Bastards!
To put a family through this is inhumane!

Not only is their daughter dead, the fetus was 14 weeks at the time, and is 20 weeks now, a few more weeks and termination won't be a 'choice.'

This woman made it known she never wanted to be kept on life support under these circumstances.

and... to add insult to injury, the STATE FORCING THIS won't EVEN PAY for THEIR CHOICE! F--King Scumbags

...but it was reported on the drive-time this morning that the state has already informed the family that they will be held legally responsible for ALL of her medical expenses. And it's being reported that if and when the baby is born, it could also be severely brain-damaged since there is now concern that both the mother and child may have been without adequate oxygen for as long as an hour. Of course, any additional expenses that this may result in will also be the responsibility of the family:
