Baby Daniel's Fight update...

LifeNews has now picked up on the story of Baby Daniel. News has been sketchy but maybe the whole story will emerge.

......................

Dallas, TX (LifeNews.com) -- A Texas mother and her baby are the latest victims in an ongoing battle against a Texas law that allows medical facilities to tell the family of a patient that they have 10 days to find another medical center willing to treat the patient because their doctors think the case is hopeless.

That's what happened to two other families that were the focus of LifeNews.com reports and it's now happened to Dixie Belcher.

Doctors at Children's Medical Center Dallas say Belcher's son Daniel's case is "futile."

Daniel is nearly brain dead, can't breathe without a ventilator and can't eat without a feeding tube. The center's ethics board has ruled that continuing to care for Daniel is inappropriate and they're ready to take his life by removing him from life support.

But, Belcher tells the Dallas Morning News that she's not ready to give up on her 10-month old son.


"Something deep down inside is telling me not to unplug my [baby]," Belcher said. "I know it's going to take him quite a while to pull out of this, but I know he's my little fighter, and he's got to pull through. He's got to pull through."

Doctors say Daniel is showing no response to external stimuli but Belcher said she's asked her son to open his eyes and he opens them as wide as he can.

Belcher said the decision to take Daniel's life doesn't set well with her because she's been in the same situation before.

Despite Dan Brown's disclaimers, his book and the movie version are attacks on Christianity. Liberalism's hopes for survival necessitate such unprovoked aggression.

Liberal intellectuals know that the survival of Christian truth is life-threatening to liberalism. Poland's Catholic-inspired revolt against Moscow is an ever-present reminder. In the United States, even with monopoly control of elementary and high schools, and our colleges, liberal-socialism ultimately cannot withstand rational scrutiny, because universal experience proves it to be ineffectual and corrosive nonsense.

Only by fabricating history and continuing to suppress teaching of American constitutional traditions can liberals hope to avoid joining the Soviet Union in history's dustbin.

This explains the crude attack in the May 23, 2006 post on The Daily Kos, one of the most popular liberal websites:

The circle around Judge Greer is being broken. Counsel for the Judicial Qualifications Commission died unexpectedly of a heart attack this weekend.

No doubt this Tampa attorney was covering for Judge Greer for many, many, years. He was called "Mr. Ethics", only a bioethicist could luv.

BREAKING NEWS DR. RON CRANFORD DEAD.

http://www.wesleyjsmith.com/blog/2006/05/ron-cranford-has-died.html

(pls ping your list - 2nd person from death lobby reported today). He was just hanging out with Michael Schiavo on those "Why It's so Hard to Die in America" tours.

Guess now Cranford knows it's not so hard to die.

Harsh, but they murdered Terri one year ago with phony evidence and then prostituted themselves on the speaking circuit.
