A LIFE SAVED—TINSLEE LEWIS GOES HOME!
April 19, 2022
None of us, including me, ever do great things. But we can all do small things, with great love, and together we can do something wonderful.
~Mother Teresa
“Baby Tinslee’s” fight for life started in November 2019 when a Texas hospital moved to end her life against her mother’s wishes under the deadly Texas 10-Day Rule (see below). A fierce court battle was waged with Tinslee’s mother on one side and Cook Children’s Medical Center in Fort Worth on the other. Amid this fierce battle for Tinslee’s life, HALO, along with other prolife organizations and individuals, was a signatory to an amicus brief that was submitted to the Supreme Court of Texas (SCOTX) on behalf of Tinslee and her family. SCOTX delivered a huge win by ruling to keep Tinslee on life support against the hospital's appeal to remove it.
HALO is proud to have fought for Tinsley’s life. Today, Tinslee Lewis is a thriving, happy three-year-old who has been released from the hospital and is now living at home!
In the article Tinslee Lewis Beats the 10-Day Rule, Texas Right to Life notes, “Tinslee’s success story shows that, in the absence of an anti-life countdown, families and hospitals can work together for the benefit of the patient. Yet, despite triumphs like Tinslee’s, the 10-Day Rule is STILL LAW in Texas and is still destroying lives."
Please join HALO and Texas Right to Life in praying that the Texas 10-Day Rule is abolished!
