Remove the component of religion. It’s a human life.

“Maybe the Munoz baby could not have survived to be born.”

It would have killed that guy to wait a few weeks to wait and see? Seriously? It’s not like pregnancy is forever. Yes ladies I know it feels that way.

Are you not presuming to tell the parents how to make a choice which was given by God to them?

Indeed, a case could be made you are attempting to second guess/influence the very will of God, assuming you believe God to have made a decision as to the health of the mother.

Is second guessing part of Christianity?

If so, may I ask for Biblical references, either Testrament would do.

Thanks.

He wanted the baby dead no matter what- Would his wife had said “Kill my baby?” . Not sure. I wonder if the “tests” actually were done too, or was that all lying BS? Guess we’ll never know. Sad.

If you're unconscious anyway, I assume it doesn't feel like anything. There is only the objective question, can the baby live, or not.

We don't know, because you can't believe anyone. Not the medical personnel, not the father, not the other family. We just can't know whether the baby could have lived.

We will never know the truth..but I was surprised to hear him say that even if the baby had been shown to be completely normal, he would still have pulled the plug because the wife said repeatedly that she did not want to be kept alive on machines. The woman’s mother was also on the show, she referred to the baby as a “fetus” its a BABY!!!

If the child is the responsibility and the property of the parent, as Roman, Jewish and Christian Law held, it would seem the answer would be the parent.

while the child is certainly the responsibility of the parent, he/she is NEVER the property of the parent....can't be bought or sold, can't be mortgaged, can't be neglected, can't and can be a lot of things, but property...not a chance....From the moment of conception, that was a complete human being with his/her own set of rights and the right to life is primary....supercedes all others.

God gave the parents the choice as to whether or not to become pregnant....once they had done so, their choice ended....the CHILD which they had concieved was now an individual with its'own rights....the rights or the parents became EXTREMELY limited and the right to kill the child was not included

Thank you. I was going to say Mrs. Munoz was dead and the baby died with her but the people on these threads lack any understanding of medical realities.

You seem to lack any understanding of medical realities. not only was Mrs. Munoz dead but the baby died with her. Keeping machines going does not mean their is any life there at all

“Yes ladies I know it feels that way.”

Not always, not even much of the time.

This is one of the things that infuriates me most about the Abortion movement, they had to reimagine pregnancy as a disease.

Now, sometime pregnancy can be very difficult, but not always.

Obviously if you are brain dead everything is already s*cking, but if you are healthy pregnancy is just a natural part of life.

This is what boggles my mind about the Left, they are all for nature, nature, nature, but not when it comes to babies!

Parents do not have life death decisions over children. That baby could have lived without any harm to any one.

We do not need Scripture to know that. Just basic human kindness.
