The only problem with asking Terri is that take me for instance. I don't have to tell anyone today or tomorrow if I want to be here. She shouldn't have to either. There were no WRITTEN DIRECTIVES. End of story.
Our right to life does not have to be expressed for the State. We live because we exist not because we need to tell the State that we are alive.

I agree, and it looks as if the state does as well:

It would be nice if someone would tell Floridians what was going on. THE QUOTE BY DANIEL WEBSTER made me sick. "The Court has come up with much better solutions than we have so far." Daniel Webster who we thought was for justice. By the way DANIEL WEBSTER'S PHONE LINE IS SWAMPED. I called to complain about his HORRID QUOTE. Did the death lobby wear him down???
