While the Senate convulses and contorts to keep a patient biologically (if not meaningfully) alive in Florida, a very similar case reached its quiet, heartbreaking conclusion in Texas a few days ago.
Republican talking points suggest that, with GOP senators taking on the Florida case, “the pro-life base will be excited…. This is a great political issue… this is a tough issue for Democrats.”
Perhaps Wanda Hudson just didn’t test as well in focus groups as Terri Schiavo’s parents. Or maybe Ms. Hudson’s pleas didn’t make it past the gatekeepers in Republican Senate offices.
About the only thing I do know is that I would rather die than be in their position.
