I just read an incredibly disturbing article on a Massachusetts ruling to remove an 11-year old in a constant vegetative state from life support after being allegedly kicked and beaten nearly to death with a bat by her stepfather, Jason Strickland. He fought the states desire to remove life support saying:
“Jason Strickland, who never formally adopted the girl, argued that as the stepfather, he should be considered a de facto parent and allowed to have a say in whether she lives or dies. Egan insisted his client wasn't motivated by the chance he could be charged with murder if the girl dies. "We should be coming down on the side of life as opposed to death," he told the justices during last month's hearing.
Wasn’t he already allowed to have a say in whether she lived or died? Maybe he should have come down on the side of life before beating a beautiful, defense little girl with a baseball bat.
Who are these people?
I’m sick to my stomach now.
