We had a similar situation here about 15 yrs ago when this guys wife was in a coma from an accident and pregnant. She was expected to die if she didn't abort the fetus. The DA one nitwit named Dennis Dillon got an injunction against the procedure and some other garbage tried to get himself court appointed as the wifes legal guardian. They made this guy's life hell for three months until finally she underwent the abortion and eventually was restored to full health. Years later the husband met up with the one looking to be appointed guardian. It was in the newspaper because the wife told the guy to drop dead.

Although in this case, there is a large malpractice award awaiting her husband should she pass. Schiavo that is.
