ok, so mm hears that the latest flack in d.c. over the recently signed/surely to be overturned abortion bill has to do with the signing photo-op......where gw was pictured signing, backed by white men in suits......no women, no ethnic minorities.....nobody except white males.........the image will be perfect for the opposition's fund raising...........'do you want your reproductive decisions to be made by white men in suits in washington?'.........which is kind of like ellen goodman's article today about the schiavo right to die case in fla........do you want jeb to make your end-of-life decisions? her article made good points......a spouse is much more likely to choose her spouse over her parents to disclose her wishes on end-of-life matters, and choose this spouse to make these decisions when the time comes.........yes, the parents bore her, but when a child grows up and chooses a mate, the parental relationship is replaced by the spousal relationship......in fla, the shiavos cannot let go of their daughter, and desire to make decisions for her like she was still a child at home.........after the daughter's years of marriage prior to her accident, plus the 13 years in this vegetative state......they need to let her go......
