Just when you think you can’t get any more repulsed by the Left....

“...doctors performed a hysterectomy on a severely developmentally disabled girl whose parents have pursued medical treatments to stunt her growth, making her easier to care for.”

It’s all about convenience. Same with abortion and Terry Schivo’s husband who had already abandoned the marriage and was living with another woman...

The hospital's ethics committee supported the treatment, which included hormone therapy, but noted before the surgeries that court review would be required.

A lawyer for the girl's parents disagreed, saying the state law did not apply in Ashley's case, and the hospital performed the procedures without court permission.

IMHO if anyone should be punished for this, it should be the parents lawyer. Not that that will happen, in almost every case lawyers stick together.

6 years old!!! OMG I was expecting the article to say she was 14 or 15 and they were afraid of molestation and pregnancies; soliciting maybe a tad bit of sympathy, but 6 years old! Who gives a 6 year old a hysterectomy! That is insane and criminal.

We take full responsibility for the miscommunication between the ethics committee and the treating physicians,

"miscommunication"? Jeeez, what a steaming pantload. Everyone knew what everyone was doing here.

Easier to seek forgiveness after than to ask permission before.
