Privacy is what the left uses to justify abortion. I wonder if the government should stay out of it if I was to "privately" murder my spouse.
Government is obligated to ensure that a persons constitutional rights are not abridged. In this case, they have been, including Terri's religious rights and her due process rights.
What bedroom are we discussing here? The hospice bed? As for the Big Government argument, please read Article III and IV of the Constitution. You may be surprised about the power of Congress over the judiciary.
Also, I am completely unreligious, but I believe in the sanctity of man's life and I do not err on the side of death when when there is doubt about the person's wishes.
