28. I'm pretty sure that is not the case.
I'm pretty sure that if I had tried to refuse NICU care to my babies when they were born they would have just been whisked off without my consent and I would have been relieved of my parental rights soon thereafter.

I believe that your statement is really only applicable to babies born in the grey area of viability; around 22-24 weeks gestation. Even then, in many cases, the baby will be treated aggressively over the objections of the parents.
