Court rules 11 year old can be removed from life support
Pray tell where are frist and delay and bush and all the life loving christians? I guess they don't value the lives of people who live in Massachusetts.

I guess there is no political gain for conservatives to protect the brain dead life of a young girl brutally beaten by her stepfather. I guess christian conservatives only concern themselves with political consequences. Thanks for the extra ammo, you constitution hating bastards.

2. I'm torn over this
It's a government agency that wants to pull the plug, and an abusive stepfather who wants her to live so his assualt charges aren't changed to murder.

This poor girl has nothing going for her. If the doctors say she'll be like this forever (and they are), then I am likely to agree that they should pull the plug. I just wish someone who cared about her made such a decision.

Unfortunately, it seems like nobody cared about this little girl. A really sad story.

5. I agree
that she should be allowed to die and end her misery. But, "christians" in this country do not rationalize that way. Per their "beliefs" she should be kept alive for years and years and years, at god knows how much expense and to whom. Stepfather is scum, most likely a "conservative. And, if the "christians" step in and attempt to keep her alive they certainly wouldn't be caring about her.

4. That is a horrific story.
The only reason Strickland wants that baby kept alive is so he can avoid a murder charge. What a complete POS.

7. My thoughts exactly.
Perhaps we should contact them for the grief stricken step dad?

I am personally and vehemently opposed to the death penalty, but a 'man' who does this to a child.....:grr:
