clearly this is a political football based on abortion and shameful that politicians are involved with this at all.




An Advanced Directive on Heath Care is vital to prevent oneself from suffering through a similar fate. also, a DNC, DO NOT RECESITATE.

Sorry, Mickey, but you're wrong. The "sanctity of marriage" issue is completely unrelated and a total red herring.

Based on abortion? How so? I would bet her parents are pretty happy that certain politicians have gotten involved. Perhaps they have even asked for assistance from their elected representatives.

And regarding the documents you listed - there are no documents in this case. Again, ending starving her to death is completely based on the word of one man. Not enough there.
