Every day I try to forget the blood lust the dems had for making sure Teri Schiavo was put to death. The Dem culture of death.

Not to single you out in the slightest - but I really think that's part of the problem. People don't want to think about the fact that other human beings can become so obsessed with making sure that death happens - I know I don't enjoy being reminded of it, and I overlook it far too many times. And yet, that really just makes me an enabler.

I understand. During that time I really prayed that her family could take care of her. But look who won and this poor woman was starved to death. Truth is, I can never forget how these people lusted for the death of this woman and told theiselves it was the best thing.

Not to make this a Terri thread, but she is the ultimate example of both the direct and indirect culture of death. There were those who believed she was useless to society, a "drain" on resources and needed to be put to death because her husband said so. Then there were those who took a less honest route in calling for her death. They always called for her to be "sent home" and "let go". They claimed to be tired of hearing the story and wished her death so that they wouldn't hear about it any more. I don't know which is worse, being honest in one's calls for death of another, or those who cloak it under the guise of caring. I think the latter, as many invoked God while calling for her starvation.

I overlooked abortion when I was younger because I felt it didn't involve me. I couldn't have been more wrong. We all take our sides in the struggle between good and evil.
