Rush hit on a key point here.

Liberals claim that these issues, including abortion and right to die, etc., are a matter of privacy. Yet these same people want the taxpayers to fund these private things, like abortion and stem cell research. Great argument showing the hypocrisy of the other side.

I think we really have to reconsider these laws where the spouse decides who lives or dies. This could happen in many families.

Possibly we should protect people who need feeding tubes and can't speak for themselves. We are seeing that there is a huge difference between a dying person being let off the machines that breathe for them, and taking away a healthy disabled person's feeding and hydration. Should we allow feeding tubes to be removed, in nonterminal disabled people?

I agree. There are the types of arguments I was referring to in my earlier posts. I just Rush wouldn't sensationalize the issue with claims that Mr. Schiavo tried to poison his wife, Mrs. Schiavo can swallow on her own, etc.

The only liberal politician who is not being a hypocrate, based on his previous actions toward women, is the one who is true to his sadistic, criminal, and cowardly character:
Ted Kennedy, D, Massachusettes
Women he decided should be left to die:
