The difference in my opinion, if nature is allowed to run its course without human interference, in most instances, the fetus will be born. Terri Schiavo would have, without human interference, been dead a long time before they pulled the plug, if there had been no plug. Two completely seperate issues in my book. Preventing the natural process of life vs. prolonging the natural process of death. In the Schiavo case, who has legal authority to make that decision would be a different topic all together.
I don't want to get side tracked either, but I must point out that there was no plug to pull. She was on a feeding tube. The tube was taken away and she was denied water or substance. We allowed a woman to be starved to death, and the whole country got to watch. There are tens of thousands of people walking around today that once were on a feeding tubes. Her mother and father were willing to take care of her. They were denied that right. The Schiavo case is a black mark in our countries history. For me it is anyway.
I'm not getting into this again, but in fact, he was not an ex-husband. He was her husband and the closest relative. The courts ruled many times on this and never once considered otherwise.
Also, to address the statement made earlier that women don't use abortion as a form of birth control. Every single woman that I know, that has had an abortion, did it because they did not want to be pregant and did not want a baby. Most of the ones I know have done it more than once. Their line of thinking is that it is a quick fix to a temporary problem. I do not know a single woman that has had an abortion to save her life. I sure there have been many, I just don't know any. I would be willing to bet that over 90% of abortions are carried out just because the mother didn't plan on getting pregnant and doesn't want the responsibility of having a child. Over 90%. I would call that a form of birth control.
It's all about definitions, ain't it? There is no consensus to be found on this issue and the electorate is very divided. This is an issue that needs a compromise, not more contention. Roe v. Wade will never please everybody, but it has been an effective compromise for decades. I think inertia will keep it in place for a while yet.
He was her husband that was living with another woman. You know, as well as I do, that he didn't give a **** about Terry, and only wanted to be free from her. He turned his back on his wife and broke his voes. He wanted her gone so that he could remarry. He did not love her, however, her parents did. He gained from her death. Her parents lost a daughter. If it had been my daughter, I would have killed the SOB. And, while I rotted in prison, my wife could take care of our daughter.
