Fox News poll shows more than two to one against you.
So what?
A poll does not decide "right" from "wrong" - PARTICULARLY, when the "polling public" has been (deliberately) misinformed by the MSM and pro-abortion forces.
"Right" and "wrong" are absolutes.
This is the only poll I found on the FOX website. I used the word push poll because it assumed that Terri is in a PVS. Sorry, I cannot reformat from a .pdf file. It was taken long before this weekend's focus on her situation.

v35. Terri Schiavo has been in a so-called "persistent vegetative state" since 1990. Terri's husband says his wife would rather die than be kept alive artificially and wants her feeding tube removed.

Fox news dynamic polls are dramatically wrong at times. Remember the same poll showed kerry ahead days before the election.
I think it is a valid concern with these polls to consider if people wanted the federal government involved or did they HAVE to get involved because of the local court acctions.
The people I have spoken to suggest that giving mere access to federal courts is not wrong. The MSM is trying to spin this as a congress ordering something done. The only thing congress did was to give them access to the courts.
BTW NEW DNC TALKING POINT: No parent wants to burry their child.
