Update on the Ruthie Webster Right to Live case

Many people have contacted us regarding Ms. Webster and wanting an update on the case.

Last week Ms. Webster was moved to a long term care facility in Illinois that has the capability to do in-patient dialysis. This facility was located through the tireless work of her family.

Since Ms. Webster was moved, the injunction will now be dissolved as it served its purpose, this time, and allowed us to prevent the doctors from killing her until we could get her moved.

However, our fight still continues. In our lawsuit we sued the State of Texas through the office of the Attorney General and are continuing our quest to have this law declared unconstitutional and void. That battle is still ahead of us.

We have been gratified to see the amount of interest in this case from across the globe and would urge everyone to continue talking about it and spreading the word. While Ms. Webster is out of danger for right now, there are many other people in Texas who are or will be facing similar situations in the future.

Please contact your state or federal representative and let them know you disapprove of this law. Contact your local news media, television and print, and let them know this topic is of interest to you.

Last, contact the Attorney General's office in Austin, Texas and let them know how the public feels about this law.
