As someone who's family died at Dachau I am really beginning to resent the comparison. I cannot believe that anyone would use the image of what occurred under Hitler as the treatment Terri is receiving. PLEASE.
Why ask, my request will go unheard.
FMC.....see my post #68.....some here really need to brush up on our military history....to compare this to Nazi Germany is emotional ranting bordering on hysteria....seems like those victims didn't have a day in court and the vile and tyrannical SS and Gestapo make this issue look like a Sunday School picnic......keep posting....we know your true intentions are honorable though some here have huge emotional blinders on
I agree that the comparison to the Holocaust are so meaningless as to demean the Holocaust itself. Something that must never happen.
As to the pro lifers who have gathered there, their cause is a just one but they have harmed the movement considerably.
Positions have been softening on abortion, in no small part due to technology which permits people to actually see the unborn put their hands over their ears when the doctors clap their hands near the mother's tummy.
But people are very angry that their loved ones in that hospice haven't been able to be taken out in wheelchairs around the grounds, can't sleep because of the bullhorns.
Randall Terry is not a compassionate face to put on this movement and he has harmed it with his tactics and ugly, hate filled rhetoric.
Whether one thinks that Terri is PVS or not, and should have the feeding tube removed or not, there are other people involved and whose lives are equally important in that hospice. And to set back the pro life movement is going to deny life to those who I think the movement was actually making an impact on...the moderates, pro abortion crowd and even some democrats.
I'm very sorry your family died at Dachau. And I am even sorrier there was no one there to protest it or stop it. In Germany it was a non-issue. But Dachau is not as unique as you would like to think of it. And putting it behind thicker paperwork does not change the ultimate outcome. Without visible protest this issue would become a non-issue too.
#58 Why ask, my request will go unheard.
I hear. But it is to easy to get from here to there...once the first step is taken, the rest follow.
