Thank you so much for your reply and agreement!

IMHO, to make inroads with these politicians and courts we must put ourselves in their shoes. The current judicial procedure of dispensing death by civil proceedings is made at quite a distance from the actual act which they envision as passive, i.e. withhold food and water.

By coldly putting the politician or judge at the point of a death procedure, they become involved. If the court decision is death by lethal injection, it is not passive, it gets personal.

The ban on partial birth abortions was most effective because it put the politicians at the point of the procedure itself - to vote for it, they were effectively taking the scissor in their own hands and inserting it into the baby's skull.
