We all understand what this is really about. Terry as a metaphor. Feeding tube equivalent to umbilical cord. You want her wishes to be irrelevant, just as you want all "choice" out of the discussion. Well, of course, since you believe this is an immoral choice. You want to pretend there is hope for Terry when none exists. Just as you want severely handicapped neural tube defect children carried to term. The most common type of late term abortion.
You wanted the spectacle of the loving parents to emotionally sway the national argument. Except as an argument the whole circus has blown up in your face. Rather than moving people to your side most Americans are repulsed by the circus. They horrified that the ringleaders and clowns can continue to use Terry in this way. Rather than gaining support for your side, this has been a costly error.
We regret the pain that the family has suffered and we will not forgive you for increasing it for your political goals. Only the most callous of human beings could have used this unfortunate case as you have. How in the name of compassion could you enable the denial of the parents this way? I suppose in the next few days you will continue to use the families pain as a canvas on which to paint your hateful message as we endure still more disingenuously pious displays.
