I count 2 in 10 that "choose life." This certainly reinforces my reluctance to abide by popular opinion. I suppose my friends will now start accusing me of joining the Religious Right.

It would seem the Bogisphere Brain Trust is lacking in Moral Clarity. But I think we already knew that.

This isn't necessarily a referendum on the Higher Beings, just an observation.

its about federalism, not religion. congress got it right when it refused to second guess, or preempt the states right to decide the death penalty, it is wrong on schiavo.

Once you accept what persistent vegatative state means, there is no point in belaboring the inevitable.

I'm amazed at the lack of humility among many other bloggers, who purport to know more than the judges & doctors. And Taranto did a full 180, accusing the circuit court of judicial passivity!

Glenn Reynolds' and other 'top' bloggers' non-positions on the Schiavo matter have certainly had an impact on me. I've removed their urls from my bookmarks list and will never visit them again. To me, 'not having a position' means assent to killing an innocent human being;; I'm sure that's how every 'good German' felt.

Gerard, thanks for being one of the few top writers in the blogosphere to be engaged in this crucial fight against the Culture of Death.

Thank you for your kind remarks. I perfectly understand your position on those that have "no position."

That said, I also have to say that I do not agree that those with "no position" on this matter means that they "assent to killing an innocent human being." I think it means that they sincerely have no position and while that is hard for people to accept, we need to take them at their word and respect that.

I, as is quite evident, have a position on the Schiavo matter and oppose with what ever powers I may have those that take the opposite position.

I do not, in this instance, believe that one should be either for or against. In this instance, I do believe it is possible to be neutral or to take no position.
