Woo who? They sure don't woo us.

Tales from the dark side, from the enemy camp, from the worshipers of death, show once again, they can't shake Terri's Legacy. Even if we didn't remind, the leftists do it so often.

But what should really put the anti-choice community on the radar of the skeptical community is their hostility to science and their affection for anti-scientific claims. Anti-choicers make outlandish claims about the brain activity and feelings of embryos and fetuses, claims that could potentially affect a woman who obtained an abortion and believed lies about what happened later. They make deeply unscientific claims about how hormonal contraception causes abortion in order to give cover to a larger anti-contraception agenda. They make claims about how condoms don't work in an effort to dissuade people from using this potentially life-saving prevention device. And let's not get into the unscientific, woo-esque claims made about how Terri Schiavo could have a miraculous recovery.

The Woo Factor

The deathbots love to tell us that Terri was "brain dead" (often expressed in very unflattering terms). But then at the same time, they claim that she "wanted" to be released from her pain and misery. As she was being murdered, they had the gall to tell us that she was actually "euphoric" as a result of having every cell in her body screaming out for hydration.

What no deathbot has EVER been able to answer is HOW, if Terri's brain injuries were as advanced as they claimed, did she experience pain, anguish and euphoria? If the brain injury was that advanced than these feelings would be IMPOSSIBLE and, by the same token, if she WAS able to experience these things, it is axiomatic that the extent of her brain injury was nowhere near as significant as they believed.

They can't have it both ways.

Three years ago today...

Pat Mahoney and his group left the Pinellas Park vigil to try to get something done in Tallahassee and Washington DC, but the fix was in and time was running out. I would have copied more of the article, but we can only excerpt from this site.

................................

TALLAHASSEE, Florida (CNN) -- With their court battles apparently exhausted, supporters of Terri Schiavo's parents said Sunday that they would take their efforts to Washington on Monday.

Demonstrators on both sides of the debate shout and hold signs outside the hospice Sunday.

The Rev. Patrick Mahoney, a conservative Christian activist who has become a prominent figure in the protests over Schiavo's case, said he will go to Washington to plead with congressional leaders and the Bush administration to enforce a subpoena issued March 18 by a House committee for the 41-year-old woman to appear before Congress.............

Backers of Schiavo's parents head to Washington
