I certainly would. I've already let him know and other Republican leaders that it appears "they're looking at polls which don't look good. But Terris is emaciated."
How far will their excuses fly given that fact?
And this is not just about Terri (though we fight for her life); she is one of many Americans who will now have the "rule of law" and now, case law, on their side for their inhumane and barbaric execution.
The twenty-first century has dawned on a day in which “conservative” advocates of the “pro-life” movement have resigned themselves to the fact that abortion is “the law of the land” and must be enforced by government servants, that America “is not ready” to end abortion, and that their position is somehow different from “moderate”
liberals who personally find child murder distasteful and so wish to make it “affordable, safe, and rare”.
Let us not predict that the stentorian proclamations from the pen of Mr. Buckley added to the chorus of bloodthirsty compassionates lobbying for the accelerated demise of Mrs. Schiavo are the last or the ultimate outrage to be perpetrated by the treacherously fickle partisans of the un-right.
None would have thought thirty-five years ago that Catholics would be marching in the streets shrieking loudly that mothers should have government funding to murder their babies, that a Catholic bishop would apologize for not allowing a funeral Mass for a sodomite drug-user whose business was to provide a venue for sodomy and drug use under the guise of “entertainment”, or that another Catholic bishop would make repeated public statements that a right exists for family members to starve a “loved one” to death. It is dangerous to assume the worst is about to happen, and equally perilous to assume that the worst has already happened.
Hard experience demonstrates that men but loosely clinging to a sense of virtue, truth, and sanctity will eventually embrace thoroughly foul positions, astonishing in their repudiation of what had till then been considered absolute verities rejected by none but the depraved.
But, nicmarlo, it is none but the depraved with whom we are dealing here.
