By "Let her die" you mean "Kill her", right?

You could just remove her from life support, then you wouldn't be doing any action to specifically kill her.

I think it would be much kinder to kill her using some sort of painless drugs than to let her die by removing life support or feeding tubes, whatever it is.  I think we all need to be a bit more honest about our mortality - we're all going to be dead soon enough, and 'life after death' is a nonsensical and psychologically self-serving fairy tale.  So lets just try to minimize pain and suffering.

What does 'deserving' have to do with it?  Plenty of people starve to death in the streets all the time, or die of lack of medical care, and no one worries about what they 'deserve'.

The only reason the Right is interested in this woman is it suits their ratings (FOX) and popularity due to outrage (GOP).  If she didn't have insurance they'd want her disconnected ASAP.

Welcome back midgrendell.  I think we can all agree this congress is an appalling thing.

The protestors are calling Jeb Bush "Pontius Pilate." Am I the only one who finds this hilarious?

It is great fun!  Couldn't happen to a nicer guy! 

Maybe this will teach the plutocrats they're playing with fire making use of these religious maniacs.
