I would have agreed with you. I would have thought the issue would stir feelings in the disabled, as well as mothers.

But I have MS and read a couple well known MS forum boards.

You would think that the majority of people with disabilities, like MS, and possibly facing a feeding tube at some point would support the right for Terri to live, but that is not what I've found.

What happens more often is that people put themselves in Terri's place and say they would not want to live that way and therefore, sanction the removing of the feeding tube.

There are a few that stand up for "life", but not many.

Of course, these are people that have Living Wills, and Health Care Surrogate papers drawn up and are ready if the "worst case scenario" should happen.

Judging by the amount of people at the Hospice in Pinellas Park, it seems the "outrage" of conservatives is poured out on the internet and not in real life.

Well one can imagine this outrage can manifest itself in the election cycle if Terri's memory lives on.
