California mom denied right to children

An article in the Friday issue of the Utah Statesman told the horrific story of medical negligence that lead to a mother being paralyzed. She is unable to speak or communicate verbally, because of a series of medical mistakes. Her husband left her and is raising her children in LA while her parents care for her in S.C.
The father of the children claims that being near their now disabled mother is traumatizing and he wants them to live with him and see their mother infrequently if at all. I was shocked and horrified that in the year 2011 we would still be discussing whether someone with a physical disability has the right to be a mother or not. This story is right out of the nineteen seventies, how obscene that this woman would even be dragged into court. I have seen religious leaders come out in support of mothers who expose their children to countless harms in the name of religion. I would be horrified if those same leaders did not stand up for this woman's God given and constitutional right to have her children visit her in her home.
