Pro-Life Wisconsin shows its true colors

Lest you had any doubt that the organization is run by some real extremists, read this column in the Shepherd by Bill Christofferson.

Chad Simon, a Marine from Wisconsin, was badly injuered in November while serving in Iraq. Simon never regained consciousness after an operation to remove part of his skull. He had a living will, and the decision was made to disconnect his feeding tube on August 4.

From Xoff's column:

Jack Schuster, the family's attorney, said Chad's wife, Regina, made the decision after much soul-searching and with a judge's approval. While the family seemed to be at peace with carrying out Chad's wishes, others who didn't know the Marine weren't happy with the family's decision.

Pro-Life Wisconsin, which calls itself "your 100% pro-life voice," accused HospiceCare of murder. "Sgt. Simon was rendered handicapped by the bomb in Iraq; he was murdered by those who were in charge of his medical care," the group's press release declared.

The group has since revised their press release, but has refused to apologize for their statements.
