There may be a split amongst conservatives over whether congressional action to allow a federal court to have jurisdiction over the Terri Schiavo case represents a proper defense of a citizen's right to life or an abandonment of the conservative principle of state's rights in favor of grandstanding, but ABC's World News Tonight on Friday approached the subject purely from the left, attributing nefarious and illegitimate motives to conservatives without any mention of how virtually no Democrats had risen in opposition. "We're going to begin tonight with the extraordinary last-minute attempt by members of the Congress to interfere, or to...

The right to live, or more specifically, the right not to be killed, is a fundamental right. And it's a right recognized in our founding document, the Declaration of Independence. So ingrained in our society is the notion of life, that the 8th Amendment prohibits "cruel and usual punishment" (even short of death) and the 14th Amendment prohibits states from depriving any person of life without due process of law. This has nothing to do with federalism, unless you ignore the 8th and 14th Amendments. (Unlike the Left, that contorts the 14th Amendment, I'm recognizing its literal meaning.) What really...

You thought the modern DNC leadership just disrespected life in the womb. Now you have a chance to see these gutless wonders in real action as an innocent defenseless woman’s life hangs in the balance. Too bad Terri Schiavo isn’t a California seal, or a blue sperm whale. If she was, every tree hugging, bleeding heart liberal in the country would be lining up as a human shield to protect her right to life including Hillary Clinton, Barbara Boxer and good old Uncle Teddy. As it is, they are silent because Terri is just a useless human being who has...

Terri Schiavo and the soul of America By Lisa Fabrizio © 2005 WorldNetDaily.com It is often said by abortion supporters that a fetus is not a baby until it can survive independently outside the mother's womb. This is, of course, a specious argument since this "survival" is not possible without the care and nourishment of others, either pre or post birth. This is true not only of infants and children, but of the sick, disabled and elderly as well. But if certain right-to-death groups get their way this week, you can add Terri Schiavo's name to the growing list of...

Federal Intervention in Schiavo Case Prompts Broad Public Disapproval Analysis by GARY LANGER Mar. 21, 2005 - Americans broadly and strongly disapprove of federal intervention in the Terri Schiavo case, with sizable majorities saying Congress is overstepping its bounds for political gain. The public, by 63 percent-28 percent, supports the removal of Schiavo's feeding tube, and by a 25-point margin opposes a law mandating federal review of her case. Congress passed such legislation and President Bush signed it early today. That legislative action is distinctly unpopular: Not only do 60 percent oppose it, more -- 70 percent -- call...

. NEVER FORGET TERRI can breath unassisted. TERRI can eat food thru her mouth, food that MICHAEL has been stopping her from having for years. TERRI can SPEAK. TERRI is NOT the Living Dead. TERRI is capable of being re-hab'ed. TERRI rehabilitation that her "Husband" MICHAEL has been preventing for years as he continues to make babies with his lover. The Pittsburgh Post Gazette quotes one of TERRI's nurses saying in a Court Affidavid that: "TERRI spoke on a regular basis, sayng such things as 'Mommy' and 'help me.'" When she put a washcloth in TERRI's hand to keep her...
