Where will it end?

The Griffin’s interesting post below throws Dems in with Libs on the Terri case. This is probably true, but it must be pointed out that Senate Dems voted unanimously and House Dems split about 50/50 for the bill that was supposed to save Terri. The MSM and know-nothing blabbermouths that populate their news programs are ignoring this point. They do so because if they point to strong bi-partisanship on this issue, then they cannot use the phrase “pandering to the religious right” in their next breath.

What does this tell us about Dems – particularly Senate Dems? Are they truly concerned for Terri’s life? Some are, but the overwhelmingly majority are pandering to save their scurvy/ample backsides. Why don’t MSM blabber shows pit a pro-Terri Dem Senator against an anti-Terri House Dem? Why aren’t the pro-Terri Dems stepping up to the mic and speaking out for “that woman”…Ms. Schiavo? Well, the only answer is that it’s the Dems pandering and hiding in the tall grasses on this issue.

Then there’s this. Have you noticed that the creepy jabber boxes shilling for the death of Terri drone on and on about how the congress has no right to inject themselves into this “family issue” all the while the jabber boxes are injecting themselves into this “family issue”? If everyone’s supposed to shut up while Michael Schiavo murders his wife, why don’t the jabber boxes set the example and shut up first?

But there is some good in all of this. It’s heartening to see that the congress, America and indeed the world can be mobilized around the fate of a single woman. The thoughts of people of goodwill, for the most part, on both sides of this issue are focused on Terri’s life or merciful death.

What’s most disturbing to me about this is - what’s next? People say, well I wouldn’t want to live like that. So if a spouse decides that he doesn’t want to live Alzheimer’s can he kill his wife if she contracts Alzheimer’s? If parents wouldn’t want to live with Down’s syndrome, can they kill their 15 year old Down’s child? Most people wouldn’t want to live with Autism, so can they kill Autistic children? As we learn more about our genetic make up, will babies be aborted if they don’t have straight blond hair and blue eyes?

We’ve already reached the point where “good kids” “typical teens” will return to the prom dance as if nothing has happened after delivering a baby in the restroom then discarding it in the trash as if it were a McDonald’s hamburger wrapper. No strike that. They would have dropped the wrapper on the ground. They put the baby in the trash to hide it. Where does it end?
