Pray for Haleigh Poutre

Michelle Malkin is all over the compelling story of 11 year old Haleigh Poutre who supposedly was in a vegetative state and was about to have her life support pulled by the Massachusetts Department of Social Services. Doctors said that there was "no hope of recovery".

But wait. Now, according to a DSS spokesperson Denise Monteiro: ''The vegetative state may not be a total vegetative state."

Haleigh is breathing without a respirator that she had been on for four months and her doctors have gotten responses from her. Haleigh has been given a temporary reprieve by DSS and Monteiro says that DSS won't pull her tube - for now.

This case is somewhat similar to the Terri Schiavo case, but much more complicated. You can read more about it here in Michelle Malkin's post titled "Blogging for Haleigh".

But I just don't understand why some applaud pulling a feeding tube from a living human being - regardless of her or his condition.

And why do many of the same people plead for mercy for a murderer about to be executed, while approve the taking of innocent life?

Michelle Malkin's comments in her post titled "Haleigh Wants to Live" put it best:

"When the state condemns a convicted murderer to die, Hollywood celebrities trip all over themselves to protest.

Where are the Tinseltown activists who will rally to protect a truly innocent life?"

God help little Haleigh Poutre.
