Not hard when half the country supports you. And given that a good bit of that support is found here on Free Republic, it's not just the Blue half either. This country is much more enmeshed in the Culture of Death than people generally care to admit.
Reference your post # 6:
Man you said a mouthfull!
What I have noticed about both the right-to-diers and the starvation-isn't- painful crowd is neither camp is willing to lead by example.
To Wit:
The right-to-die crowd is hot to trot to kill Terri and they will tell you at the drop of a hat [and throw it down] how death would be a blesing, they never volunteer to be blessd themselves.
Same thing for the starvation-is-painless crowd. You do see then going without food and water until they die.
