Every once and a while the topic gets aired again and once again the misinformed, the swallowers of Kool Aid, those who cling to long worn and disproved mantras return as if it were a new subject and as if their ideas were brilliantly original. It is a reflection of the effect of leftist propaganda and the value of repeating lies so often the lightly informed swallow it as fact, absorbing it emotionally, rather than rationally. In this thread by wagglebee, the article is telling, the responses just once more bringing out the same dreary drivel playback of the left.

Michael is the widower of Theresa Marie Schindler “Terri” Schiavo, who died on March 31, 2005, after being judicially executed—as her husband wanted.
She had collapsed on February 25, 1990, having experienced a heart attack that caused respiratory and cardiac arrest, which resulted in extensive brain damage. She was diagnosed by several doctors to be in PVS—persistent vegetative state. She was placed in—and brought out of—several hospitals for 15 years.
In 1998, Michael, her husband and guardian, petitioned a Florida Court to remove her feeding tube. Robert and Mary Schindler, her parents, opposed the petition. They claimed that she was conscious and responded to their cooing and kissing. They saw her pucker her lips to kiss them back and could see that she was attempting to speak to them.
The court, placing itself in Terri’s place, ruled that if she could only speak she would tell everyone that she did not want to be kept alive. For seven years the legal controversy—between Michael and Terri’s parents—became an international affair. Politicians, expert doctors, pro-life and disabled-persons’ advocates debated with pro-euthanasia advocates, sometimes appearing on CNN, BBC and other globally shown TV programs.
Would you have petitioned the court to shut off her life-support system as Michael Schiavo did?
I wouldn’t..............
Would you do a Michael Schiavo to your wife?
