How bout right to my own decision?

Ugh. Ugh. Ugh. That's what I have to say so far about the whole terri Schaivo thing. The government's decision to intercede here is in blatant disregard to personal matters (not to mention the 19 state court decisions in FL), but yes it DOES set a goddamn scary precendent.
RTL dolts pretend this doesn't involve political maneuvering, but if you believe that, I have some bridges to sell you.
How's this for an interesting followup precedent...
Young couple gets pregnant. The woman is unsure of having the baby in their current life situation (let's throw in that she works at McDonalds for good measure, and he's unemployed). Now, Man gets into a car accident and instantly dies. Woman decides only option is to get an abortion, as she doesn't want to raise a child without a father on meager means. She's just not ready to cope. Swoosh! In come the man's parents, who sue on behalf of the dead man, who was not 'given due process' in the decision.
Next, Anti-abortionists everywhere began suing potential abortion receivers on behalf of the unborn child 'not receiving it's due process'. Even win or lose on these potential cases, their being tied up in the court system to await decisions pushes the pregnancy past a termination date, thus essentially forcing the gal to have said baby regardless and completely side stepping Roe Vs. Wade.
Interesting and scary, no? The government had NO right to get involved in this. This was a personal, DEEPLY personal matter. You can practically hear the stampede of people rushing to write out living wills so this doesn't happen to them. Estate Attorneys must be out of their minds with bliss.
I hate these people right now, with every inch of my being. This poor woman has been in a forced state of limbo (and in my belief, torture) for the last fifteen years because these people will selfishly refuse to let this woman go to her peace. Is the Husband being an ass by staying married to her? I applaud him. It's not for the money, like the Republicans are trying to make us believe. The money is gone, and as far as I know, he's the one paying for her medical expenses. He is staying married to her and fighting her fight because he dearly loved her when she was alive (don't kid yourself that she's alive now, her spirit left the shell long ago, proof being her vegetative state). He has fought for fifteen years to carry out the dying wish of his beloved wife. Did he move on and get together with someone new? Yes, after TWO FUCKING YEARS of holding out hope she would return. After the doctors finally told him she wasn't coming back, he moved on, yet still didn't give up hope until another 6 years.
Will she suffer a horrible death of starvation? No, because she's NOT ALIVE to feel it. A pulse doesn't mean there's a soul there. If you are worried about any feeling and misery, then give her a painless shot. Don't you DARE tell me this woman is happy to be alive. If you were trapped in there, would you want to be kept around by tubes? Good God, no. You'd want to end your own as well as your family's suffering. Wake up, people, because she sure as fuck isn't going to. Not after fifteen years of no higher brain function. If by a complete and utter miracle she did come back, I would expect she'd turn to her family and smack the crap out of them for doing this to her. What's next, will they make a court order for hubby's semen to provide them with grandchildren?
Ugh. ugh. Ugh.
