You're operating under the assumption that Terri had the same Constitutional rights as the rest of us. Those who favor exterminating disabled people believe the only right a disabled person has is their murdering spouse's right to privacy.

Thanks for your post. Terri was denied any and all guarantees under the Constitution except the right to privacy which they granted so they could take her life with a guard at the door, a guard in the hall, police presence surrounding the hospice and the Sheriff's Dept. there to help the Pinellas Park PD. Then there was the FBI in plain clothes listening to Vigilers and there were the swat teams positioned with automatic weapons ready to shoot anybody who looked like they were going to jump the brick wall. There were the Wackenhut hired guns to surround the brick wall. I guess they ran out of real cops.

It wasn't my idea of the United States of America to insure that an innocent woman's life would be taken at all costs.
