The issues in the Schiavo case are the headlights of the car speeding right at every older woman, every chronically ill woman, every woman with a disability in this country."

Well, maybe the feminists are being true to themselves after all. They won't defend helpless babies, so why should they worry about helpless disabled women? Maybe they just think Terry is some sort of a plant.

"Maybe they just think Terry is some sort of a plant."

Oh no, they don't think that. If they thought she was an endangered plant no effort would be too great to save her. No amount of housing not built, land not farmed, businesses not started, no sacrifice too great would there be to save Terry the plant.

The author has it right in the article, the womens movement(along with others, I assert) may "...see Schiavo less as a woman and more as a disability[.]"

They see her as a "useless mouth", someone to be exterminated.

This was a good post, the writer is a little all over the place, but she tells some true truths to "power" in this piece.
