Liberals Don't Support Their Cause By Supporting Murder

Terri Schiavo will indeed be murdered tomorrow.

I have spoken out, shared opinions, pleaded and been heartbroken over this unfathomable event that is to take place.

I was surfing blogs tonight. There are so many impressive pieces written about and for Terri and this was the dialogue I looked for tonight. I am beside myself over this issue and find it difficult to engage in a normal night of reading, writing, playing, laughing...

I have hope, but I am broken hearted and desperately looking for some sign that this will be a hotly debated issue that ends in with the decision that we have no right to murder this woman.
I came across a blog --- a conservative blog (http://ace.mu.nu/ ) that identified this as a Christian conservative -vs- liberal fight. God, I hope we are all looking at this past those kinds of labels. I responded to the article with the following:

I am not an extremist, but anyone would call me an ardent liberal, that is certain. Perhaps I am an anomaly, but I am devastated over what is about to happen here. To even be debating this is perverse. It is murder, nothing shy of that very accurate description. Murder. She will not die tomorrow, but she will be murdered tomorrow. By all estimates it will take her 7 - 10 days to actually die of starvation and dehydration. Terri is being executed by calculated, cruel and inhumane measure. We do not even execute condemned criminals with such unthinkable methods. And this woman's crime? Needing more love and care than the average human being. I am sick over this. Desperate almost. I sit writing this tonight with an utter punctured equilibrium over what will happen tomorrow and my inability to do anything about it.

We exchanged a few posts and then he posted a new article: http://ace.mu.nu/archives/071915.php

An Ardent Liberal Speaks Up For Terri

I'm posting this on the theory that only Nixon can go to China. Liberals, I know, won't listen to me. And I don't really blame them; hell, I sure don't listen to them.

But a commenter just posted the following about Terri Schiavo. She's a lesbian (not important to me, but maybe it earns credibility points with liberals) and is a strong liberal.

This case is NOT about abortion. It's not about the right to die, generally. Even if I concede, arguendo, that everyone should have the right to die if one wishes, surely we can agree on the proposition that we shouldn't die simply because someone else wishes-- especially when that someone else is not necessarily concerned with our best interests.

I don't know if many liberals read this site, but on the off chance you do, take this woman's words to heart. Call your Congressmen, write a blog-post, do something-- a woman is going to be murdered tomorrow for no good reason.

We can agree on this one. And we need at least a sizeable number of you on our side if we're going to try to pull a last minute miracle.

[he quotes my post]

There are a number of liberal-leaning Florida legislators, as well as federal Congressmen, who will not do anything to help Terri because they assume, perhaps wrongly, that their liberal constituency wishes her to die. If they are informed quickly that that assumption is wrong, they might just decide to join with the hated conservatives and save a human life.

My liberal friends, my conservative friends...this is not about any other person, it is not about politics, it is not about ideology. It is about Terri and her right to NOT be executed. If I sleep tonight, it will only be with the desperate hope that tomorrow morning brings a stay of execution for Terri.
