You are exactly right. When people really want to die, they die. You see it when one's spouse dies, you see it when one retires and feels useless...it happens all the time and I have witnessed it myself. This woman wants to live.
I'm a Democrat and was extremely relieved to see Jesse Jackson speaking out for Terri. This is not a political issue. This is about logic, common sense and decency.
This guy claims his wife made some flippant comment (after seeing a movie) and he's basing all of his actions on that. He refuses to divorce her, yet has started a family with another woman. (Ummm, sorry, but if I'm in love, I'm NOT leaving my spouse's side to get a cheeseburger, let alone start another family!)
AND he has dragged the parents of the woman he supposedly loves through the court system for a decade, refusing to bend for them at all. Honestly - and now he wants to cremate her, which is against her religion. This guy is going to have a very special, cozy place in Hell.
Welcome. Some issues do transcend party.
Democrats with solid morals are at home with Conservatives, and vice-versa.
This is not a party-line issue; I suspect that there will be some political "tune-changing" going on in both parties after this is over.
Welcome aboard. There are some FReeper's here who will jump on your ****, but rest assured, a good many of us are with you on this fight to save an innocent woman. All I'd say is pray if it's within you to do so. It can help. Again, welcome aboard, glad to have you.
