The Right to Kill the helpless

This is a good summary of what the Florida Supreme court just ruled on. They gave the right to a husband to kill his wife. Her name is Terri, and her days are numbered. Her husband wants her dead, and will stop at nothing to make sure he has the right to kill her.

Even though the circumstances are suspect, and no one knows what it was that cut off oxygen to her brain while just her and her husband were alone, the Florida Supreme court has decided that Michael is the one that should decide his wife's fate. Michael is now living with another woman. Has been for years. Has some children by her. He got some big settlements that were supposed to be for Terri's therapy. But why give therapy to someone you want dead?

Michael also won't let the family see her daughter. The family just wants the right to take care of their daughter, their sister. That right has been denied them. The right of Michael to kill his wife over rides the right of the family to care for her.

I am sorry, did I miss something? Are we under Sharia law here? When did we give the right to the husband to decide when his wife should be killed? Hello?

Where are the women's rights organizations? Where are the Jewish organizations?

Margaret Sanger: Intellectual moron

This little article about Margaret Sanger is interesting. I would like to check out the book that it refers to, Intellectual Morons by Daniel Flynn. Looks like good one.

The Courts Decide Death for the Innocent

The Florida Supreme court has decided to kill a woman. They have given the right to her husband to kill her, even though she is alert, and expresses concern when told that they might kill her. This is a travesty of justice.

How long will we sit around and let activist judges tell us we must give a psycopath the right to kill his wife, even when he is the only one that will benefit by her death, and her parents have been fighting relentlessly to keep her alive and have the right to take her home and provide the care that she needs? Why should her husband, who is now living with another woman, be the one to decide that Terri should die? They should take him out and put him in stocks and beat him publically for adultary, for withholding care from his wife that may have allowed her to recuperate, for not allowing her parents to even enter to see her at many times.

This case has everything to do with the culture of death that we now face in this country. This is the long slide towards death that so many said for so long that the devaluation of life, especially with abortion, would bring us to. This is the same slide that pre-Hitler Germany took. They started with the deformed, the helpless, much like Terri. Every Jew in the country should stand up and fight for the life of Terri. We must not allow our country to walk the same path of death to the "unwanted". We must not allow history to repeat itself. May God have mercy on us, and on our children.
