Ex-Supreme Court Justice O’Connor Bashes Pro-Life Advocates
Former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor used a speech at Georgetown University to attack pro-life lawmakers who sided with Terri Schiavo’s parents in their efforts to prevent their daughter’s euthanasia death. She claimed a Congressional effort to have federal courts review the case was a first step towards a dictatorship.
“We must be ever-vigilant against those who would strong-arm the judiciary in an effort to interfere in ‘end-of-life’ decisions,” said O’Connor. “It is the Court’s obligation to protect the right to terminate life unworthy of life. Those who would impede the corurts in this matter are pushing the country down toward dictatorship.”
In related news, Americans have proved extremely consistent in their inconsistent beliefs about abortion. A solid majority feel that Roe v. Wade should be upheld. Most think having an abortion should be a personal choice. But they also think it is murder.
“I mean, it’s not as if they’re murdering a stranger,” said National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League (NARAL) spokeswoman Etta Young in an effort to explain the inconsistency. “People feel families should have the privacy to decide whether to terminate unwanted members.”

The Allies hanged Germans with that world view.
Wow, now that’s an incredible statement: “People feel families should have the privacy to decide whether to terminate unwanted members.”
Is that what our nation has become (at least in the eyes of some)? My life is not protected by the constitution, but by the majority vote of my family?
