I hope the appeal to the SC is written to address the spirit and letter of the law just passed. I don't put any hopes in either the SC or the state of Florida.
The level of corruption and collusion occurring in the state of Florida is breathtaking. That an even number of people support it as those who oppose it is disturbing and sad.
The goal to prevent the starvation and dehydration of a disabled woman by her adulterous husband shouldn't even be debated in the United States. But here we are, in our 'enlightened' and 'progressive' society watching Terri being slowly tortured and killed.
It almost sounds facetious and blasphemous, but where would we be in removing MS as guardian had he put a pair of panties on Terri's head instead of removing her feeding tube?
Yeah. I do too. But, so far, judges have not been able to shake their rigid belief in "procedure," no matter life and death and right and wrong and Congressional declarations. It's maddening.
I'm surprised at the number of people who are supporting this death sentence as well but I can't say that I'm shocked. Many, of course, feel this way because they do not know all of the circumstances but I fear that many would stay firm in their belief even if they knew the circumstances.
This type of thinking is our reward for allowing abortions to occur freely and our removal of God from all of our institutions.
Others can decry their fears about "totlitarian government," but I fear the casual murder of the most helpless among us even more. Scary as well is that food and water is now legally defined as "life by artificial means."
God help us.
