Feeding tubes are removed from patients every day of the week, without living wills, btw.

If you don't like the laws, work to change them.

I'm sure they are.
All manner of evil goes on every second of every day.
One of the few legitimate purpose for government is to see to it
that evil deeds and evildoers are punished, not rewarded or protected.
You are right, we need to change the laws.

Our first job should be to get enough Godly Justices in there to reverse Roe v Wade.

You are again comparing apples with oranges. The feeding tubes that are being removed are coming out of the dying. Terri was not dying until they began this murderous process. She was still a living, breathing, heart-beating human being, beloved by her family, and hated by her husband (and apparently the courts).

Most feeding tubes are removed from people whose organs have failed and who realistically cannot actually process food from the tube anyway. Often, they leave them hooked up to ivs, because dehydration can be so painful.
