Reuters published an interesting article today titled "Schiavo Protesters Not All Christian Conservatives". Eleanor Smith, a protester who described herself as a "lesbian" and a "liberal", described her concerns. A polio survivor who has previously demonstrated in support of the ACLU, expressed concerns about this case in which there is no clear evidence about Terri's wishes. "What drew me here is the horror of the idea of starving someone to death who's vulnerable and who has not asked that to happen. . . At this point I would rather have a right-wing Christian decide my fate than an ACLU member," Smith said.
If you want more of the facts (rather than the incomplete media coverage) about the Schiavo case, numerous medical reports and court documents are available at the Terri's Fight web site. The affidavits of her medical caregivers are particularly informative.
