Default \"Culture of Life\"

Once again, its been proven that the "Culture of Life" begins at conception and ends at birth. STORY Earlier this week, a woman in the Baylor Regional Medical Center, a legal African immigrant was killed by her doctors when they unplugged her respirator and allowed her to die.

Tirhas Habtegiris was a terminal cancer patient at the hospital. On December 1st, the doctors and staff at informed her family that she would be removed the respirator that was keeping her alive in 10 days. Ms. Habtegris had no insurance, and could not pay for her medical treatment, so, under a Texas law, signed by then Governor Bush, the Medical Center had the right to refuse to further treat the woman.

Ms. Habtegiris was conscious and alert at the time. It took more than 15 minutes for her to die, once the respirator was turned off. Her dying wish was to live long enough for her mother to be brought to the US so she could die in her arms. Her mother could not be located and brought to the US in the 10 days allowed.

She wasn't white. Politicians did not diagnose her via videotape. There were no protestors outside the hospital where she died. The President did not rush back from vacation to sign a law to protect her life. She died without seeing her mother one last time.

There wasn't a single person, other than her family, that fought for HER right to live.
