Save the cabbage patch doll! (non-photogenic invalids need not apply)
After all, it might make a good campaign issue!
ABC News has obtained talking points circulated among Republican senators explaining why they should vote to intervene in the Schiavo case. Among them: "This is an important moral issue and the pro-life base will be excited..." and "This is a great political issue... this is a tough issue for Democrats."
White, dead, from a middle class family. What's not to love? It's not as if this zombie will rise from its deathbed and debunk all the carefully fabricated Evil Party PR stories.
But if you're in Texas and from a poor black family? No life support for you, because it would cost money. (Thanks to a bill signed by the Coward in Chief before the B*sh junta overthrew the government of the United States.)
«presumption in favor of life», my ass. It's presumption in favor of votes; if the cabbage patch doll came from a poor family, the right-to-lifers would be stumbling over each other to try to sign the "okay to kill people if they can't pay their bills!" law as fast as possible.
