It is not "single-payer communist care" in this case.

It is the idea that parents should not be allowed to seek a different opinion or a different medical treatment without the consent of the current medical doctors.

It has nothing to do with who is paying for it. And it happens in the US. Boston Children Hospital is notorious for this.

A far cry from the last President who would approve of Planned Parenthood "parting out" the child.

Simply a prelude to forced abortion "for the children".

What I want to know is what the hell right does a court have to tell parents, who have raised the funds, that they cannot take their child to whatever country they want for treatment for that child — regardless of whether it is experimental or not. That is insanity.

I would love for that to happen.

Everything the lefts Messiah, Obama did, was on OUR dime.

Sending TF1 would be a signal that he himself is covering this.

Ben Carson could talk to Johns Hopkins or Mayo or St Judes or whoever, to do whatever needs to be done, at cost, in an act of good will.

It would cost The Donald about $90k in fuel.

It would be great if Melania (and Barron) was on board to receive them on the plane.

“Finally, I can agree with the Pope.”

Like co-conspirators and collaborators George W. “Aw gee, Biff” McFly Bush, Jeb! and Mike Schiavo, popie can also say he “did his best” to save the life.

Specialists at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) in London, where terminally-ill Charlie is being cared for, said therapy proposed by a US doctor was experimental and wouldn’t help.

If he's been judged terminal, what can it hurt?

The only thing important to Francis is his leftist politics and his interference in Latin American politics...this Pope stuff is incidental. But of course, he wants to impose his leftist dream worldwide, now that he’s been empowered. Pray that he can be stopped.

What can it hurt? If the US medical system can prove GOSH wrong, GOSH and the british authorities will be in a world of hurt.

The Pope made two statements, and the second one (after unspecified pressure from “conservatives”) wasn’t great but it was better.

Trump, on the other hand, did this on his own.

“Did people miss the “until the end” part?”

Definitely didn’t miss that. Sounds like he’s on board with letting the baby die.

What the Pope said was meant to be taken either way. It was not a firm stance for preservation of life.

Yes, another display of empathy and compassion from President Trump. Which completely rules out the armchair diagnosis of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. When are all of the psychiatrists screaming for Trump’s head going to acknowledge this development? If they need a refresher on narcissism, they need look no further than our President’s predecessor.

I haven’t been following this story but it sounds like more government inserting itself where it doesn’t belong with grave consequences for innocents.

God Bless little Charlie, and God Bless President Trump!

Of course it’s not “grandstanding”, but you can bet someone on the left will say it is...

Donald Trump has always been very compassionate toward kids...Take a look at this:

as a Christian I believe it is ONLY up to God when we leave this Earth. God Bless President Trump for offering his help to this beautiful child.
