She did not want to live that way.

And that really pi$$ed off the extreme right-to-life fanatics who believed she had no right to make that decision for herself.

THEY decide who should die (no one). THEY know better. THEY hold the moral high ground. THEY are a group of very scary people.

Now, when we ask voters to vote conservative because we're pro-life, THEY are the people who come to mind.

Not really helping our cause, now is it?

"She did not want to live that way."

That wasn't in writing. It's not at all clear what she did or did not want. You talk with certitude, which is a joke.

"And that really pi$$ed off the extreme right-to-life fanatics who believed she had no right to make that decision for herself."

Pi$$ed me off too, and I'm anything but a right-to-lifer. Once belonged to the Hemlock Society. Went to a few meetings, too. But this was far far different. She had no written directive (so she didn't "make that decision for herself" as you're saying, and as the dufus judge ruled) and the state willingly sided with death, which just riles me to the core.

"THEY decide who should die (no one). THEY know better. THEY hold the moral high ground. THEY are a group of very scary people."

No THEY didn't decide. Terri is DEAD now! In this case, I believe THEY do know better, and do hold the moral high ground. THEY don't scare me anymore. I'm far more scared by the OTHER SIDE of this argument. Guess I've matured.
