[QUOTE="Zoomerz, post: 22162, member: 390"] [b]Re: Bedtime for Democracy[/b] Jedi; There are 2 issues involved here: 1. Whether or not Terri Schiavo's husband (or anyone other than she herself) has the right to make a life-choice for her. 2. Whether or not the federal government has the right to set precedent and intervene in the decision. On the first, since there is no living will in existence, and the wishes of Terri cannot be known, you are correct, there is a moral issue involved. I happen to be pro-life, and believe in the absence of knowing her wishes, we must err on the side of life. (MHO) As for the second issue, I beg to differ with you. It is not a moral issue at all. It is a legal one in which the MORAL aspect in #1 should NOT be considered at all. It is the jurisdiction of the state, not the federal government. The damage done here by their involvement far outweighs ANY single incident, regardless of the moral "correctness" or "incorrectness". Consider this; Our southern borders are overrun EVERY DAY by illegal immigrants. Our people are grossly overtaxed, and the deficit is growing at an alarming rate. As Paul outlines, the seperation of governmental powers is quickly polarizing from 3 branches to 1, and our grandchildren will be paying for the deficits we are incurring today. All of the above, and the congress reconvenes from break OVERNIGHT to address the Schaivo situation? This is pure POLITICS, and bs, not policy and prudent government. I wholly support Terri Schaivo's right to live on moral principle, BUT, the federal government is grossly out-of-bounds on this, and should back out entirely. MHO Z- [/QUOTE]
