Parents of sextuplets head back to court to fight B.C. government

VANCOUVER (CP) - The parents of Canada's first sextuplets are heading to court on Monday to fight the B.C. government's seizure of their babies for potentially life-saving blood transfusions.
Their lawyer, Shane Brady, said his clients want the court to rule that their constitutional rights were violated.
"The family's very upset with what happened," Brady said. They were never given an opportunity to defend themselves."
The parents, who have never spoken to the media, are Jehovah's Witnesses whose religion forbids blood transfusions under any circumstance.

| I hope all good Christians speak up about this. It's insane to want to let babies die because you misread the bible. |

Yes... I read the original case when it first broke out in the news.
Wouldn't an IVF be blood transfusion-related?? |

Why only Christians? Any knowledgeable person knows that JW's are not Christian and the book that they refer to as their "bible" is not the Christian Bible.
The vast majority - if not all - Christians vehemently reject the JW beliefs regarding blood transfusions.
How about "I hope all good people speak up about this...." |
