THE WASHINGTON TIMES

As in most culture war issues, the battle over Terri Schiavo's life has attracted an outpouring from an army of traditional values, pro-life, conservative and religious groups. But there is virtual silence from many of their usual adversaries: The National Organization for Women, NARAL Pro-Choice America and other major pro-choice and feminist groups don't mention the brain-damaged Florida woman on their Web sites. Neither does Americans United for Separation of Church and State, the National Council of Churches or the National Coalition for Domestic Violence (NCDV), even though these groups often lock horns with some of the organizations defending Mrs. Schiavo's right to life. Click to learn more... In Congress, some Democrats have been outspoken on the issue. "There is no bedroom safe in America. There is no hospital room safe," said Democratic Rep. David Wu, of Oregon, which has a right-to-die law.

Liberals ARE for euthanasia. They just don't want people to think they are. As the old saying goes, don't judge them by their silence here. Judge them by THEIR actions. It speaks volumes about where they REALLY stand on matters of life and death.

Stepping up for Michael Schiavo, who supported removing his wife's feeding tube, is the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).

What would the ACLU say if Florida changed it's law so that instead of executing murderers by lethal injection, they were to be strapped to a gurney and denied food and water until dead. Do you think that they might argue dying of starvation and dehydration is cruel and unusual? Hmmmm.....

Once upon a time, feminists stood up for the right of women not to be considered their husbands' chattel, but to be considered persons in their own right. I guess that's all passé now.

Not all lives, even female lives, are created equal.

Not to them.

Bullseye. It's all inbred political powerplay now with leftist groups. They pulled the tubes on their core principles long ago for money, power and elitism.

My fear is that America will be judged, and denied blessings, when the 'will of the people' is to watch Terri starve to death.
