FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) - The body of a brain-dead, pregnant Texas woman was removed from life support Sunday after a Fort Worth hospital agreed to follow a judges order siding with the womans family. Here are comments from both John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth and attorneys for the husband of the woman, Marlise Munoz: The past eight weeks have been difficult for the Munoz family, the caregivers and the entire Tarrant County community, which found itself involved in a sad situation. JPS Health Network has followed what we believed were the demands of a state statute. From the onset, JPS has said its role was not to make nor contest law but to follow it. On Friday, a state district judge ordered the removal of life-sustaining treatment from Marlise Munoz. The hospital will follow the court order. - JPS Health Network, in statement issued by spokeswoman J.R. Labbe.
