Re: Jeb's agenda or Right of Privacy?

Judge Baird ruled that the law is unconstitutional because it violates the disabled woman's right to privacy and delegates legislative power to the govenor.
The Govenor's office filed an immediate appeal.
Let me get this straight... Jeb going into people's bedrooms/hospital rooms and telling them that they are not allowed to terminate their lives ... This somehow protects their right to privacy?
Funny how an overarching beaurocratic government can word things to say the opposite of what they really mean. Like how the "patriot act" is nearly the exact opposite of what our founders would call patriotism. Intrusive government interference into the private lives of civillians is also somehow worded as "privacy."
I have never understood the Christian right's insistance on requiring people who will never get out of a coma to be hooked onto an EXPENSIVE machine and not allowed to die naturally - even against the will of their own loved ones. Talk about sick animated corpse. If I am ever a vegetable, I don't want my family to be legally forced into paying doctors to pump vitals through my dead flesh.
