"In cases like this one ... our society, our laws, and our courts should have a presumption in favor of life."
– President Bush on the Terri Schiavo Case, 3/21/05
VERSUS
In 1999 then Texas Gov. George Bush signed a law that "allows hospitals ... [to] discontinue life sustaining care, even if patient family members disagree."
– Houston Chronicle, 3/15/05, 3/10/05
FYI....the reason for allowing hospitals to discontinue life-support is financial. Threatening to "pull the plug" is a bill collection technique. Seriously.
