Score one for the “Culture of Life.”
A 13-year-old Minnesota boy with cancer must resume medical treatment to save his life, despite religious and other objections by his family — unless it already is too late, a Brown County District Court judge ruled this morning.
Daniel Hauser must have a chest x-ray by next Tuesday, when Judge John Rodenberg will learn if the boy’s Hodgkin’s lymphoma has spread, the ruling said.
“Daniel Hauser is a child in need of protection,” Rodenberg wrote, noting that five medical doctors agreed on the recommended treatment.
I never claimed to be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but why the hell is it a “triumph of freedom” to bring about your child’s death at 13 years old, but it is a “crime against humanity” to cause a clump of goo in utero to die?
As a recovering Catholic I would expect hordes of pro-lifers marching in the streets, weeping oceans of tears for this kid’s life, but I don’t see any. In fact, listening to talk radio I heard 9 out of 10 “conservatives” defending the catholic parents’ right to slaughter their child.
Color me confused.
