It's like the staunch anti-abortion rhetoric that's out there. They don't show pictures of the babies that are actually born. It's always dead fetuses from after an abortion and go after the so-called "pro-abortionists" (a piece-of-crap label) and say, "Look what you're doing!"<BR/><BR/>Same logic. Only substitute a dead fetus for a 41-year-old woman who's been, in a sense, dead since 1990. Now they're saying, "Look what you pro-euthanasia people have done." Terri's now their martyr.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11250715.post-1112391717518455782005-04-01T16:41:00.000-05:002005-04-01T16:41:00.000-05:00Hello, i am just a visitor.

You can't trust a politician, we all know that.
