Oh look, suddenly the "get the government out of my life or we'll secede" crowd is nowhere to be seen

where are the "compassionate " conservatives ? Nowhere , only Party Apparatchiks left , lockstep Repukelicons .

I fear too many on the right love the fetus, will protect it above all else....but after it's born they show no concern.

It is sad.

I hope some good lawyer will step up and sue the crap out of the State of Texas. Maybe some good can come out of this situation. This poor family.

All of them.

Even money the "pro-life" groups will quite rapidly end up saying let the mother and baby die in peace.

in this case it should happen. The family should not have to foot the bill.

These Republican politicians who support laws such as this, really only care about how easy it is to exploit our biological desire to protect our young. They've exploited religious beliefs and twisted laws like pretzels to turn these fetuses, and the women's wombs they reside in, into political footballs. They've managed to disconnect their followers from having the same response once the child becomes verbal by laying the blame on the child's lazy parents for needing social services in the first place. After all, those lazy parents are just having those children to exploit the system and get more money from the government!

Obviously they were right in thinking it would work to create a political wedge. It's been an ace in their pocket now for forty years.

Why don't they know? Can't the doctors determine the state of the fetus?

Later on they will do more tests.

aren't really the least bit compassionate,they are motivated by their desire for control.

Her poor family.

Anyone happen to have a list of those 12 states? I'm having a hard time of tracking them down.

Pregnancy negates the wishes of those who do not wish to be kept alive by artificial means here, invalidating the will of the person who would like to be allowed to pass on without support.

stick them where the sun don't shine!

Or test tubes. Handmaid's Tale, anyone?

NOBODY.

This is immoral and frankly macabre and sickening.

Yes, were ARE the "small government" damn conservatives?

Talk about your DEATH PANELS. There you go. Republicans railed against death panels. Now they ARE the death panels. Bastards. They have effectively sentenced this poor family to Hell.

It is immoral.
