If you live in the USA, this has Terri Schiavo-energy all around. It’s different, I know. Terri was alive and braindead. This infant is gonna die. The court is sparing the infant pain.
But why would you keep a child alive to suffer? It’s like Terri in that the parents refuse to think about anyone other than themselves. That’s just cruel / terrible / bad.
There is very good reason to deny it when it will only prolong suffering. That a fascist government has hopped on a Christo-fascist bandwagon is irrelevant. Her condition is incurable and she is suffering.

There is no reason to assume the child must be suffering. People with access to palliative care usually are not suffering, even if they have a terminal illness.
I’m not assuming anything. That is the basis of the medics’ decision and the court’s ruling.
If her doctors are unable to manage pain then her parents should be allowed to find doctors who can.
She isn’t the first child with this disease, after all. And withdrawal of support is certainly not standard of care for patients like her.
So the baby should die in part… Because of politics? The rest of what you have is fair but really?
No. The baby should not be forced to suffer because of politics.
