more on sciavo....

ok, so this bit of information was in this week's time magazine.......In Florida, there were revealing cracks in the state's conservative cohort, as some Republican pols who usually side with Governor Jeb Bush (who backs efforts to keep Schiavo alive) broke ranks. Powerful state senator Dennis Jones helped defeat eleventh-hour attempts in the Florida legislature last week intended to save Schiavo, telling TIME it was "the wrong vote." Some Florida Republicans say they winced when DeLay insisted that keeping Schiavo and patients like her alive was more important than "the sanctity of marriage"--a concept, of course, at the core of the Christian right's agenda on issues like gay marriage......this could make the whole right wing agenda fragmented.......right to life could become at odds with the sanctity of marriage........they cannot have it both ways......depending on the situation........if congress/courts can set aside a marriage between a man and a woman in favor of the wishes of one's parents, then there is no sanctity........this will be an interesting political season.......good thing there are reasonable republicans in fla.....
