Well, here is my own experience. Our beautiful grown niece was also on heroin. We disapproved her behavior but did not condemn her to death. She did overdose and die. Now what if she had gone into a condition similar to Laura, what would we have done? It is no issue, we would have done all we could to give her a chance. We are conservative, pro-life, and have faith in God just like our founder in FreeRepublic. We cannot make those judgments you find so facile.
It is fairly clear if you have faith like we do. We are taught by our religion about Faith, Hope and Charity. (Modernists changed the latter to "Love".) Charity is love of God. Now, if we were faced with a judgment, we would have to leave that to God because of Charity. And that means we would fight to keep her alive and not see her murdered in a way unfit for the lowliest of creatures, even if she were a hopeless self-destructive addict. We would care similarly for those we disliked, those who would do us harm, because of our love for God, if not for the perps.
You have offered up straw men, "What about the cost, who would pay?" I guess you figure if pro-life people were in that situation, it would be an important issue, so you may not understand what makes us tick. Judge not, Mr. Judge.
We were in that situation for twenty six years with a child much worse off than Lauren is now, and it was beyond even a consideration. Liberals come up with those arguments. We don't.
Do you believe in Charity? Are you pro-life?

I’m sorry for your loss.
There is a world of difference between what happened to your niece and what this woman did.
This woman deliberately gave her unborn baby heroin, in a dose so strong it nearly killed the mother.
I’m so sorry to hear of the loss of your niece. I hope you will accept my sincere condolences.
