Mark Belling (Milwaukee) just brought up a good point. Terri herself was apparantly a devout Catholic. If Church doctrine expressly forbids what's being proposed, then would this not legally be a violation of Terri's first amendment right to freedom of religion?
I think that what was being argued in the court that Teri's 14th Amendments rights were run right over
Yes it would. But greer ruled against her right to practice her religion. I forget what his excuse was. Something like it being irrelevent.
The parents have been making the 1st Amendment case in court within the past week. This poor thing will not even be allowed to receive Extreme Unction (last rites) because Michael Schiavo (hell be upon him) has denied access to her Priest.
