Not just white Republicans!
The Reverend Jesse Jackson has called for Terri's feeding tube to be re-inserted, calling her murder "an injustice," and praying with her parents.
Interestingly, Sen. Tom Harkin (D-IA)- one of the most liberal members of the Senate, and one against whom I vote at every opportunity- also wants to save Terri. This is not just a fight of white conservatives! Decent people of all political persuasions see that it is simply wrong to kill someone for the crime of not being able to say "I want to live!" with sufficient clarity to satisfy the discerning Judge Greer.
Sadly, the article to which this post links contains a discussion with a doctor on Terri's condition that is predicated on the assumption that the court-appointed doctors who insist that she is in a persistent vegetative state are correct, and that the thirty or so doctors who disagree are wrong.
