They made the decision that the cost to keep him alive would be greater than his value to society.
Anyway, this "EO" is toothless. No hospital or clinic will intentionally allow any of their personnel to kill a viable live birth. The issue will come up when the baby is too disabled to survive for more than a few months in excruciating circumstances, and someone decides it's more Godly or something like that and force the hospital or family to torture a dying baby in the name of their personal cult opinion.
