I believe the horrific facts of this murder will not fade away from the thoughts of rational people, religious or not.
The long range impact will hopefully be to make some positive changes to the entire legal system which, since WWII, is the primary reason our common hereitage is being destroyed.
You're right. Too many facts about this case are out in the public this time. It took years for the public to learn that Roe v. Wade was based on a lie-- there was no rape..even now, the majority of the public don't know that "Jane Roe" has recanted her testimony and is working hard to overturn the travesty associated with her name.
This time, we know the real person,we know her name, Terri's family has touched us with their pleas. We will never forget a mother, father, brother & sister begging to give their little girl a sip of water while being forced to watch her die of thirst.
