Infanticide
In March the Department of Health and Human Services issued a regulation requiring hospitals to post notices in their nurseries and in the delivery, maternity and pediatric wards which read, in part, "Any person having knowledge that a handicapped infant is being discriminatorily denied food or customary medical care should immediately contact the Handicapped infant hotline.... 800-368-1019 (available 24 hours a day)." Perhaps if this had happened sooner, the baby in Bloomington that i wrote about last January/February might not have died (Note: A federal judge has recently ruled that this regulation cannot be implemented. The decision is being appealed, and the hotline remains in operation.)
