You asked if they had the right to life. That was your question. Now you change it to say withholding treatment?
If my baby were in the NICU fighting for his/her life, I would pay whatever I needed to pay to give him every opportunity to live. I would also put his life in God's hands, and leave it to God's will.
These are the very things that people said made Glenn Beck crazy, because he said we would be having these discussions, and here we are!

We have the highest corporate tax rate, or one of them, in the OECD nations.Actually, as measured in terms of share of GDP, the U.S. has the lowest corporate tax burden of any OECD nation. While the official tax bracket may seems high -- 35 percent -- if one takes into account various loopholes and tax dodges, the effective tax rate is considerab
Lie number 2) The U.S. suffers from high taxes.
Example: The Wall Street Journal's Stephen Moore:
What all this means is that in the late 1980s, the U.S. was nearly the lowest taxed nation in the world, and a quarter century later we're nearly the highest.Totally untrue. As measured in terms of total tax revenue as a share of overall GDP the average tax burden for countries that are members of the Organizati
The Top 3 Lies About Taxes:
Lie Number 1) Poor people don't pay taxes.
Example: From The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities
At a hearing last month, Senator Charles Grassley said, "According to the Joint Committee on Taxation, 49 percent of households are paying 100 percent of taxes coming in to the federal governmentThe Center on Budget and Policy Priorities." At the same hearing, Cato Institute Senior Fellow Alan Reynolds asserted, "Poor people don't pay taxes in this country." Last April, referring to a Tax Policy Center estimate of households with no federal income tax liability in 2009, Fox Business host Stuart Varney said on Fox and Friends, "Yes, 47 percent of households pay not a single dime in taxes."
The purpose of sex is to create life,
Why are the babies in the studies I gave you pulling away from what would cause them pain? Why are their heart rates accelerating?
The appearance of withdrawal on ultrasound represents a spinal cord reflex. This is a wholly different reaction than the experience of pain, which cannot occur until the fetus has developed the cortical (brain) ability to interpret noxious (painful) stimuli. Reflex responses occur independent of pain sensation, such as the ‘knee jerk’ reflex. Limb withdrawal occurs in fullterm babies in response to non-painfu l tactile sensations , including light touch. Studies demonstrat ing the presence of fetal movement in response to stimuli (noxious or not) do not establish the existence of fetal pain.
My guess is this study was done by abortion providers, right?
==========
The scientists on one of the studies I provided (which concluded that based on the best available scientific evidence, a human fetus probably does not have the capacity to experience pain until the 29th week of pregnancy at the earliest -- Lee SJ, Ralston HJ, Drey EA, Partridge JC, Rosen MA. Fetal pain: a systematic multidisci
Mark Rosen, MD, is Professor of Anesthesia; Professor of Obstetrics , Gynecology and Reproducti ve Sciences; and Director of Obstetrica l Anesthesia at UCSF. Dr. Rosen is a leading expert in anesthesia use in the context of fetal surgery.
Henry J. Ralston III, MD, PhD, is Professor of Anatomy and faculty in the Neuroscience Graduate Program at UCSF. His research laboratory investigat es the organizati on of the neural networks that serve somatic sensation, including pain, in the mammal.
J. Colin Partridge, MD, is the Health Sciences Clinical Professor and the Academy Chair in Pediatric Education in the Department of Pediatrics at UCSF. Dr. Partridge is a neonatologist specializi ng in the care of extremely premature newborns.
Eleanor Drey, MD, EdM, is Associate Professor of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproducti ve Sciences at UCSF. Dr. Drey is the Director of the Women’s Options Center and is an expert in the provision of late abortion care.
Susan Lee, JD, MD, was a medical student at UCSF at the time the article was published and is now a resident and research fellow in the Department of Surgery at UCSF.
In March 2010, the Royal College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (RCOG) published a review of all studies on fetal awareness and recommendations for practice. The review was the result of one year of study by ten experts from all relevant fields. Expert participan ts were:
• Professor Allan Templeton FRCOG (Chair)
• Professor Richard Anderson FRCOG, Reproductive Medicine Specialist ,
• University of Edinburgh
• Ms Toni Belfield, Member of the RCOG Consumers’ Forum
• Dr Stuart Derbyshire, SeniorLect urer, School of Psychology , University of Birmingham
• Mrs Kay Ellis, Department of Health Observer
• Ms Jane Fisher, Director, Antenatal Results and Choices (ARC)
• Professor Maria Fitzgerald, Professor of Developmen tal Neurobiolo gy, UCL London
• Dr Tahir Mahmood, RCOG VicePresident (Standards )
• Professor Neil Marlow, Neonatologist, UCL London
• Professor Vivienne Nathanson, Director of Professional Activities ,
• British Medical Association
• Professor Donald Peebles FRCOG, Obstetrician, UCL, London
• Ms Stephanie Michaelides, Royal College of Midwives
• Supported by Mrs Charnjit Dhillon, RCOG Director of Standards
The RCOG study confirmed the key points of the UCSF review conducted 5 years earlier.
Common sense would argue otherwise. It makes absolutely no sense!
