How can a brain dead woman consent to her image being used in the media?
Who would control this? Is it the health care facility, the husband or the parents?

If the husband is interested combating the right-wing spin in this case he needs to contact his attorneys and take some action. Did anyone else make this observation well watching the news or surfing the web?

I have read. That is why we do no see any recent pics. I do not know the exact year this was done.

2. He should retroactively ban all media exposure
No matter what the cause, human faces and the resultant emotional responses are weapons of the conservative movement. The anti-abortion movement doesn't picket with stacks of statistics but rather bloody pictures of fetuses. In any given battle I want to raise the discourse and intellectual level not dumb it down.

With all the talk lately of framing and spin, here is a chance to minimize the impact the other side is having.

3. The husband should sue for invasion of privacy.
Sue the parents, Jeb, the media, etc. Fuck 'em all.

4. Out of curiousity, can he even afford an attorney anymore?
This seems to have been a long battle with no end in site, I can't imagine an attorney doing this pro bono for this long.

5. She was a beautiful girl, very interested in her image, and I'm sure would
never, ever want her current state to be paraded all over the world and I think less of her parents and followers for doing it.
