Yesterday it was the steroid filled baseball players.
...now, Congress is ordering a "brain damaged" woman to appear before them to see if she is "brain damaged enough" to be allowed to die!
Don't they realize that people in that condition can not be moved around without potentially fatal consequences? Kongress may kill Terry Schiavo before the doctors do...!
This latest action by Congress is clearly "right to life" going over the top!
Well, ANYTHING to avoid talking about the real issues like health care, jobs and the trade deficit! Ya think?
But can they keep this freak show going until the next election.....?!
Says Tom Delay to Fox News:
".... removal of the tube would be "an act of barbarism" that must be prevented, DeLay blasted Sens. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and Carl Levin, D-Mich., who he said blocked Senate passage of the Protection of Incapacitated Persons Act of 2005, a measure inspired by the Schiavo case.
"Those senators responsible for blocking our bill ... have put Miss Schiavo's life at risk," DeLay said. "We care about saving Terri Schiavo's life. The House bill will do that."
Exactly who or what is barbaric is questionable..... But since 80% of medical spending is put out for persons in the last year of their life, this may be an issue whose time has come....
