[lbo-talk] Shaivo finale on my part (for real)

[C. G. Estabrook]

It seems to me that Marta is right on this matter.  What I don't quite
understand is the connection to abortion. Many people opposed to abortion
seem to agree with the "disabled activists who are fighting to save
Terri's life," while many pro-"choice" people seem complacent with the
notion of her starving to death.  The latter group seem like the Clinton
whom Alex Cockburn described a dozen years ago: "He's no friend of the
unborn and unwanted, and that's enough to keep the liberals happy." --CGE
