Infanticide is Alive and Well in America

Without taking away from the battle for Terry Schiavo's life, FreeRepublic has a story on a woman who wants to take her baby home. However, the doctors at the Texas Children's Hospital have succeeded in obtaining court approval to remove a 6 month old child from a ventilator. This ruling goes against the mother's wishes.

The Gronigen Protocol out of the Netherlands at least recognizes that "the parent's preferences must be followed." In America, it is up to the doctors and the judges; not those most closely involved.
