Culture of death

Speaking of the Terry Schindler Schiavo situation................

"We ought to err on the side of life in a case like this," said White House spokesman Scott McClellan. Asked about a bill that would cover a single person, he said, "I think most people recognize that this case involves some extraordinary circumstances."

House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas, said the federal district court in Florida, which is open 24 hours a day, had already been informed that a petition would be filed as soon as the president signs the measure - with the presumption a judge will order that the tube be replaced. Time is not on Terri Schiavo's side," DeLay said. "The few remaining objecting House Democrats have so far cost Mrs. Schiavo two meals already today."

Even though the legislation would pave an avenue for federal jurisdiction in the legal case, there was no way to determine in advance how or when a judge would rule - or even which judge would be assigned the case by lottery.

Lawmakers who left Washington on Friday for the two-week Easter recess had to make abrupt changes in plans, backtracking for a dramatic and politically contentious vote. In a special session Sunday afternoon, Democrats refused to allow the bill to be passed without a roll call vote.

This is a brief except from a news brief I just read. I get frustrated with stuff like this because I feel it is very transparent. This will sound terribly partisan (but that's OK, because I am terribly partisan......with good cause), but the Democratic party promotes a culture of death and it disturbs me greatly. I agree that no political party is perfect, nor can political parties provide the salvation our culture needs. Still, the Democratic party promotes an agenda that is destructive to the values I consider important. This is just another example of the "culture of death" they are seeking to promote. Assisted suicide, abortion, unfettered sexuality, homosexuality and the like.

Maybe I'm simpleminded, but I can't understand how anyone can feel good about denying someone nutrition and forcibly starving them to death.
