard by others.
