As far as I can tell, every side in this argument has holes in their position.
As for the video footage, not all of it, or maybe none of it, is current. It reminds me of the huge argument on LBO a while back, reproductive rights versus the inclination of some pregnant women to discontinue pregnancy because the the expectation was that the child would be disabled or not 'normal' in some other respect. As everybody knows, in Third World countries and who knows where else, some pregnancies are discontinued because the fetus is female. It doesn't pay for anybody to get too self-righteous about this, IMO. mbs -----Original Message----- From: PEN-L list [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of adrienne lauby Sent: Friday, March 25, 2005 11:13 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [PEN-L] Bush/Schiavo irony This action by the right is a dangerous governmental precedent. This can become an important wedge issue against the Administration and the religious right on many levels, because the right wing supreme court didn't take up the call from the right wing congress.
