The War on Terri Part XI: The Supreme Decision

As we're probably all aware by now, the Supreme Court has unanimously -- unanimously -- agreed not to grant a new review of Terri's case. They have also unanimously denied her parent's request to order reinsertion of her feeding tube.

All the issues surrounding Terri have been hashed and rehashed. And I think it's crystal clear where we at MoltenThought stand on this issue. Right now, what I send to Terri, her family, and her supporters are my prayers for comfort, peace, healing, and rest. And for justice to be done. If it's too late for Terri, I at least can fight for other helpless ones who have no rights. The ones I stand for also cannot feed themselves, cannot live without their mothers' love, and are also defenseless against the American courts.

So on this Maundy Thursday of Holy Week, as I turn my attention to the suffering and death of another Martyr, I hope Terri and her family can feel my prayers and the prayers of others who stand for the same justice. I mourn with them, not only for Terri's almost certain fate, but for the America that did not save her.
