Santorum awesome on Terry Schievo.
“Respect and dignity for all human life”
“Would do it again.”
Gingrich had a nice answer as well. He’s quick with a nice comparison to fed appeals and death row.
Santorum was there for her death and the family was grateful but I believe that Rick and other GOP politicians passed meaningless symbolic legislation in DC that did nothing to save Terri’s life.
The GOP political machine including the National Right To Life Committee weren’t ready to risk political capital to intervene in her case with real action.
For a lesson from history, JFK sent federal marshals, prison guards and border agents to protect civil rights protestors in Montgomery, Alabama in May of 1961.
A mob was attacking a church they were in and the federal force held them off barely. JFK was ready to send in federal troops to save the lives of the civil rights protestors but then the governor of Alabama took action declaring martial law and sending in the National Guard to get the mob to back off.
That should have been the model for Jeb Bush and George W. Bush in dealing with saving Terri’s life.
