Texas laws ignite clash over life support and pregnancy
Leonard Pitts Jr. argues the Texas law that prohibits removing a pregnant woman from life support pits family wishes against state interests. Marlise Munoz, 33, collapsed at home and remained on life support as doctors, citing privacy, declined to confirm brain death. Marlise was 14 weeks pregnant, prompting family demands for withdrawal. The column contrasts Marlise’s case with Jahi McMath’s, noting broader political tension in a red state favoring small government yet asserting control over personal morality.
