Nobody gets it. This is more than just what the family wants or what the spouse wants.
"Michael Schiavo—the husband of Terry, who is also her court-appointed guardian—claims that Terry, when competent, indicated that she would never wish to be kept alive in a situation such as the one in which she presently finds herself. In other words, the husband claims that Terry, like many people who give the issue a passing thought, made a statement such as, “if I were ever a vegetable, just let me die.”
Furthermore, the law passed to allow Terri to live and let this become a national issue is clearly unconstitutional and just recently the courts struck it down. So what we have here is a jack-booted fascist(Jeb Bush) creating an unconstitutional law to take the heat off of his friends before the ethics board, drum up support in the frothing-at-the-mouth fundamentalist base and make liberals and moderates look like viscous monsters.
Furthermore, the Florida court ruled that as the legal guardian of Terri he could have the tube removed. And who is bitching about that decision of the state? Thats right, the Republicans who control every branch of the federal government. So, to the dominant political party, the one that always whines about states right, states rights only apply when there isn't a nice big juicy issue on the table. What a load of bs. The right-to lifers, who are pro-war and pro-death penalty are once again displaying their unsurpassed hypocrisy.
