Can't you keep your Christian fundies on a leash?

[junastarrider]

Even us Canadians can't escape the grasp of your fundies.

www.windsorstar.com/news/Baby+Joseph+rallies+held+London/4380339/story.html



For a brief synopsis, Joseph is a baby with a rare terminal condition that leaves him unable to breathe on his own. He's essentially in a vegetative state.

Now, both the family and the hospital agree that he has no chance of recovery, but they are in the middle of an argument of what to do. The family wants the hospital to preform a tracheotomy and bring the boy home, where he will live for a few more months. The hospital is arguing that the surgery will not be beneficial, and would like to cut off life support.

Now, I'm rather impartial right now, since both sides have valid points, but then the American 'Right to Life' caught the scent, and have been coming over the border in droves, in order to protest the hospital. The family, as far as I know, did not invite, nor ask for their help, although they are now accepting help for the court proceedings.


Seriously, you guys couldn't mind your own damn business? We have a poor family who's going through a terrible time, and all you think of is pushing your damn agenda. Seriously, if you were so damn "Pro-life" you'd focus on the people within your borders who die because they can't pay for their treatment. Instead, you guys are hoping for the next Terri Schiavo case, where you can parade your damn hypocrisy.

Seriously....leave us and the poor family alone.

Once again, America shows its superiority by exporting shit nobody wants yet everyone will have to deal with.

Actually, I think butting into Canada's business is a corollary to the Monroe Doctrine.

[Thejebusfire]

This is why other countries think we Americans are all stupid.

[DeadpanDoubter]

Sorry, sorry...I'll use a thicker chain next time...Ida May, Bobby Joe! Get your sorry asses back down here and put the fucking collar back on!

Srsly tho, I am so sorry.

[wmdkitty]

Fuck. Just let the boy die in peace!

What good is a "right to life" when that "life" is going to be short, painful, and ridiculously expensive?

And why can't these asshat "right to lifers" keep their fucking dogma off MY BODY?

Fucking media whores.

Well Canada, there's a very simple solution, it's called not approving their visas. You let them in, it's your own damn fault they're there.

[anti-nonsense]

Don't need visas to cross over the border from the US, just need a valid passport.

[itachirumon]

^That's what I used to see a friend in 2005! But... didn't they change that last year or in 2008 or something so that we DO need Visas now?

[Vene]

They're your problem now, keep the fuckers.

Nope. They just changed it so you have to be carrying your passport with you when you cross, you didn't have to before.

^ What he said.

[eldalar]

An unbelievable chance for america, don't let them back in again and if they come back they are illegal immigrants and are therefore required to hate themselves.

But to be serious, I am halfway on the side of the family, it is their boy and if they want it to be done it should be done. On the other hand I can understand the hospital, don't know how much it costs, but I doubt such an operation is that cheap and doing it for someone without realy helping him .... well, I can see their point.

It would be far easier if it wouldn't be a baby ... if it would be someone who can somehow state what he wants it would be far easier.

[anti-nonsense]

Don't leave them here with us...if they are illegal immigrants can we deport them to Mexico instead?

I'm on the side of the hospital, why the hell should we waste money on a baby that isn't going to survive for more then a few months anyway, it's fairly pointless.

I agree - if this drags on then maybe they learn to like the cold...

srsly though - if it was that f*@king important to them they all should have taken their travel money and paid for the damn tracheotomy.

I thought you could do a field tracheotomy with a pen casing (sans ink) and a pocket knife...didn't they do that once on M*A*S*H?
