I believe in the right to life. What I do not believe in is twisting the Constitution to create bills to override state decisions. Madison was clear enough. The document and the limitations therein on the national government either mean something or they don't.

Then what do you do when the state is violating the state constitutional rights of its citizens as mentioned in the Fla constitution above?

And, even if one did not agree with the federal government taking action, surely one could still voice their outrage at the injustice to a disabled woman and the precedents that are set by this "law".

Whatever the disagreements over different parts of this case, we all have seen that now the state will require the death of one they judge to be in a particular medical situation (even with differences of opinion) and that no matter who wants to care for that patient, they will kill it.

And, do any of you think this is a "good thing"?

I just don't think the state/government has the right to tell me a relative has to die because of ..............
