The case of Catholic Terri Schiavo took a turn for the worse today when Judge Greer denied her parents' motion to set aside his 2000 order and appoint an attorney for her.
According to the article:
Greer implied that Terri Schiavo would have been entitled to an attorney in a guardianship establishment proceeding. But he declared that she had no such right in a tube removal proceeding where her “guardian or surrogate decision-maker is authorized to exercise her constitutional right to privacy for her.”
Ah, that great constitutional right to privacy, a great way to get yourself killed even when you (or your unborn child) want to live.
