Abortion is LEGAL too, doesn't make it RIGHT.
Why is that so hard to understand?? :*(

Her husband, no matter what we think of him, was LEGALLY her next of kin.

If Terri had been under the care of an honest guardianship judge, the conflicts between the interests of the husband-in-name-only guardian and his ward would have been sufficiently obvious and apparent to disqualify Mr. Schiavo's continued guardianship. An honest guardian would have sought, and received, a divorce on Terri's behalf (is any divorce court judge going to deny a divorce to a woman who's husband has sired two children by another women and pledged to marry her?)

"Her husband, no matter what we think of him, was LEGALLY her next of kin."

So, do you think that every person has the right to kill their legal next-of-kin? (I know you don't. But I'm looking to understand your position: what DO you think a next of kin has the right to do for or to their relatives?)
