Operation Rescue Condemns Judge's Order to Terminate Life Support for TX Mom and Baby
January 24, 2014
Ft.
Worth, TX - Operation Rescue issues the following statement in
response to Judge R.H. Wallace, Jr.'s ruling this afternoon ordering
John Peter Smith Hospital to terminate life support to Marlise Munoz and
thereby kill her pre-born baby. This statement is attributable to
Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue.
We
are appalled by Judge Wallace's order to terminate life support for
Marlise Munoz and her baby. The order is the equivalent of signing a
death sentence for Baby Munoz. We utterly reject the false notion that
Marlise's body is a rotting corpse, which is impossible since a
decaying body cannot support the life of a baby for weeks, as Marlise
has.
Killing
people because they are disabled is wrong, and dangerously devalues
all life. We condemn in the strongest terms this order to fatally
discriminate against this disabled mother and her baby, especially in
light of the fact that there are people standing by to adopt the baby
knowing that the child will have special needs.
