This debate is surreal. It really is unfathomable that there are people arguing on the House floor that an innocent woman should be starved and dehydrated to death.

Completely surreal! It amazes me to see these people standing up there and arguing FOR the death of a disabled woman whose only "crime" is that she cannot communicate or feed herself (in a "normal" manner)!

If I hear one more person call a feeding tube "artificial life support" I am going to scream. There are thousands of people on feeding tubes who lead good and productive lives. They just are not able to swallow for whatever reason. Many people eventually regain their ability to swallow and the tubes are no longer needed. These death monger Democrats in the House are arguing that people on feeding tubes do not have the same right to life that "normal" people have and it makes me sick. Of course they would argue that this is not true, but it is the message that I am getting from them.

I think they're really fighting to keep families from being able to intervene in the end-state of terminal AIDS patients.

It's a Gay Rights issue now.
