2 amazing pieces on Terri Schiavo in some surprising places
First, read Nat Hentoff's superb column in the "Right Wing Christian" Village Voice:
Terri Schiavo: Judicial Murder
Then, check out Joe Ford 's autobiographically-influenced editorial in the Harvard Crimson (Harvard's the bastion of Conservatism, don't ya know!):
FOCUS: Bigotry and the Murder of Terri Schiavo
Not only is Terri's case not dividing the GOP, but it's uniting Americans of all political persuasions to pump up the volume on Terri's murder by judicial decree.
Good for them!
We need everyone to join together to fight this Evil of embracing death for the Left's love of "Million Dollar Baby"-type ethically bankrupt policy!
And even the Rev. Jesse Jackson has stood up for Terri, going down to Florida to pray with Terri's parents, the first really good and true thing he's done for a long time.
Good for him, too.
But for the real deal, scoot over to Judith Kesher's blog where her friend Becki Snow is live blogging from the protest in front of Terri's hospice:
Kesher Talk
Becki has apparently been going without food and water as long as Terri has in sympathy with her;
you've got to read it for your own self, but needless to say, Becki's still waiting for the "euphoria" the pro-deathers talked about that supposedly comes when you thirst and starve to death.
As a matter of fact, it seems poor Becki (poor Terri!) is in quite a bit of pain.
Whatta surprise.
As shoshanna comments on Judith's post regarding Terri's ordeal, for someone who supposedly said she "didn't want to live like this," Terri is certainly putting up quite a fight to live.
God be with her and the Schindlers.
