We're back and proud to stand with Terri's defenders ...
... Deceptively worded polls be damned.
First, we accept the concept of a "living will" wherein an individual can clearly state his desires vis-a-vis situations like this.
But there is no proof that Terri wished to die should this be her fate.
She is neither "brain dead" nor on "life support".
Nor is it clear she is in a "persistent, vegetative state".
There are amazing people -- her family -- who are going to extraordinary lengths to assume the unbelievable burden of her care.
We find no inconsistency in our traditional support for federalism and "states' rights" and our current support for Congressional action to ensure this woman is afforded "due process." Once again, Florida's rogue courts have trampled on the will of the people of Florida as expressed by their legislators -- remember the 2000 Election brouhaha? No one so far has made a Constitutional argument that the Congress, acting under the auspices of Article III, has overstepped it's legal role.
What we find astonishing is that the same people who scream "NAZIS" when a terrorist is forced to wear panties on his head are so eager to see this innocent woman starved to death.
We ask them to consider their reaction were Mumia, Khalil Sheik Mohammed or a snail darter in Terri's place.
Is this case such a threat to the "right" to eviscerate unborn babies that you will not afford Ms. Schiavo the same legal protections you will surely DEMAND for the rapist/murderer of Jessica Lunford?
Sick.
