Evidence that when you can't effectively argue the merits of your case, you'll make ridiculous comments like that. It's a pity. Sad really.

The woman was NOT dying until her feeding tube was REMOVED!

This fact trumps all other arguments on either side. An innocent woman is being put to death by her husband in the name of the law. Doesn't this bother you?

Feeding tubes are removed hundreds of times a day in this country. And for people who don't have living wills.

This was discussed on the floor of the House. Over 70% of the people in this country don't have Living Wills. And yet families remove patients from life support and feeding tubes every day. It happens all the time in nursing homes, too.

A husband is exercising his state-law-given right to make life or death decisions about his incapacitated wife. Law isn't about bringing heaven on earth. People have free will to make the wrong decisions. We can't legislate wrong decisions away in a republic. God will judge Michael for his decision.
