I was going solely by your posts, which make vocal pro-lifers out to be fanatics.

The people I make out to be fanatics are not those who, with temperate language point out that it is both morally wrong and socially destructive, to pull babies from their mother's womb, to kill them. I oppose the sociopathic notion, that it is merely a question of a woman's right to choose, whether or not to kill her baby. That outrage needs to be addressed.

But those who address not abortion, but rather meddling in a family squabble in Florida, over an unfortunate woman who was never again going to have either the prospects of the typical baby, nor even the cognitive level of an infant newly born, while shouting that they believe in "Life," and damning all who disagree with their approach, is truly an exhibit of fanaticism.

Umm, because it wasn't just a family squabble. It was murder, killing, forced euthanasia. That should never be private or simply a family matter.

What happened to Terri is just as horrendous as abortion.

And from what I saw, I think Terri probably moved about like a new born or a couple of months old baby but I think that she was probably mentally at the 2-4 year old level at least. She just wasn't able to express at that level with words or running around.

She knew what dancing meant and she moved slightly with her arms in the air when the witnesses mentioned dancing.

You know - you have no right to tell people what they can speak up about. If it bothers your agenda, maybe your agenda is failing anyway.

I notice we have to do without your help on the critical precedents set by the Terri case. I don't hear any of us telling you to be quiet about your own agenda.
