It is his job to enforce the law. His is failing in that and an innocent women will die. He will NEVER get any support from the cultural conservatives again if he fails to act now.

Fine.
Perhaps when you are suffering in a hopelessly terminal state of existance, hooked up to machines with no chance of recovery.....THEN you can petition the Governor to make sure NOBODY allows you the grace to die naturally without artificial means to extend your suffering longer.

A non sequiter jorgy. She isn't terminal. She has a chance of recovery.

Food and water is not "artificial means"

Oh fer crying out loud, are you talking about a different case here? Terri is not dying, at least she wasn't until they started starving her to death! She doesn't have a terminal illness like cancer or AIDS. She is brain damaged, but she is conscious, she laughs, smiles, cries and tries to speak... and according to many doctors, she can improve with therapy (which has been denied to her by her husband in the last 10 years)

Please get your facts straight. Intentionally STARVING SOMEONE TO DEATH is not "letting them die naturally", just as if you purposely witheld food from an infant, it wouldn't be "letting them die", it's MURDER.
