I presume that the religious right that is demonstrating to save Terri Schiavo’s life is also against war, and the death penalty. I presume that when they say they value life that they mean that they are willing to provide health care to those already born into poverty or who are in this country illegally. I also presume that their compassion and tenacity in this case would be applied to a minority AIDS patient.


"The case is full of great ironies. A large part of Terri's hospice costs are paid by Medicaid, a program that the administration and conservatives in Congress would sharply reduce. Some of her other expenses have been covered by the million-dollar proceeds of a malpractice suit - the kind of suit that President Bush has fought to scale back."

Also, catch this editorial cartoon; it probably says it all.
