Under Bush, Rich folks got more Right To Life than...
Poor folks. Now, how does this case differ substantially from the Shavio carnival? In one or two, very important ways. What would they be?
Total disclosure. I worked at a nursing home around people who were brain dead. In both cases the families choice to pretend the residents were sleeping a lot or just very, very, very, very, very, very, deep in thought. The families played dress up with the residents every day and in one case, enrolled in one in kindergarten. This did not give them a quality of life, this made them into toys. How does the RNC have both the Death penalty and perverse worship of life signs as its tent polls? How can you support the death penalty - causing the death of a healthy, alive , fully operational person and fight so hard to keep a marginally living person functioning mechanically? how can the RNC claim to be pro-life when they clearly are not? doesn't everybody have a Right To Life?
