If Terri was a lesbian, would DeLay and RWC still be "fighting for her"?

in quotes because DeLay is operating based on his own political agenda, not for Terri

1. Oh, what a good point!

2. If Terri was on death row?

Would Tom Delay be calling for another round of appeals?

3. If she was an illegal alien they'd ignore her too. n/t

4. If Terri was a 17-month old black baby, would he fight?

Oh, wait, we know he wouldn't.

5. It never would have been an issue

Because as a lesbian, her partner would have had no say whatsoever over her medical care no matter what she'd said to her wife and no matter how long they'd been together. In the law's view, her parents would have been next of kin.

Horribly unfair.
