Those who were against murdering Terri are willing to say: "The murder of Terri Schiavo was wrong and if the federal government can't guarantee the safety of its vulnerable citizens, then the vaunted claims of our political system are meaningless."

Those who supported murdering Terri say: "Well, I may or may not believe in starving Terri Schiavo to death, but if the government says it's OK, it's OK. Oh and by the way, those of you who disagree with the government-sanctioned murder of Terri are actually foes of limited government."

The first position is moral and internally consistent.

The second statement is amoral, in the purest sense of the term, and full of logical holes one could steer an aircraft carrier through. It is also fundamentally dishonest.

Try some new wording, using the phrase "following Terri's wishes" instead of "murdering". Then rework your logic.

No evidence was presented that implied murder. Much evidence was considered regarding Terri's wishes, however. Mrs. Schindler was caught flat out lying to the court regarding statements Terri made. No wonder the judge believed Schiavo.
