I'll add to something I said somewhere upthread. I believe that in these kinds of situations there are very few coincidences. I don't think it's just happenstance that she's in a coma that may not end for decades. All of this may, in fact, be Divine Judgement for what she did. If it is, and obviously I believe it is, everything I've said thus far is very Chistian indeed.

I don't disagree that the idea that someone can 'pull the plug' is a dangerous one, and needs to be fought. However, this is not the case to use as a 'poster child'.
Pro-Life groups ARE NOT trying to make Lauren a "poster child" or even make a statement, they are trying to save an innocent woman's life.

The problem is that your statements throughout this thread have been totally contradictory.
Here you say that it's a dangerous idea to "pull the plug" (though there is no "plug" to pull, Lauren needs food and water just like the rest of us). However, you also believe that this is some sort of Divine retribution, while earlier you advocated purposely starving her as punishment for what COULD have happened to her baby (but didn't). What is this other than YOU wanting to play god?
Here is your post (with added emphasis):

However, we do know what lead to this, and along the way she put her baby at extreme risk. If that action alone doesn’t deserve death, please tell me what will deserve the death penalty. In the process of nearly killing her baby, she slipped into this coma. Many people would prefer to see her starve to death for her actions against the baby alone. Include me in that group. They need a different case to advance what is otherwise a noble cause. This case, defending a would-be killer, just sullies and discredits everyone involved.

You claim not to have the same agenda as the culture of death, but that is becoming impossible to believe.
Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. (James 3:10)
