And, of course, once it is "born" the republicunt jesus freaks won't want to know about it.

The atheist experience did a good number on this one when a caller said that what they were doing to the woman was right. Its worth a watch.

I listened to that episode last week on podcast, brilliant episode.

Now in the hands of a judge.

Of course....it's a Texas judge....

Look as a blind person with hydrocephalus the disabilities of the fetus and quality of life of the fetus are not what is in question. I am living proof that disability is no impediment to life. This is about a woman's right to die with dignity! We r not chattel or incubators!

So far the judge seems to be on board.

A judge on Friday ordered a Texas hospital to remove life support for a pregnant, brain-dead woman whose family had argued that she would not want to be kept in that condition.

Now we'll see if the hospital...or some jesus freak busybody...intervenes to appeal.

And it is over.

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — The family of a brain-dead, pregnant Texas woman said Sunday afternoon that she has been removed from life support following a judge's ruling that a Fort Worth hospital was misapplying state law in the case.

Apparently this was not the test case that the republicunts wanted.

But what else would one expect in fucking Texas?

All four Republican candidates for Texas lieutenant governor agreed that state law should prevent families from removing brain dead women and their badly deformed fetuses from life support.

And to top it all off, they have to go for the extra point in the stupid bowl.

Patrick and Dewhurst emphasized that they’re Christians who believe in the Bible-based story of creation.

“When it comes to creationism, not only should it be taught, it should be triumphed (and) it should be heralded,” Patrick said.

Someday, Texans, maybe you'll grow up? I don't expect to live to see it.
