Is it an actionable item?

The Texas Right to Life spokesperson in the video is the same one on their website.

The hospital obviously states he’s made no improvement. They want him dead and gone. They’ve been saying he’ll never live — that’s the point of the story. This is a decision the family needs to make, not a doctor.

The article says they wanted his organs before he improved and started to breathe on his own.

Big-Country-12-year-old-who-was-shot-in-head-making-progress:

A family member of Zachary Fernandez, a 12-year-old who was shot in the head earlier this month, said he is making progress.
well-wishers-pack-anson-stadium-to-pray-for-boy:
Three days after a shooting in a west Abilene neighborhood that wounded two children, 12-year-old Zach Fernandez is showing signs of improvement at Cook's Children's Medical Center in Fort Worth, while his brother, Angelo Fernadez, 8, remains in Child Protective Services custody, according to family members.
... Tommie Nix, Zach's great-grandmother, said she visited her grandson on Wednesday, and said doctors have told her family that they think Zach will "pull through."
OK, maybe the great-grandmother was lying. But she SAYS that the doctors told her they think Zach will "pull through". That's a lot different from this article's claim that the doctors never had hope and told them to pull the plug.

The article says they wanted his organs before he improved and started to breathe on his own.

The article says the PARENTS SAID the hospital wanted his organs. THe great-grandmother said the doctors had hope and thought he would pull through. Those statements seem to be contradictory.
