The Italian courts have decided that Eluana will be executed regardless of anything else.

MILAN, Italy, Jan. 26 (UPI) -- An Italian court says the government of Lombardy must provide a clinic and healthcare workers for a woman trapped in a vegetative state to end her life.
The government had refused to designate a clinic for 38-year-old Eluana Englaro, even after her father won a landmark right-to-die supreme court ruling in November. Monday's regional court decision in Milan said Lombardy "will have to indicate a health clinic" suitable to allow Englaro to die and provide healthcare workers to remove her feeding tubes, ANSA, the Italian news agency, reported.
Englaro's father, Beppino Englaro, told reporters he was "satisfied" with the regional court's decision. He had been waging a battle to find a clinic prepared to carry out the controversial ruling, which has been denounced by Catholic politicians and the Vatican.

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- President Barack Obama has come under fire for pro-abortion nominations for various positions and now he is drawing heat for nominating a pro-abortion Deputy Attorney General. His nominee David Ogden, is drawing criticism for authoring a Supreme Court brief dismissing negative effects from an abortion.
During the campaign, Obama came under heavy criticism for a comment saying he did not want his daughters punished with a pregnancy -- intimating that abortion would be the preferred course of action.
Now, Obama has appointed a top Justice Department official who appears to feel the same way.
Thanks for the ping!
