Look how far our legal system has fallen in this age of abortion.

Twenty years ago, just twenty years ago, it would have been scandalous for a hospital to stop doing everything it could to keep someone alive. People being on life support for decades was not uncommon.

Now we have a case where a woman is obviously responsive, as any view of the videos of her show, but is merely bed ridden and cant feed herself.

She can stay alive without a breathing machine or any extraordinary measures, but is dependent on feeding tubes alone.

This dehumanizes her into a nonperson whose spouse can have starved to death?

Were Michael, her husband, trying to do this to a lame pet dog, he would have been jailed a long time ago and the dog removed from his care.

But since this is a helpless human being, and the wacko murder advocates want their pound of flesh, she less right to life than a lame dog. The logic of Roe v Wade proceedes unslowed by the success of the Conservative movement.

Bhis is a proverbial 'canary in the mine' case.

If the legal system allows this woman to be murdered through starvation, one of the worst ways of dying imaginable, then our legal system is in crisis.

If the life of a helpless woman is so unworthy of consideration because she married the wrong man and is now dependent on him to keep her alive then the criteria for any of us to be isolated from society and starved to death is established.

If our legal system has become so bound to the mere letter of the law that it will allow a woman to be murdered in this horrific way in cold blood by a callous husband and a conniving judge, then it is a legal system damned, steeped in evil disregard for human life beyond any recognition of that which is good.

Any of us can have access to stores of food removed from us, it does not require a feeding tube, but only a camp, or restricting access to food stores with armed guards like Stalin did.

The pretext for the isolation could be anything or any combination of reasons, like 'sensitivity training camps' for egregious hate crime offenders and for any imaginable legal reasons their supply of food is interupted. Lets say food shipments are interupted by a lawsuit, and the people left to starve, not *maliciously* underestand, but merely due to the entanglements of complicated law, and thousands or even tens of thousands allowed to starve to death as the courts drag their feet.

Of course those who prefer to not realize the logical possibilities will insist that I am deluded and paranoid. But the law is a cold and harsh thing left onits own, without the guidance of those who have a prevailing respect for human life to prevent the letter of the law from being used to end innocent human life.

According to the leftist murder advocates, a dog is entitled to more respect than a helpless woman.

Maybe Terry's family should press domestic violence charges on Michael and remove him from his protection?

This is a horrid case and this husband is scum and the judge is Satanic.

I would rather be governed by the student council at Bob Jones University than people like this judge (no offense to Bob Jones University for the comparison).

I haven't been following this case closely, but it is sickening to realize that this is all about the abortion crowd run amok. It is criminal to starve a pet to death. But they use the word "vegetative" to suggest that she is no longer even an animal, she is essentially dead or perhaps a plant, of less moral value than a goat. They dehumanize her in a sick analogy to the way "fetus" is used to dehumanize an unborn baby.
