Circumstances in a marriage change. There is a possibility that Terri would have revoked that right from him had she not been stricken before doing so. It has been said that Terri was going to leave him. Unfortunately, we don't all have the convenience of knowing when something terrible is going to happen to us.
It is not reasonable to me that the parents have absolutely NO say in what happens to their own daughter. A husband isn't given the right to murder a wife, abuse a wife, or anything else, just by virtue of marrying her.
Further, no one is going to tell me "it's not my place" if they are trying to what I percieve as, killing my child. NO ONE. It is my place.
No one said it did. This is silly hyperbole. He does have the right to speak for her when she is unable to do so herself.
It has been said that Terri was going to leave him.
Conjecture and rumor. She didn't leave him, or even begin legal proceedings to do so. If that were the case, I WOULD AGREE WITH YOU. She didn't. End of argument.
