It's frightening how eager some people are for this woman to die.

Thats not it at all.

The problem some have, myself included, is not the outcome, it the process. The idea of the federal government stripping state powers and following the "will of the people" goes against conservative principles in two very key ways.

1 - Federal vs. States rights
2 - We are a Republic, not a Democracy. The "will of the people" is notoriously inconsistent and tends to result in the rights of the minority suffering under the desires of the majority. The Republican form of government is specifically designed to act as a buffer against mob rule.
