Removing a feeding tube = murder

[Blue_In_AK]

Speaking for those of us who have been a part of making this same decision for a family member -- in my case my father -- I find this right-wing talking point extremely offensive, and I wish to God they'd stop.

1. It happens a lot more than people think.

It's a private decision and one that should not be used to beat people up.

2. It happens all the time

Statistically, it will happen to a member of your family, even if you only count parents and grandparents.

3. calling every person who has decided with a loved one

a murder. hey, should offend each adn every one of them. this is who the repugs are,. showing the nation, and those that have made this decision who they are. how many people are they turning off. how many people are saying, i wont vote for you next time

4. Why do you hate America?

How dare you express an opinion based on personal, emotional experience instead of chanting the disingenuous "Culture of Life" line. :mad:

5. I guess

that little baby in Texas wasn't eh? :grr:

6. Doesn't sound like they are going to stop.

I am astounded. I have heard people say that the 'pukes will NEVER admit to being wrong. That, in fact, never admitting that they are wrong is a basic trait of the wingers. I never really believed it until the Shaivo/Social Security issues began to be pushed, and pushed, and pushed.
They are like dogs with bones. They will not let go. They think (from recent successes) that with enough repeating, the gullible US public will start to doubt their own eyes, senses and intelligence and believe whatever we are told.
I am hopeful (ever so slighty so), that they have overstepped their mark on these issues. Only time will tell.
It hinges on how well the American public understands BRAIN DEAD, and on how realistic we are regarding the economy.

7. NOT removing the tube, because of your own selfish interests

is outright abuse and torture.

(not YOU, BIA, but those who are more concerned with their own grief than the welfare of the patient.)

8. Fifty million denied health care insurance = "compassionate conservatism"

Orwellian.

9. Been there as well.

I resent being called a murderer by the RWGodSquad.
