I heard from Lanore Dixon, Andrea Clark’s sister. Here is what I was told. She asked me to pass it on:

“St. Luke’s has agreed not to pull Andrea’s life support at least until Tuesday. On Tuesday, a committee of doctors from St. Luke’s will meet to discuss how to proceed with Andrea’s case. Andrea’s new doctor—a doctor who shares our values about the sacredness of life—will take over her care on Tuesday and will fight for her right to live. Let us all hope and pray that the committee meeting on Tuesday is chaired by doctors who have a reverence for life and not a former abortionist like the St. Luke’s ethics committee chair.”

Apparently the Illinois facility was a nursing home and was not equipped to provide Andrea with proper care. So St. Luke’s appropriately stopped the transfer.
