No sooner did I clear out all those links, those nice, fun, harmless links about long underwear and printing kidneys on demand when I open my friends page and find... new links. New, not so fun links.

Doctor Gets Court Order to Confine Pregnant Woman Against Her Will

That link is bad enough, but of course once there you get to read all sorts of other depressing un-fun things. You can find them yourself. I'm going to take a short break to... I don't know, do stuff. I was going to go into the city this morning, but it'll have to wait until this afternoon because... yeah.

Edit: Updated here.

This cannot hold up in court, and I don't see how it did the first time. Every patient has a right to a 2nd opinion, every patient has the right to choose their location of treatment, every patient has the right to sign out AMA - Against Medical Advice.

I saw that article last night, and I just what I don't even know.

You're right, it didn't. Someone just pointed me to the Wiki page for this case:

On August 12, 2010, the Florida Circuit Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit issued its ruling, written by the Honorable Nikki Clark, in favor of Burton and against the State. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burton_v._Florida)
