"Some of the ones arguing most fervently for her death are "Christians" and "conservatives.""
That's something else I just cannot understand. Most Christians and conservatives are anti-abortion and identify themselves as "pro-life". Yet they advocate the starvation and dehydration of Terri. I just don't get it. The life of an unborn child matters, but a full grown, mentally disabled woman's life does not??? I am soooo tired of hearing about the "cost" of caring for the disabled or the helpless elderly spewed forth by some of these people. Yes that is a real problem we have to finds solutions for, and soon. But to even consider murdering......uhhh, excuse me, putting them to sleep.....uhh, allowing them to die.... all because there is a cost involved in caring for them???? Some of the helpless elderly are our mothers and fathers, who cared for us faithfully when we were helpless infants. This is how society is planning on rewarding them???
Too many view unborn children as possibly making something of themselves one day whereas the disabled are of no use to society.....

I somewhat do not buy this...if any Christian really thinks this way, it is because they are believing the MSM and their misinformation and downright lies. The polls are skewed toward their liberal thinking so they can report and make us all think that Christians feel this way. Do not trust them. Everyone I talk to, including my parents who are in their late 60's think that President Bush should go in there and take Terri out, they are not concerned at all with the action congress took for Terri, and in fact suipport it. The MSM is lying. They are angry because of how we voted for the President and are afraid WE are taking over so now they are trying to turn the tide.
