SCHIAVO: CONGRESSIONAL LAW DEFENDS LIFE, MOVES ISSUE TO FEDERAL COURT
J. Grant Swank, Jr.
"Rep. James Sensenbrenner, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, said the legislation would move the case to federal court where a judge would determine who has the legal right to decide the question of nutrition and hydration for Schiavo and whether they can be terminated," reported Siobhan McDonough, Associated Press Writer.
With the Republicans leading the way, and Democrats in the main following, Congress stalls its Easter recess in hopes of rescuing a life — Terri Schiavo, 41.
"’We think we have found a solution’ to the Terri Schiavo case, House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas, said at a Capitol Hills news conference. ‘All sides agree that this is the best way to proceed.’"
"Most Democrats joined Republican attempts to pass legislation about Schiavo's case, though the GOP led the effort," Gannett News Services reports.
In other words, there are scores of individuals, with power and with little power, clamoring to keep life alive. That is such a commendable message from America to the rest of the world as well as, of course, the decent move to make regarding a human being hanging between life and extinction.
As soon as the law gets to the United States President’s desk, he has stated he will sign it.
While some other nations stash away citizens, in the case of Saddam Hussein even feeding mortals to shredding machines, America represents the defense of life — period. Sadly, there are those within the country who work night and day for death of one human or another, including womb babies; but this Schiavo issue has brought to the fore the culture of life advocates. In that, once again the killing enthusiasts are put to shame. They don’t represent America.
"Yesterday's flurry of activity brought the most powerful Republican leaders in the country into the case, putting the party strongly on record against allowing her to die. But it also raised anew the fundamental question of government's proper role in private matters of life and death."
This is the primary measure that continually should be dealt with in a democracy. We exist to defend, not only freedom for the well and advantaged, but freedom for everyone. That includes the freedom to all to remain alive by all means.
"’The American people have screamed at the top of their lungs and asked for a federal legislature, a state legislature, anybody with any authority to get involved and to save this woman's life, and now the Congress has acted, the state is acting, and in relationship to life, that is a positive thing,’ said Troy Newman, president of Operation Rescue, an anti-abortion group that has been sending urgent appeals to its members to help Schiavo."
