Sickening.
Haven’t you heard, though, it’s NICE.
i am further embarrassed at the country of my youth
When they became employees of the Labour (socialist) Party.
NICE is an acronym for ObamaCare death panels, withholding needed technology and medications.
It’s for the common good, don’cha know?
The doctors don’t make the rules - they would have probably been at risk of losing their jobs for wasting too many resources if they tried to support this baby. Put the blame where it lies, and see the face of what rationed health care will look like when our Marxists have their way. Doctors have been virtually locked out of the current debate.
We must do it for the CHILDREN!
I gave birth to twin girls in 1988 - they were due on September 21st and were born July 7, 2009.
Rebecca, 1 pound 8 oz. at her birth, died four weeks after she was born.
Rebecca, 2 pounds 11 oz. at her birth, is now 21 years old and doing quite well, thank you!
Born at Kaiser Permanente, Oakland, California.
They did all they could to save the girls. You wouldn’t believe the tiny little babies that are in that Intensive Care Unit — Rebecca was not the smallest, by far!
Murder most foul...

We had a "rule" that a baby less than 25 weeks, or less than 450 grams in weight was probably not viable.
And usually those babies that met those two "rules" were stillborn with no signs of life.
I did attend a couple births that the baby cried and we did what we do. We tended to them.....with the best care possible to them.
I personally many years ago had a baby born at 22 weeks....that was stillborn. It happens.....And it still hurts my heart to even think about it.....
FWIW-
No such thing as “death panels,” though. Nuh-uh, no sir. Panels of bureaucrats setting the 22-week rule? Pay no attention.
Barack Obama does not believe in civil rights for ALL human beings. He essentially said that he did not want to bestow “personhood” on an infant born alive following a botched abortion.
Once the child has been delivered “alive” there can be no further argument made about it being “the woman’s choice because it is her body”.
So Barry pretends that the live birth never happened.
This is heartbreaking, I cannot believe it. I hope this is not what Obambi wants to do to us.
Since the words “death panels” doesn’t appear anywhere in the legislation, the leftists deny that they exist.
My FOUR YEAR OLD understands the concept of unlimited demand for goods or services that are perceived as free.
I asked her if she could explain it to 0bama.
(She said she would.)
Nice ‘shop, there.

I'm sorry for your loss. My first son was stillborn at 21 weeks. Although I'm a man, I can understand your pain.
And yet how much more would that pain be if your child was born alive, and then ignored?
Even if he died an hour later after a fight, wouldn't it be better to have fought? To know that all that could be done was done?
