I for one, don't understand the outrage about killing Terri. Millions of people are killed inside the womb, why complain if we kill them outside the womb? It's a double standard. Murder is murder, bottom line.

Well Jeff, some of us DO complain about killing innocent babies inside the womb. Perhaps you hadn't heard?
The outrage about Terri is because this is another leap down the slippery slope that we began sliding down with the legalization of abortion on demand. Many people can say "I'm personally against abortion, but I can't impose my views on someone else," because they do not realize that the culture of death can reach them, too. But with Terri's murder, it is very clear that killing for convenience can claim anyone's life. ANY of us might become helpless and be in Terri's position. Terri represents further devaluing of human life; if we can't stop this, now, before even more people are included on the "okay to terminate" list, there's no chance in the world of stopping the holocaust that has claimed so many of our children.
Terri's murder was COURT ORDERED. That is what outrages people. The US court ordered the killing -- via a brutal, barbaric, torturous method -- of a US citizen, who is totally innocent and there was no doubt of her innocence. Murderers get more consideration, stray animals get more consideration, than Terri got.
Judge Greer specifically ordered her to be given no food or water by any means, not even by mouth.
In case you haven't noticed, the pro-abortion people had no problem with killing Terri. However, we pro-lifers believe that unborn babies should not be murdered any more than Terri Schiavo should have been. Usually the biggest "double standard" only happens regarding the death penalty for CONVICTED CRIMINALS. Conservatives are generally pro-death penalty and liberals are in favor of letting murderers and rapists live to rape and kill again.
