Different story if Terri were . . .
If Terry Schiavo had only starred in "Superwoman", she would not be starved to death but we would make her a rallying point for more research.
If she were a killer, she'd be protected under the Supreme Court’s ban on executing the retarded.
If she were a terrorist, liberal senators would be making blistering speeches on the Senate floor condemning her torture-by-starvation.
If she were a teen-aged murderer, she'd be spared execution under the 'Cruel & Unusual' clause.
If she were Scott Peterson, she'd get an automatic appeal...and 20 more years of life.
If she were a beached dolphin, we'd demand not just her feeding, but that heroic measures be taken.
If she were in Guantanamo, the courts would rule that she have appropriate meals and medical care.
If she were on another Death Row, her parents and her priest would be allowed visitation.
If she were a innocent child in the womb . . . opps that one does not work does it?
