Since when does the court have jurisdiction over human life? Oh, I forgot. Abortion. This is the same thing and if you look at all the facts it stinks to high heaven. No matter how you slice it, dice it, mince it, chop it, or sautee it. It stinks like three day old fish.

It would've been simpler to for Michael Schiavo to walk away. After all, he's already begun another life with another woman and kids. So why even continue this destructive course? Terri's wishes are pure conjecture and you know it. It's the same as abortion. The mother says yes, but the baby says no. And yet is has no voice.

Once again, we're back to activists courts determining the value of life no matter how you slice it, dice it, mince it, chop it or sautee it. It's that simple. Murder by the Schiavo and the courts.

No, it's not. This is an adult whose life was taken from her by a tragic heart attack that deprived her of oxygen and caused her brain to die. She had told several people (husband, brother-in-law, sister-in-law) that (like most of us) she didn't want to be maintained artificially.

It would've been simpler to for Michael Schiavo to walk away.

And let her parents keep pumping 'food' into her stomach and into her diapers for another 15 years. For what? So they can delude themselves that the hollow shell in the nursing home is somehow related to their daughter?

Terri's wishes are pure conjecture

No, they're not. I'm telling you my wishes right now here about my desire not to be force fed and diapered. Are my wishes 'conjecture' because you don't agree with my right to go home to Jesus in such a situation? Typical liberal response: your views count and hers are 'conjecture.'

It's the same as abortion. The mother says yes, but the baby says no. And yet is has no voice.

No, it's not. I oppose abortion on demand for the reasons you outline. But here Terri wanted to be protected from precisely the circumstances to which she has been subjected for the last 15 years. She had a voice, but the moment it was stilled by a heart attack, the politics of 'physical-life-at-any-cost' was imposed by those (to use Paul's great phrase) 'who have no hope.' 15 years of force feeding and diapering is long enough. Do you still think she needs more 'softening up' to meet your political agenda?
