Just like countless other families, the family of Terri Schiavo has
struggled for years with the intensely difficult decision of how to
match her course of treatment to her wishes. Now President George W.
Bush, Rep. Tom DeLay (R-TX) and Sen. Bill Frist (R-TN) are using the

You seem to totally disregard the Democrats who voted for the measure
(in
the
House) or allowed the measure to pass *without* objection in the
Senate.
Any
good reason for that?

"All decisions are the result of binary thinking."
It was some of the Democrats who chose to make it political. The same
sort of thing was seen here in this NG when I posted about her demise on
Friday.
It is a shame some see this as a political thing when it should be
simply
seen as trying to save a life by affording a person their Constitutional
rights.
Which constitutional rights would those be, moron?
Would this one cover it?
AMENDMENT XIV
Passed by Congress June 13, 1866. Ratified July 9, 1868.
Note: Article I, section 2, of the Constitution was modified by section 2
of the
14th amendment.
Section 1.
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the
jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State
wherein
they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge
the
privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any
State
deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of
law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the
laws.
Of course, one may ask, "What is 'due process of law'?"
One may also ask how long we will put up with people interfering in family
decisions. If you had communicated to your wife what that woman told her
husband, but you had not put it in writing yet, and you were in her
condition, your wife would be going through this exact same bull****. And
that's EXACTLY what it is.
