It was known and has been a LOCAL issue for years. This was nothing new, only until the out of state activists bussed down to protest did it become apparent to the legislature to do something. That something was unconstitutional.

And Terri Schaivo is not dead, as a result. But you seem to miss the point here: just suppose that Terri's guardian does not have her best interests at heart? Claims to that effect are precisely why this has been an issue "for years."

"just suppose that Terri's guardian does not have her best interests at heart? Claims to that effect are precisely why this has been an issue "for years."

I do agree with you on this point but don't we have to trust the process of the courts on this one? The 10 years spent on this case? I do not see the courts making a hasty decision on this woman's life. But I did see that in the legislature.

Thank you for the good argument on this. You seem pretty level headed. Worthy of debate
LOL

Ping for Terri!

Let me know if you want on or off this ping list.

AJ, you say "...only until the out of state activists bussed down to protest did it become apparent to the legislature to do something."

I'm not aware of 'out of state activists bussed down'.

At least, there were no busses or bussed-in people when I was there on 10/19 & 20, the weekend before the legislature acted.

I did meet people who responded to Terri's situation by spending their vacation time & $$$ to come on their own (by plane, car, bus).

I can check with others who've been there all along to see if I'm just missing something.
