Something very interesting is that this is the same George W. Bush signed a law in Texas that expressly gave hospitals the right to remove life support if the patient could not pay and there was no hope of revival, regardless of the patient's family's wishes. It is called the Texas Futile Care Law. Under this law, a baby was removed from life support against his mother's wishes in Texas just this week. Compassionate my ass.
With the new tort reform crap that is being pushed, Terry Schaivo would not have won the 1 mil in court to afford to be on the machine. When she (family) couldn't afford it, she would have to file bankrupcy right? No, she couldn't under the new bankrupcy laws. Yesterday's majority congressional actions were for the sole purpose of appealing to their religious base in the next election.
LMAO! ITS ALL BUSH"S FAULT! Why would they have to appeal to the religious base? They already have them!
