Our Caring Leaders "Err on the side of life"

With all the phony, religious, care and concern shown by the administration for Terri Schiavo, one must take into account the following:

As reported this week in the Washington Post, in 1999 then-Texas Gov. George W. Bush signed a law establishing procedures for hospitals and physicians to withhold life-sustaining care from patients with conditions deemed hopeless, even over relatives' protests.

There was also the inopportune fact that recently House Majority Leader DeLay (R-TX) pushed a budget resolution through the House of Representatives that would cut funding for Medicaid by at least $15 billion, threatening quality of care for people like Terri Schiavo.
