#1 I'd never have thought an Atheist and me, a fairly conservative Roman Catholic would ever be on the same page. (and Ralph Nader too!?!?!!!!). Despite the rather greusome images and postshots at religion, his is the ultimate "reductio ad absurdem" I have seen against those who would support this state sanctioned killing of the helpless.

Here is the nugget - and why the Left is such a danger in their opposition:

we are all safer in a nation populated by people [who] so madly embrace life in all its forms and at all its stages rather than give the presumption to death.

Its sad that we came to this. An abusive husband and a biased stubborn judge have just wreaked enormous damage on our society and governmental system. This fight has just begun. This was the clarion call against judicial fiat.

#3 If it were done in Kuwait or Pakistan, we'd call it an honor killing, and put it on Page 2 as background material.

I wonder if there's some nascent Charles Johnson somewhere in Pakistan posting about this on his website.

#4 I hope so (re: some LGF Paki equivalent) - sauce for the goose....

One thing Schiavo and Greer and the lawyers dont realize: They just lit a fire under Pro-Lifers of all stripes, and given them a great motivator and issue (activist judges, who will be painted as arrogant) for the 06 mid-term elections and for 2008. And that pressure will fall squarely on the Dems (whether deserved or not) in the coming confirmation fights.

I was resting pretty comfortably on the 04 election results, but this one has me fired up again. I know I will be a lot more involved in 06 than I originally thought.
