Medicine, Religion Collide in Chemo Refusal

"A non-profit group called Children's Healthcare Is a Legal Duty is tracking five criminal prosecutions around the U.S., all cases that involve children being denied health care because of religious beliefs. Including the Wisconsin case, there are two cases in Oregon; one case in Tennessee; and one case in Pennsylvania. Since 1983 the group, which says it works to stop abusive religious and cultural practices, has tracked 66 similar prosecutions."
