So, while your question may prompt the duller among us to see the killing of the unborn as a justification to kill a grown woman (the question cuts both ways) I certainly do not. But if you can offer an arguement that it was morally, ethically or in any way you can imagine proper to kill the woman via court sanctioned starvation let's hear it.

I'm not suggesting anything of the sort. I'm saying that those conservatives who suddenly became outraged at Jeb Bush and withdrew their support of him because of Terri Schiavo have a bad case of selective outrage. They should have been equally outraged at him for allowing thousands upon thousands of abortions under his watch, simply because the courts said abortion was OK. I see absolutely no difference between an abortion and what happened to Terri Schiavo. I submit that anyone who opposes Jeb Bush because he didn't do enough to save Terri Schiavo should have begun opposing him the moment the first abortion occurred after he became governor.

I am selectively outraged at arrogant incompetent politicians who shoot themselves in the foot. Name recognition is a poor substitute for ability and character.

Ah, so this "new" court sanctioned murder is something "conservatives" or anyone else should not complain about if they have not complained about past murder via abortion? Sorry, that does not hold water.

Again, this is a basic right vs wrong issue. If Jeb Bush had the inner strength to simply do the right thing and let the cards fall where they may that would show true moral character and real leadership. You can make this abortion vs starving comparison until the cows come home but the fact is that Jeb Bush did not go the distance in a situation where a woman was being murdered via starvation while her mother and father and family were made to watch.

I'm sorry but you can't "get there" by bringing up the abortion issue because there is nowhere to go. It's a red herring.
