Jeremiah G. Dys of the Family Policy Council of West Virginia has this commentary in the Charleston Gazette. He writes:
Jill Stanek, a nurse-turned-blogger, can describe this in real terms. She should know. If you go to her Web site, you can hear her tell of how she held a discarded Down Syndrome baby for 45 minutes as the child lay dying in her arms, the baby’s undeveloped lungs finally succumbing to an intended demise.
But this is as personal for you as it is for Ms. Stanek, because West Virginia law permits this passive infanticide.
In other words, it is perfectly legal for a doctor in West Virginia, upon failing to abort a pre-born child, to allow birth and then choose not to render aid. Not oxygen. Not CPR. Indeed, not even a blanket for warmth . . .
