Pro-life advocates are launching an e-mail campaign in an attempt to save the life of a young woman injured by a drug overdose who now is facing the possibility of a court-ordered death by dehydration and starvation.
"She's committed no crime and doesn't deserve to have this death imposed on her," he told the Wilmington, Del., News Journal earlier, citing the case that carries striking parallels to the 2005 death of Terri Schiavo in Florida.
The woman was injured by a drug overdose in 2006 and never has recovered fully from the brain damage she suffered, he said. Court records reveal she was pregnant at the time and was kept on feeding tubes and a breathing machine in Christiana Hospital until her baby girl was born in February 2007.
But she no longer needs a breathing machine and earlier this year a court order was issued – and appealed – that could allow the removal of her feeding tube, and her resulting death, the newspaper reported.

Ping!—in case you haven’t already caught this one.
Thanks, floriduh voter
One email is the entire project... If Governor Minner’s email box gets full, please advise this thread poster, wagglebee for further direction.
Is an e-mail campaign likely to work? Are there any First Staters out there?
The Doctor that prescribed the overdose should be charged with attempted murder.
An email campaign is one component and have you been to world net daily to see the article? The youtube link is there too. I’m no expert on Delaware. Please direct inquiries about First Staters to 8mmmauser or wagglebee.
“The Doctor that prescribed the overdose should be charged with attempted murder.”
Ah...the “drug” was heroine.
She did it to herself. So she should be charged with attempted murder?
Hank
If she was pregnant and shooting smack, yes she should be charged with attempted murder.
Lord, protect Lauren and her father. Cause YOUR LIGHT and TRUTH to be seen and heard. Father God, do not allow for any human to take Lauren’s life from her. IN Jesus name, Amen!

Lauren Richardson is a tragic case. The father, Randy, wants to care for the daughter that he loves. However, the courts so far will not let him and have said No.
Instead the courts are moving towards to premise of allowing Lauren’s mother to remove the feeding tube and have Lauren slowly starved and dehydrated to death over a period of almost 2 weeks.
It should be noted that Lauren is not PVS. Doctors who have examined Lauren have said such.
Lauren has a good chance of being weaned off her feeding tube but the mother is nevertheless is pursuing her death.
Lauren has received no therapy in over 13 months under expressed orders of the Mother and the backing of the court (Both Randy and the mother have to agree or there is no therapy). The only therapy Lauren has received has been what little her family can give her on their own time.
WHAT CAN YOU DO?
1. Contact Randy Richardson and offer your support. He can be contacted at the following email address lifeforlauren@aol.com.
2. Contact the governor of Delaware, Ruth Ann Minner and respectively ask that she intervene to protect the life of Lauren Richardson. Her email is governor.minner@state.de.us. A lot of people have been trying to contact her but she refuses to intervene. Nevertheless, the pressure is on the governor. Please foward your letters to governor to Randy as well: lifeforlauren@aol.com. Randy has already received numerous letters to the governor. It hoped that these letters may reach the governor and she will take an interest in the case.
3. Randy needs help from disability groups but has come up a bit short. Randy is counting on amicis briefs from Disability groups to help save the life of the daughter that he loves, Lauren Richardson. If you are affiliated with disability groups, please make them aware of the situation. Few disability groups have agreed ot help Randy. Please email or contact disability groups and tell them to intervene.
4. Randy has recently requested helpful donations for the medical testing and care for Lauren Richardson. Any donations would be a big help.
5. Finally, and most importantly, the story needs to get out. Randy has be sanctioned by the courts from actually talking about the case to the media. However, news of Lauren Richardson is slowly becoming known.
Please pray for Lauren Richardson.

Most Importantly, the sotry has to get out. Spread Lauren Richardson’s situation far and wide. The father, Randy has been sanctioned by the court and facing an uphill battle of getting the media involved.
Everyone needs to email the governor. Thousands of people.
Everyone needs to contact disability groups. Thousands of people.
For people who take time, power is in numbers.
Thanks for all of your support and reposting the necessary information to contact the governor. A lot of us here have been following Lauren’s case since the news first came out. We are prepared to do anything we can to save her life.
