Medicine and Politics DO NOT MIX

SB 439 is absolutely the most ridiculous piece of legislation this session. It all stems from the mother that has completely refused to acknowledge her child is terminal and can no longer be helped by agressive treatment.

When is an apology not enough

God may forgive us our transgressions more easily than we forgive each other.
