The Schiavo sequal

I guess it should be expected that those who fought so hard for government intrusion into the life of a woman that numerous courts ruled would not want to be kept alive by feeding tube would quickly try to attach themselves to anyone else who remotely mirrors the Schiavo story. And the Captain has found one. (World O'Crap points out it's been other places as well, and points out the facts are slanted at WorldNetDaily. *UPDATE* As I post this, the Captain has an update with much the same conclusion).

But the argument from the left over the Terri Schiavo affair wasn't that the elderly deserved to die, or that the terminally ill did not have a right to live. In fact, the left bloggers were quick to point out two other cases occurring at the same time as Terri, one of them brought on by President Bush's very own legislation. These cases could have just as easily be triumphed by the right, by they seemed to lack the media focus that Terri could provide. Cue, Santorum, DeLay, Jeb, and George.

But the right ignored Sun Hudson and Spiro Nikolouzos. And the United States Congress ignored them as well. And if the Congress isn't willing to wade into all of these cases, they shouldn't make a special exception for one woman who numerous members of the impartial judiciary found had her rights upheld.

Hopefully the media will not turn this next case into another media circus. And if they do, we will hear unfairly that this is a growing epidemic somehow related to Terri when, in fact, it's not. Hopefully the media will do a little research before they fall all over themselves to report on yet another right wing blog.
