Where does current morality and so-called fundamental religious beliefs outweigh individual rights? Apparently, at least in the State of Texas, when a declared dead pregnant woman, a wife and mother cannot be unhooked from artificial life support that only effects 'life' to keep "a distinctly abnormal" fetus alive. At what point does the state overstep its boundaries in its zeal to preserve the "right to life of a fetus" in its active denial of the rights of the mother, clinically dead, her husband and her parents? Is it possible for sane and rational religious people to understand that a woman's body is more than a petri dish? Exactly where and why does reason and religious zeal depart on rational discussions about an individuals right to choose, and more importantly, the right of every child to be born AND loved, to be cherished, and to be cared for and guided long after the child is deemed by society as mature by loving parents or guardians?
