Where is the outrage?
Where is the outrage from the hard right?

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060616/ap_on_re_us/life_support_battle

A woman at odds with a hospital over whether it would be futile to continue life support for her 11-month-old son has been given two weeks to find a facility willing to take the baby.

(snip)

Under a Texas law signed by then-Gov. George W. Bush in 1999, hospitals don't have to continue life support more than 10 days after their ethics board decides lifesaving measures are pointless. Families, however, have the right to look for a facility that will continue treatment.
