The War on Terri Part VI
The portions of the blogosphere which have previously not commented on the Terri Schiavo situation are beginning to weigh in.
Wizbang! is growing outraged by the Democrats' willingness to use parliamentary maneuvers to ensure this woman starves to death this time.
Jonah Goldberg, as squeamish over federal intervention in local matters as any solid conservative should be, doesn't much care for the Democrats' sudden discovery of states' rights.
The President signed legislation allowing Terri Schiavo's parents to seek a federal judiciary ruling to reinsert the feeding tube. A majority of Democrats showed a profile in courage by not voting at all, while a plurality actually went on the record as wanting to see this woman tortured to death:
This is America, not Denmark. We don't take lightly the notion that government gets to kill innocent people. It is one thing to send a convicted murderer to Hell, quite another to dispatch a disabled person because we don't think their life is worth living.
Some Democrats and their MSM allies have taken to claiming that starving to death in this fashion will be painless, as medication of some sort will be administered. If that is in fact the case, why not simply shove a pillow over Terri Schiavo's face? Why not bludgeon her with a pipe, or inject her veins with Draino? Why not strangle her?
All would be quicker and more efficient ways to slaughter her, if pain and suffering could not be felt.
And if she's truly in a persistent, vegetative state, why administer medication at all? Surely she cannot feel pain if she's no more than an empty shell, right?

The House passed the bill on a 203-58 vote after calling lawmakers back for an emergency Sunday session for debate that stretched past midnight.
The measured was backed by 156 Republicans to 5 who voted against it and 71 who did not vote; 47 Democrats voted in favor, 53 against and 102 did not vote. The lone independent in the 435 member house did not vote.
The Senate approved the bill Sunday by voice vote.
