OK. Lanny Davis, Gov. Richardson, Ralph Nader, Joe Lieberman and Jesse Jackson Jr. are all on record saying that Terri should have been left on the feeding tube. Tom Harkin and the disability rights people are taking Randall Terry's side. I'm not sure how many of them support the fascist legislation passed by Congress or the fascist recommendation of the WSJ that Gov. Bush should use martial law to seize Terri's body.
Here's my question. What part of Brain Dead don't you understand?
The L.A. Times even has a Terri's brain graphic that includes the fact that people in a persistent vegetative state have lower brain wave activity than people in a coma!
Terri Schiavo is Brain Dead and her EEG is flatlined.

What part of brain dead do all of these people find confusing? Why don't the medical facts matter?
Are Democrats incapable of explaining that when somebody is brain dead, they are dead? This has never been a confusing moral issue before. The classic medical definition of death is brain death.
RU-486 can be banned because even before an embryo attaches to the mother's womb, the embryo has a right to life.
A mass of cells has more civil liberties than a pregnant woman.
Now a dead body has a right to life.
Republicans are the party of life. Democrats are the party of death.
Do these Democrats understand that they are providing aid and comfort to Tom DeLay and Newt Gingrich when they accuse "liberals" of murder?
Is it that they don't care or that they don't understand? Am I missing something? Is it compassionate to keep a corpse alive for thirty or forty years? Is that love?
I can see it coming now. Democrats will continue to let the line between life and death get blurred. President Bush is going to come out of this smelling like a rose. Republicans will be remembered as the party of life. Democrats will be the party that supports murder.
And a woman's right to control the medical decisions regarding her own body will be further undermined. An innocent life will soon have priority over a pregnant woman's life. That is exactly where this issue is headed.
