DEATH WITH DIGNITY IN OREGON
The people of Oregon have passed a "Death with Dignity Act" that allows terminal patients to ask their physicians to hasten their death with medication - also known as "Assisted Suicide".
The people of Oregon voted on this measure a number of times and passed the measure each time. The measure has even withstood challenges from a number of places but mostly from our own government or should I just say BUSH.
Republicans usually respect the will of the people or "State's Rights" but Bush is not really a Republican - he follows the commands of his god and if his god says "the will of the people be dammed" - so be it.
The people of Oregon have had basically one argument -IT IS NONE OF YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS HOW I CHOOSE TO DIE - but that is not really a legal argument.
The Oregon program, predicted to become a slaughter of the elderly, has proven to be quite the opposite. Actually very few people have made the choice for early death but the ones that did used their free will and obeyed all the restrictions placed on the program.
Bush now has John Roberts on the Supreme Court and he will follow Bush's commands. he has already shown that he will deny the people of Oregon their will. He will tell them to GET FUCKED - the Bush government will dictate the rules by which they can or cannot die.
If Harriet Miers gets on the Supreme Court - BUSH is our god and there is nothing you're gonna do about it.
Even the Republicans are getting scared. Bush seems like a lunatic in control of our country - it's a miracle he did not name his mother to the court.
Wake up America - your freedom is in danger!!!
