Texas and the Critically Ill

We all know of the case of Terry Schiavo, who dubs flew cross country to try to reverse the decision of many judges in her life or death case.

The sad irony is, that Texas has a law that will pull the plug on anyone who is terminally ill, and can't afford to pay the bill, even if the family/guardian is against it. It just happened this week, to an infant that was born with a fatal form of dwarfism. After 6 months on a respirator, the baby was removed from it, and died against the infants mother's wishes.

Republican compassion: fly across country in a controvercial case, and be against abortion. In the case of a mother and her child, leave the law in place that kills the 6 month old. Let the mother watch her child die in her arms, against her wishes.

Can't kill em in the womb, but if they can't flip the bill, kill them at 6 months of age. Where's that moral high ground at now?
