Im really interested Torog you being an appearant republican and obvious Texan, I would just like to get some things straight Schiavo aside.
From past threads I have gathered that you are against suicide, abortion and euthanasia and are now talking about 'attempted murder, by the state'...your state however has carried out some 256 executions over a decade and kills juveniles, mentally ill and mentally retarded people...so long as they are convicted criminals.

So people shouldn't be allowed to kill themselves, no matter the circumstances. Women cannot terminate or 'kill' the mass of cells in them as the result of conception, no matter the circumstances and yet under the right circumstances states should be allowed to kill-kids, retards and crazy people?
