Terri's Wishes Allegedly "Factually proven"?
According to a clip on Fox News, Congresswoman Wasserman Schultz claims it "has been factually proven" that Terri said the very same thing. Really? How? Because her husband and HIS family CLAIM this was said? Congresswoman, this is NOT the definition of "factually proven." This is HEARSAY.
And let's remember that this HEARSAY was given by a husband who has had children by another woman. A husband who recently denied all visitors to his wife while she is dying a slow and painful death.
If this becomes a precedent, ANYONE can "remember" some alleged "wishes." They may stand to gain an inheritence. They may stand to gain something else. In a court of law, EVIDENCE is supposed to be required. Not just HEARSAY.
There are Republicans who are in favor of legalized abortion (Arnold Schwarzenigger, Condoleeza Rice, Rudy Giuliani, Arlen Spector, etc.) and there are Democrats who are pro-life. However, the Democratic Party has been referred to by some as the "abortion party" or "anti-life," etc. Those Democrats who are trying to stop this bill to save Terri Schiavo only HELP to cement this view in people's minds.
