Abortion and euthanasia are closely connected.
In the Netherlands, hospitals are now actively euthanizing seriously ill and retarded babies by lethal injection.
This hospital policy is called "The Groningen Protocol"

I went to the NOW site to see what their position was on a man killing his wife. Nothing, nada.
Even a search turns up nothing.

The National Organization for Women (NOW) today held a jubilant news conference to celebrate the latest advance in women's rights -- the right to have your estranged husband choose to end your life.
"First, it was women's suffrage -- the right to vote -- then abortion, the right to privacy," said an unnamed NOW spokesman. "Finally, a man has led the way in freeing us from the antiquated bigotry that has kept our former husbands from choosing a slow, painful death for us."
The NOW source said the court-ordered removal of Terri Schiavo's feeding tube, based on the testimony of Michael Schiavo alone has "opened a world of opportunities for women to freely die at the hands of the men they love."
"The next time you tell your husband 'I'd rather die than go to that party,' you can rest assured that your words have legal weight and, if the occasion arises, your wishes will be respected," said the NOW source. "What's more, you're free from the worry that your man will be prosecuted for your murder."
Michael Schiavo lives with another woman and their two children. He developed this "backup family" according to his lawyer, "to assuage his eventual grief over the coming loss of Terri -- the woman he loves to death."
Legal experts at the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) also praised the "new progressive precedent in contract law."
"The court has affirmed that a verbal contract where the only witness is one of the contracting parties is legally binding even if that witness has already violated a written contract, in this case a marriage license, verbally affirmed before dozens of witnesses," said the ACLU expert. "The bias against known contract-breakers is gone. This also gives a more influential voice before the courts to our nation's incapacitated, comatose and dead citizens. Their wishes can be determined by the words of their beneficiaries without the hassle of documentation or multiple witnesses."

Excellent. See my letter to NOW under the topic "Another Loss, but a Glimmer of Hope."
Amazing silence, huh?
NOW is only one of the organizations revealing themselves to be nothing but political hacks for the Democratic Party. Disability rights groups like ADAPT also aren't living up to their alleged missions.
Cultural Marxism comes before women's rights.
I just sent NOW an e-mail asking them what they thought about this issue. I doubt if I'll hear anything back from them, however...they probably don't wanna talk, would they?
Is it possible for me to add their e-mail as a seperate post for y'all to read if they holler back @ me? If so, how would I do that?
And where is the ACLU??????
"And where is the ACLU??????"
Supporting Michael Schiavo's position that's where.
All Republicans had to do is say "Terri should die", then the left would have really screamed about her "rights". The way it is now is the left does not wqant to support "right to life" in anyway for the fear it will bleed into the abortion issue. ACLU, being liberal, is not going to touch this issue. Is it any wonder that 'civil liberties' are selective by these morons?
awesome. and true.
Thank you. Yes, I checked their (aclu) web site and they are a major part of this entire problem. They were helping the left wing judge. Gees.
For NOW to be quiet on this issue is amazing.
NOW is all about killing not "Choice.
"For NOW to be quiet on this issue is amazing."
NOW's silence does not surprise me. They were quiet on the Clinton/Lewinsky matter, Paula Jones, etc....Hell, they didn't even weep with the ultimate victim -- Hillary Clinton.
Masks are down. Feminists are crooks.
Hey, Terri Schiavo was just in her 123rd tri-mester.
By the way, that is a great seal. What does the latin say?
All of a sudden the NAG gang has no problem with a man controlling a woman's life--and death.
