Not all Schiavo demonstrators are fundamentalists

Wheelchair-bound liberal Elaine Smith thinks Terri Schiavo should be reconnected to her feeding tube:
"What drew me here is the horror of the idea of starving someone to death who's vulnerable and who has not asked that to happen," Smith said.

She said she thought that people who left written instructions to withhold medical treatment should have those wishes honored but that withholding water and nutrition from Terri Schiavo, who left no such written instructions, was tantamount to murder.

"At this point I would rather have a right-wing Christian decide my fate than an ACLU member," Smith said.
Point made.
