WILL YOU MAKE A PHONE CALL OR SEND AN E-MAIL TO SAVE BABY MUNOZ' LIFE?


URGENT ALERT 
Will you make a phone call or send an e-mail to save Baby Munoz' life?



From Judie Brown, President
American Life League

I am writing today with an URGENT request. There is a preborn baby in Texas who will be put to death by Monday at 5:00 PM if all of us don't act immediately.

Since November 26, 2013, Baby Munoz' mother, Marlise Munoz, has been treated at John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth, Texas. Marlise was found unconscious by her husband and was taken to the hospital. She was put on life support and has been taken care of by the hospital for the last eight weeks. She is pregnant and her baby is still alive. Baby Munoz is just 22 weeks old and needs to stay in mom's womb for a few more weeks to have a good chance of survival.

The problem is that Marlise Munoz has been declared "brain dead" by doctors and the doctors, her husband, and her parents want treatment stopped. They want Marlise and her baby to be killed. The hospital has been the good guy here and has refused to stop treatment. The family took the hospital to court and, on Friday...

The judge ordered the hospital to kill both the mother and child by taking life support away from the mother!

The hospital is considering whether or not to appeal the ruling. Any appeal will give Baby Munoz more time to develop and increase the chances of survival.

Because of the "brain death" declaration, many people are making this into a complicated case. It is not. Your American Life League has been fighting these "Brain Death" declarations for years and, sadly, we predicted just this kind of thing, and worse, would happen. I could write volumes on why "brain death" is NOT true death and why medical personnel could not keep a truly dead person functioning for 8 weeks.

But we don't have time for that. We need to save this mother and child and we need to do it immediately.

We need you to call the hospital and beg them to continue fighting for the mother and child and to appeal the judge's ruling. Call or e-mail and thank them for what they have been doing and beg them to appeal.

Call the hospital president and CEO, Robert Earley at 817-702-3431. You can also reach the Chief Operating Officer, Bill Whitman, at the same number.
E-mail the Chairman of the Board, Trent Petty, at: BoardChair@jpshealth.org

Whether you call or e-mail, you need to do it immediately. Baby Munoz will be dead by Monday evening if we do not act NOW.

Thank you and pray that God will save this mother and child.
