It's obviously way late in the day, but I think it worthwhile to point out again the extreme and plainly dishonest position Jean Schmidt promotes with respect to end of life issues. I posted much of this on another diary a few days ago, but hearing Bill Cunningham (WLW Radio) voice admiration today for her involvement with Right To Life almost gave me an aneurysm. And it wasn't about abortion; what bothered me was his spin that this group is a voice for mainstream America.
I expect we'd all agree that it is Jean Schmidt's right to hold beliefs about refusal of life support in accordance with her faith. What's more, there is no question that people of good conscience can hold differing views on the subject.
That said, voters have a right to know if Jean Schmidt will attempt to legislate her rather extreme religious convictions into binding law if she is elected to Congress. It seemed to me that the most resounding message mainstream America sent to its government during the Schiavo debacle was when a 76% majority told Congress to STAY OUT of that particular sphere of privacy.
