I also wonder what you think my "agenda" is? I didn't have an opinion on this case until I read a lot about it, and watched all the players on television. Only then did I form my opinion. Here's your agenda. Go back and read your posts on the topic and see how many times you bring up religion or right to life You are being duped by the most radical people in the right-to-life movement. They are very manipulative. What is it about a core belief in right to life or religion that scares you so much?

<<You are being duped by the most radical people in the right-to-life movement.>> What got me wasn't the people of any movement but the video shown on CNN where she smiled and reached out to her mother before her husband took her parents out of her life. That's a long way from being brain dead.

It's no accident that the right-to-lifers always choose a relatively young woman for their campaigns. A man or an elderly person would not attract near as much sympathy. Assuming that to some extent men are hard-wired to want to protect young women from harm (imo a safe assumption to make), guys are going to have a very strong reaction to that video they play over and over and over. Some people will recognize that this is purely an emotional response and try to look at it objectively, but a lot of people will never get beyond the instinctive desire to protect her. It is pointless to attempt to reason with them.
