Life Presumption

Congress and President Bush have brought about a law that may save brain-damaged but very much alive Terri Schiavo from an excruciating death by starvation. America needs to "stand on the side of those defending life for all Americans, including those with disabilities," the president says. "In cases like this one, where there are serious questions and substantial doubts, our society, our laws and our courts should have a presumption in favor of life."
