The case went through all levels of state and federal court review numerous times. If the parents had hired a decent lawyer in the first place instead of taking freebies from pro choice groups that were more interested in making news than winning the case, they might have had a more favorable conclusion. They might also have done better if they hadnt irrevocably pissed off the husband by allowing their attorneys to demonize him in the press after they lost access to her money (oops, I mean the case).
Who has restricted Medicaid payments anywhere?
If the Republican Gov of Missouri doesnt even trust his own party not to do something like that, then why does he support the ammendment? After Schiavo, people with a little common sense, have come to expect anything from unfettered politicians when they arent attending to the people's business.
