Bush law to kill woman who is not brain dead or terminal
What's the word I'm looking for? Eureka, "hypocrisy."
Of course, this is a case where the woman is poor. We can't have these poor people living. They might pollute the genetic strains of the master race.

HOUSTON---The countdown has begun on the life of Andrea Clark, a patient at St. Luke's Hospital.
Six days left.
No, she's not terminal, her family says and she's not brain dead. Her sisters say that she wants to live. The Houston hospital is going to unilaterally remove a woman from life support, apparently based on the decision of a lone physician even though her family wants her to continue to receive care.
The central issue in the Andrea Clark case is the same as that in the Terri Schindler Schiavo case, whether the state should be able to sanction the removal of a human being from life support.
What's even more significant in the Clark case is that the Texas bill that allows health care providers to end a human life despite the wishes of the patient and the patient's family was signed into law in 1999 by President George W. Bush as Texas Governor. However, in 2005, he rushed back to the White House from Easter vacation to sign a bill rushed through Congress which was designed to save the life of Terri Schiavo because of his "presumption in favor of life".
Of course, this is a case where the woman is poor. We can't have these poor people living. They might pollute the genetic strains of the master race.
