As Martin Katz (who happened to be Jewish) wrote in the The American Thinker (not a RR right publication) regarding the Terri Schiavo case:

". . . We, as a society, the government and the people of the United States of America, have not managed, for whatever reasons, to permit a mother, deluded or not, to put water onto the lips of her dying child, brain dead or not. . . .

"We have wounded our national character. By our actions, or inactions, we have placed ourselves one notch less, above the Nazis. . . .

"We, as a people, have so shamed ourselves, that we cannot look Mary Schindler . . . in the eye, and give her one good reason why WE did not allow her to give water to her dying child."

Perhaps Mr. Katz needs to go back and reread the Constitution. The government and people of these United States had no business in the issue. This was purely a state issue. I wonder if he is as upset that the Republicans continued their destructive path against federalism.

"We have wounded our national character. By our actions, or inactions, we have placed ourselves one notch less, above the Nazis. . . .

Nice hyperbole. I wonder if Mr. Katz will determine the same thing when the final autopsy is released that shows Mrs. Schiavo no longer had the mental capacities that so many (at least around here) claim

Exactly. To see how cold we are as a nation, this fact is totally ignored by the anti-Terri crowd.

Guess they do not care that the state and doctors decide when their child has to be killed. All the while saying uphold the law because the law is always right.

There was nothing right, pure, about how Mrs. Schlinder was treated, how Terri was forced to die without the comfort of her parents with her.

Good for Martin Katz. Don't know much else about him.
