If you find yourself feeling that, perhaps, those folk protesting against the removal of Terry Schiavo's feeding tube might possibly actually be decent human beings acting out of a legitimate moral concern, you ought to stop. Among other things, some of these protestors have been telling reporters about just how much they'd like to kill Schiavo's husband, Michael, and the judge who ruled in his favour.
Miles to the south, demonstrators outside the hospice in Pinellas Park were accusing Greer of "judicial murder." A woman paced in front of the cameras carrying a sign that said "Stop feeding Michael."...
Next to Fayette, workers loudly pounded a metal post into the ground to brace more fencing to keep demonstrators off the streets. "That's what I'd like to do to Judge Greer," Helen Gentry, 62, said as metal clanged against metal.
In the press release cited here, Tom Delay is flat-out lying about Schiavo's condition. Large portions of her brain simply aren't there any longer, having been replaced by fluid. Terry Schiavo, as a human being, is dead. What remains is an empty husk. Claiming otherwise is deeply amoral, and deserves to be condemned as such.
Do the rightist so-called "pro-life" agitators have any real regard for human life whatsoever?
As they say in the blogosphere, "Heh. Indeed."
