MORE RE TERRI SCHIAVO

Why is it that the same cons who spew

1. sanctity of marriage

2. state's rights

3. anti 'judicial activism'

crap have completely abandoned those positions and are now advocating

1. Parental rights trumping marital rights.

2. Federal government involvement in issues that have been decided by state appellate courts and rejected by the SCOTUS.

3. Judicial overruling of established statutes and precedent

for ONE SINGLE CASE?

Flippety floppety.

Those advocating continued treatment here are advocating an end run around the statutory scheme of a state AND the judicial decisions of nearly 20 judges over 15 years for political points.

And let's be clear -if 'feeding' must be accomplished by surgical means it falls under the category of medical treatment not merely food. As someone else said - feeding her would be giving her a sandwich and a glass of water, this is medicine.

This woman was a bulimic who vomited so much that her low potassium levels caused heart failure. She was given heroic measures that failed and her brain was severely damaged. She has since deteriorated to the point where she has no cerebral cortex, only spinal fluid in its place. She is incapable of higher brain function, and not even the most promising stem cell treatments can change that. Let her soul be free.

What do you think they'd say if she was an 80-year-old black woman? What if Theresa were Terrence and his family was arguing for discontinued treatment while his partner was fighting to keep him alive, and they'd been married in Massachusetts?

Gee, what do you think would happen to the "Culture of Life" then?
