The issue was who had the right to make medical decisions for the still no longer mentally competent women involved; and secondarily, what decision would she want made, if she had been competent to make that decision.

Nonsense, the issue was whether the state can order the death of a person who was not charged with a capital crime.

No one was trying to put her to death.

So, if you were denied food and water at gunpoint it would not be putting you to death?

The medical procedures involved had to do with keeping her artificially alive.

Wrong again, Terri required food and water, just like the rest of us.

For many, it seemed that what was going on was actually an unnatural abuse of a human body;

Really? Giving someone food and water is "abuse"?

The tangent Congress went off on did profound damage to the cause of stopping the legalized slaughter of innocent babies, because some of the media treated the one issue with the other.

No, the only problem with Congress is that they failed to follow the law they had passed and ignored the oath they took.

Jeb Bush doesn’t get a pass either. He caved for the GOP. Jeb talks tough but he turned out to be Governor Marshmellow.
