Fred is correct. though the Schiavo case muddies the waters on this matter
I was on the parents side, and I prayed that the State of Florida, and the judicial system of Florida would spare her life. But I said it was a State problem that the Federal government had no place in, but I got called some of the worst names in the book here. Death Monger is probably one of the most benign.
In fact if I have time later this weekend, I will pull some of those posts up, and see if any Fred supporters have changed their tune.
I must say, that there were a few Terri supporters that understood my point but just honestly disagreed.
