We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--

Would someone explain to me how upholding the Declaration of Independance by defending Terri's right to live is not conservative--even more important, American? Seems a number have been unsuccessfully trying to make that case today.

I have noticed the same thing -- if what I have seen on here today by some anti-life folks is conservative then count me out. The Declaration of Independence is the Foundation of this Nation and I always thought conservatives treasured that document. A lot of us do but it is obvious that States Rights now trump the Declaration of Independence in the minds of some.

None of them will simply because they cannot defend the indefensible.
You'll just have to face the fact that a good many Republicans favor Judge Greer's decision. These are the same people who also support abortion, gay 'rights', and revoking God and Christianity from all public locales, especially schools.
