I am having considerable difficulty with the entire issue. Considering the "leaked" (and now admitted) memo that said "such cases are political opportunities", I wonder just how much cynicism is involved in professing "values".

First the memo was from a staffer who has been released.
Anyway, you'll get no argument from me that I want gov to legislate morality. My party has some very religious folks in it who cannot help themselves from trying to help you (in their eyes). Again, it just isn't happening and it won't. I don't think the TS case was about legislating personal morality really. Put it this way, cut out all the crap that was said. The basic jist of the rights argument was that we want a system that (when there is doubt) errs on the side of life rather than death.
