I’m glad speech is not squelched here by Mr. Robinson or the moderator crew (if there is one). Freely expressing ideas at worst shows you the kind of people you’re dealing with, but at best gives you an opportunity to help others understand issues and a lot of opportunities to educate yourself.

I like being able to sharpen what little wits I have by debating intellectually honest adversaries. I find a lot more of those on FR than any lefty site.

Because the time frame was too long and on the outer limit, so the prognosis for the infant was very poor.

I do not believe God expects or requires humans to take such extreme measures.

Pregnancy is a complicated biochemical and hormonal dance that needs a semi-functional brain to be successful. It’s one thing to use life support to get a viable or near viable fetus an extra 2-3 weeks development and quite another to try to incubate a non-viable fetus through the entire 2nd trimester hoping that the gradual breakdown of the the maternal body won’t result in too much damage.

How would you feel about this if the hospital’s real motivation for keeping her on life support was in fact, experimentation by a Dr. that wanted to push the medical envelope?

I have no doubt that they did many, many sonograms of the baby during this time, it seems to me that when it became clear that development was abnormal, the hospital through in the towel in its court filings to get a quick and legal end to it.

The hospital wouldn’t have started this if they weren’t willing to finish it, so if they had a viable fetus or a near viable fetus developing normally with a good prognosis, they’d have fought for it. They didn’t fight... they rolled over, because the experiment failed.

Perhaps I was not clear. The pro-abortion, just a blob of tissue voices would not have been given so much posting room in the not so distant past. We had debates and if someone showed they were not really about pro-life and conservatism, they were allowed to learn that they were not welcome here spewing anti-life bilge. Some got zotted, some left when they learned their support of evil was not welcomed here.

“Needless to say, poster Morgana’s prediction came true about the cremation of the bodies. Nice and neat, no subsequent exhumations to prove any foul play or wrongdoing.”

Now for poster Morgana’s second prediction.

Mr. munoz will get married in less than 12 months.

Wait and see.

He’s now a relatively young, single father with a toddler to raise. He’s going to need a wife.

It wouldn’t surprise me a bit if he remarried in only six months. And it wouldn’t mean he killed his wife.

I think this whispering campaign is misguided.
