Demonizing Life

posted by on 03/22/05 @ 1:39am

I ran across this piece of defecation today on the blogosphere:

Whether Terri Schiavo will live or die in the coming days has come down to this: Can federal district judge James Whittemore set aside virtually every bedrock constitutional principle on which this nation was founded, just so members of the United States Congress may constitutionalize the nowhere-to-be-found legal principle that a “culture of life” is a good thing?

Is it just me, or is Lithwick trying to demonize one who might say, “I’m for living… yes, living is good. Much better than dying, I think.” Lithwick takes constitutional fundamentals to new heights of rigidity and indifference toward individuals. Hmm, and all the while I thought that was the Republicans responsibility.

Note: Why the frick did this all become so political anyway? Why must the Republicans be for Shiavo living, and the Democrats be for her husband’s right to kill her?
