if she is removed from life support and starts breathing on her own, I guess they will starve her to death?

She can't start breathing on her own..her body is in the throws of rigamortus. Has been dead since November 28th. That fact has not been disputed from the start of this. The issue has been Texas Law regarding if or not that law applied to a corpse and if or not was misapplied to this case.

Even ‘those who wrote the law’ stated in court hearings that the law was not addressing a baby in cadaver...that it was not appropriate for this case but for a 'live' pregnant woman. Additionally many legal and medical professionals piped in on this case saying that the law was misapplied.

In my opinion the child and mother should have been allowed to go with God once the mother was determined brain and stem dead, for a 14 month fetus cannot live if delivered then.

All in all it's a very sad case and I wish had never gone so far as it has. Very sad in every way for all concerned.

Probably. The state is going to kill because they can. This is somehow a part of how we ought to see little-barry-bastard-boy care unfolding. The state will have total right over who lives and who dies, and who can or cannot try to save someone. Apparently we have a lot of jeb bushesque posters at FR now. The state will kill because it can.
