The dismemberment of a defenseless human being living inside a womb with the intent to murder, and the intent to to inflect immeasurable, but not lethal, pain on a defenseless human being outside the womb, are both clear evidence of humanity's ethical and moral insanity.

In Florida, the state has been seeking to torture and murder a woman by depriving her of food and water for the past eleven years. Her name is Terri Schindler-Schiavo.
Intense public pressure from around the world brought Florida politicians from under their rocks, and forced the five Roman Catholic bishops to abandon their refusal to denounce this barbaric murder - sanctioned by the courts of Florida - both the politicians and the bishops now allege they are in Terri's corner. The bottom line is the Florida courts have not been stopped from murdering another defenseless human being.
In its march through time, mankind has yet to earn the title, 'civilized'.
