Disabled Rights Era

Thursday, March 31st, 2005

We need to start the Disabled Right Era. The Civil Rights Era was a mixture of the law changing minds, but even more importantly, a movement where the heart informed lawmakers and eventually the law to be Right and Just. My argument is that while the Americans with Disability Act continues to do much good [...]

Thoughts of Peace from the Schindlers at Blogs for Terri. The Schiavos on the other hand plan to deny the Schindlers access to the burial: LEVITTOWN, Pa.

So asks Ken Masugi who has been providing excellent historical context on Terri Schiavo’s place in American history at The Remedy. This post takes a look back in time at how the Culture of Death has permeated the Supreme Court and some of its more famous Justices. Consider the line of cases involving not just [...]

Bigoted Supreme Court

Wednesday, March 30th, 2005

Supreme Court permits Terri’s death. Over thirty years ago the Supreme Court decided the Constitution permitted the taking of life within the womb, and now they have stamped their imprimatur upon the extermination of the disabled. The Supreme Court is unfailing in finding new ways to take life, but cannot spend any time thinking about [...]

No Surprise

Wednesday, March 30th, 2005

11th Circuit confirms Terri’s Death Sentence. Ramesh Ponnuru at National Review Online suggests: Check out this concurrence by Bush I appointee Stanley Birch, which declares the congressional act trying to save Terri Schiavo’s life to be unconstitutional. Some of the rhetoric about congressional intemperance seems to me to be intemperate itself (as well as self-glorifying). [...]

CodeBlueBlog Challenge

Wednesday, March 30th, 2005

Award-winning medical CodeBlueBlog is getting tired, “Real Tired,” of people playing neurologist and bioethicist for the media. [H]ave you had enough of bioethicists for a while? Why is it they all have the same opinion and they all start out their spiels by saying “this is a tragic case for everyone involved…” The Doctor is [...]

Pro-Life on the Left

Tuesday, March 29th, 2005

Tom Maguire has a round up of known liberals speaking out on behalf of Terri. This is great news. Nat Hentoff of the Villiage Voice has been pro-life for years, and his passion hasn’t waned. For all the world to see, a 41-year-old woman, who has committed no crime, will die of dehydration and starvation [...]

Must See Video!

Tuesday, March 29th, 2005

This is incredible. Anyone who sees this cannot pretend Terri is in a Persistent Vegetative State (and more evidence that Greer is unfit to hear this case). Obviously, the video was taken before her forced starvation and dehydration. Please spread the word and see other videos at Blogs for Terri.
