HOUSTON (AP) — A 2-year-old girl whose parents sued a Texas hospital to prevent it from testing if she was brain-dead after she drowned in a hotel pool on Memorial Day has been removed from life support and died, her family said this week.
Annelise Camp “is now with Jesus,” her parents Johnston and Joy Camp said in a statement, weeks after a judge granted a temporary injunction in their favor. “While our hearts are broken, we trust in His perfect love, His faithfulness, and His promises.”
The family had long said she still showed signs of life and wanted more time for her to recover and explore treatment.
Breathing tubes were removed from Annelise on Monday, her grandfather Steve Camp posted online. “When this procedure was done, she passed very quickly.”
A church service for Annelise is scheduled for next Wednesday in Houston.
The Texas Right to Life organization supported the family’s case.
If the child was brain-dead while in utero I’m thinking they’d take a different stance.
No they wouldn’t.
I don’t think so? They were supporting the family’s right to preserve her “life”
Seems like they kind of took both sides on this one: https://texasrighttolife.com/2-year-old-annelise-camp-passes-away-after-brain-death-battle/
So they fought for the parents to make their own health care decisions 😐 but then didn’t stand in the way when the parents decided enough was enough 😖.
Competently tone deaf.
Edit: they’re staunchly “pro-life” if you didn’t get the subtext
Thanks for the additional link, weird organization
They mean if she was still in the womb, brain dead, and not viable to life, they wouldnt let the mother abort the pregnancy.
Yeah, which is consistent with their behavior here, trying to help the family keep a braindead toddler on a ventilator indefinitely
