I know of a number of persons on the left who also were horrified by what was done to Terri. Can you imagine the uproar if subhumans such as the Carr brothers (BTW, their death sentences were reversed by a judge) were killed like Terri?
Darn right, and they spoke up with courage at the time. Quite an impressive list on the left -- Hentoff, Ralph Nader, Jesse Jackson, Senator Tom Harkin (but he also had a hand in sabotaging the Congressional bill to give Terri access to federal courts), Elizabeth Edwards (bless her heart), and others, I forget. Alan Derschowitz and Gloria Allred, probably the top two attorneys on that side of the aisle, both ventured far enough to say that killing Terri was wrong if she could feel pain -- which, of course, she could; that was in her med records for 15 years.
Kinda gives you pause. Terri was supported by a coalition of top names of left and right, all of the disability groups, the Pope, the President and both houses of Congress. How in the heck did the other side muster the forces to kill her? Who WAS the other side?
The demons are loose somewhere.
