...governements protection of TS ...

But you're falling for the Big Lie. It was the anti-Greer crowd who were looking to deny Mrs. Schiavo her rights. Recall that the Schindlers and DeLay and others were pointing out that they'd want to keep Mrs. Schiavo's body going even if it were in writing that she didn't want it!

This is a clear case of a lack of respect for Mrs. Schiavo, and for her husband and their marriage. The Left has successfully instigated religious fanatics to shoot themselves in the foot, strengthening Roe, and making them look like hypocrites. :-(

Absent clear proof that she wanted to die by starvation I'm comfortable that the government failed to protect her right to live.

If there was a written will stating that then they would have no ground to stand on.

I disagree. I see the (two branches of) government respected her right to live absent proof that she wanted to be starved to death. Mr. Schiavo was shown ample respect for his rights all the way beyond her execution by starvation. And as far as lack of respect for their marriage I find it hypocritical to call it a marriage when MS had two children and a common-law wife.

Define "religious fanatics". Show me how they have shot themselves in the foot. Show me how this case has strengthend Roe. I don't think I need to know how you view them as hypocrites.
