Uh-huh. Because there is no way you new conservatives would EVER force a woman to carry a fetus to full term, force someone to die with no dignity or force families to put off allowing their unrecoverable loved ones to die (Terri Schiavo).
So don't hand me your bullshit on anybody forcing anything.
"Force a woman" to carry her fetus to full term as opposed to blithely "allowing" her to kill an innocent?
Force a person to die with no dignity? As opposed to what? What is the death with dignity thing you are commenting on? Assisted suicide, perhaps?
And as for the Terri Schiavo case, lots of conservatives disagreed with lots of other conservatives. The point was that it was NOT all that clear that Terri WAS actually beyond all hope. I kind of imagine she was. But there was other evidence and it's kind of "ok" not to presume that we know more about the marvels of the human brain than we actually DO know.
The POINT of the liberal position (on this health care issue) is that the GOVERNMENT purports now to have the Constitutional authority to TELL us what we MUST buy -- as long as it's for our own good. And yes. It IS a matter of compulsion. And yes, it is a very dubious authority that the libs lay claim to.

1. "A car crash victim has spoken of the horror he endured for 23 years after he was misdiagnosed as being in a coma when he was conscious the whole time.
Rom Houben, trapped in his paralysed body after a car crash, described his real-life nightmare as he screamed to doctors that he could hear them - but could make no sound.
'I screamed, but there was nothing to hear,' said Mr Houben, now 46, who doctors thought was in a persistent vegatative state.
'I dreamed myself away,' he added, tapping his tale out with the aid of a computer."

2. An Arkansas man who went into a coma after a serious car crash during his late teens has awoken nearly two decades later as a middle-aged man with an adult daughter.
Terry Wallis was 19 and newly married with a baby daughter when his truck plunged through a guard rail, falling 25 feet.
He was left paralysed and in a coma by the crash in the summer of 1984. One of his companions was killed outright.
He remained outwardly unresponsive for years, and news reports yesterday described his recovery as all the more remarkable because Mr Wallis was never given specialist care.
His father, a farmer, was reportedly too poor to afford a neurological examination and state medical insurance was reluctant to pay for a man not expected to return to the work force.
But, according to the popular legend now taking root which promises to turn Mr Wallis into a hero for the pro-life movement, the family never gave up hope. Brain Injury | Buzzle.com
Soooo.....you and Liability are in the column that you want government intervention to come in between what is supposed to be a familiy's decision?
And if it were your mother, father, grandparent lying there on life support (God forbid) and his or her doctor(s) assure you that there was no hope of recovery you would want to have to petition the government to make that decision for you????
