I have used the term 'disenfranchised' on several occasions, to characterize the scope of Terri's plight. Allow me to expand that here.

The Roe v Wade and subsequent SCOTUS rulings have effectively disenfranchised the alive unborn ... a pregnant woman has full 'right' to order that her unborn child on life support in her body be 'put down', terminated with deadly force (executed) if she so chooses. Since the court rulings have established the notion that the unborn are not citizens until born and since this grants to the life supporting woman the full right to have that child 'executed' at her choice, we see what the total disenfranchisement of an alive individual can arrive at when the strict interpretation of 'personhood' definition is applied.

When judge Greer granted Michael Schiavo guardianship of Terri, he effectively disenfranchised Terri, placed her rights at the whim of her guardian, took her right to exercise ownership and right to life at the hands of her legal guardian ... need we revisit the fact that it was Michael Schaivo whom, acting as court appointed guardian, placed the DNR on Terri's chart while she resided in a nursing facility; need we revist the fact that it was the guardian of the state statutes (judge greer) who granted Terri's guardian the right to order her put down via dehydration and starvation? I have pointed out that Michael has been defrauding his ward by committing adultery that breaches the fealty laws of the state of Florida. Defrauding someone for whom you've been appoint the holder of life and death decisions is a very serious miscarriage of the guardianship laws in the state of Florida. I will not revisit the fact that the governor can suspend the execution of a ruling that he believes is in error while an investigation occurs to determine the validity in light of unexplored findings ... Jeb Bush's own amicus brief to Lazzara's court is evidence that the governor believes Terri's Constitutional rights (both state and federal) are being violated.
