Terri Schiavo

[ziggytrix]

That's not entirely fair, FS. While I am simultaneously sickened and fascinated by the spectacle this has turned into, it was Mr. Schiavo who turned this over to the courts and brought the government into his family's affair (see last post).

If we're going to ditch the euthanasia debate then I wanna address this:

What the fuck in hell do you think is the point of appealing a case to the federal courts? What's sad is that were this an abortion case, or a gay marriage case, you guys would be all for this.

If Congress had an emergency session to force a women who wanted an abortion, in a state where abortion is legal, to delay the abortion til a Federal Court could hear it because her parents wanted her to keep the baby, I'd be pretty appalled. If Congress had an emergency session to keep two gay people from getting married I'd just be baffled.
