I'll abide by the FR Moderator's opinion.

Thank you.

Good idea.

Done.

Thanks.

The charges against Bush are really unfair. Why don't you and the others criticizing him go break the law yourselves in an effort to save her. You pay the price.

If I thought it were doable I'd be for breaking the law to save her. The right to life is an inalienable right. But we cannot realistically expect to pit branches and divisions of government and segements of society against one another in an effort to save one person. Who else will be hurt in the process? And even if Jeb were to take Terri by force, what then? It would just return to the same struggle.... and the courts would rule in the same way.... and here we would be all over again, only without a wonderful Governor willing to stick his neck out for us. It just doesn't make sense. This is way beyond civil disobedience. We need to keep in mind that Terri is representative of many others. Let's work to save the rest of them in Terri's name. That means our allies need to survive to fight another day. As tragic as it is, sometimes you have to lose a battle or two before you can win the war.

I don't mean to lessen the value of her life. Just the opposite. Let's see that her sacrifice counts for something by redirecting our efforts and seeing to it that this never happens again. That's the best way we can honor her at this point.

Thanks for posting this -- printing out to read.
