It is a very sad story. There is no way this story states anything except profound loss. The man has a lovely daughter, but, he has lost his sons and wife it what may be tragic neglect and/or malpractice. The details are not clear. He is in terrible grief over all this.
What is astounding.is the reply of the Catholic Church. When the law states a child is not a child until it is born according to the statues of the USA, then that is fine for the church, too. However, even the Catholic Health Initiatives believe life begins at conception.
They are correct. Life begins at conception, but, citizenry does not begin until birth in the USA. As it should be. Pro-life likes to confuse the issue as it surrounds abortion. A fetus is life, ask anyone. But, to state it is a viable life backed up by murder statues is crazy.
What bothers me is this man was not seeking to change the meaning of the words of the USA laws, but, simply hold those that oversaw the death of the pregnancy of twins responsible for the loss. Now, why that can't be a viable complaint and the judge simply allowed the church to wash their hands of it, is beyond me. I am fairly sure Colorado has emergency room liability laws.
She died at age 31. Her unborn twin boys perished with her. (click here for video)

...That was New Year's Day 2006. Stodghill, left behind to raise their then-2-year-old daughter alone, sued the hospital and its owner, Catholic Health Initiatives, for the wrongful deaths of all three.
After about two years of litigation, defense attorneys for the hospital and doctors entered an argument that shocked the widower.
They said that under state law, an embryo is not person until it is born alive, according to court documents. The Stodghills' twins were deceased when they were removed from their mother's lifeless body.
"I didn't even get to hold them," Jeremy Stodghill said. "I have an autopsy picture. That's all I've got."...
Indeed.
Indeed.
