The Schiavo amendment
Maybe I missed this last month, but while checking on HJ9 (repeal of the 22nd) I noticed it lying in wait. Guess they are very serious on controlling our lives and deaths. There are 138 cosponsors of this bill, you guessed it, all repukes as far as I could tell.

When in god's name does the autopsy report come out?

Just thought we needed some balance from the pope.


23. H.R.1151 : To amend title 28, United States Code, to provide the protections of habeas corpus for certain incapacitated individuals whose life is in jeopardy, and for other purposes.
Sponsor: Rep Weldon, Dave (introduced 3/8/2005) Cosponsors (138)
Committees: House Judiciary
Latest Major Action: 3/10/2005 Referred to House subcommittee. Status: Referred to the Subcommittee on the Constitution.

8. My nephew would qualify,
scares the hell out of me. He's 7 months and has global defects. He has never smiled or responded, the only things keeping him alive are a pacemaker and a feeding tube. He is condemned to a life of suffering and all that sweet baby has known is suffering in his short time here. How long he will last like this is unknown. I pray for him each day, he won't get any better.
Mercury folks, it is not a good thing.
