I do. Terri was conscious while she was starved and dehydrated to death, this was unimaginably inhumane and it drew on for weeks. So yes, I think it is very similar to partially delivering a baby in order to murder it.

I don't because I'd prefer to be starved than live like that. That's quite different from killing a baby simply because you don't want your own baby. However I tend to think that the women that get abortions are not exactly nice women. That's as euphemistic as I can get.

A great many people would not want to live the way that Terri was; however, Terri didn't get to make that decision. Terri was very possibly in her condition as the result of domestic violence on the part of her husband and he didn't "remember" anything about her "wanting to die" until years after the fact (around the same time he started a new family and fathered children out of wedlock and also when he figured out that he would be much better off financially with her dead) and NONE OF HER FRIENDS OR RELATIVES ever remembered her saying anything like this. And even if Terri had made such a remark, the reality is that most people who say they don't want to be kept alive are talking about extraordinary life support measures like ventilators, feeding tubes have been used for hundreds of years (granted, early on the doctors had no way to deal with infections that developed).

The unfortunate reality is that these women have been convinced by the left that selfishness is their right.

- Don't like your breasts? Get new ones.

- Don't like your husband? Get a divorce.

- Don't like the mole on your cheek? Get it removed.

- Don't want to have the baby you're carrying? Kill it.

Once you tell people that they can do whatever they want, it becomes a very slippery slope.
