Martin Katz on Terri Schiavo

The essence of the Terri Schiavo case is simple, all ink and hot air to the contrary. We, as a society, the government and 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.

Everything else, every legal, moral, theological, constitutional, or philosophical argument, is a sideshow, diverting attention from the essential issue of this case.

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, Terri Schiavo's mother, in the eye, and give her one good reason why WE did not allow her to give water to her dying child.

How we came to this shameful point in our national existence is a question that demands examination, and rectification. For our sake.

For Mary Schindler, and her severely impaired child, Terri Schiavo, it is too late. We did not find it in our collective hearts and souls, in our actions, to have mercy on them.

May We, and G_d, forgive us.

(Terri's 'crime' was being disabled & voiceless)

And she wasn't dying in the first place, until the legal system got through with her. That is what I would add...

I called Martinez's office last week and his staffer denied that Martinez said anything that appeared in quotes in the media. The staffer said that Martinez's position was the same and had not changed.

He won't get re-elected. He's a flip flopper like Kerry. "I voted for Terri before I voted against her."
