If all you know about healthcare "death panels" is what you heard on a talk show, then you must think the feds will pull the plug on patients.


News bulletin: Texas already has death panels.


A Houston man's life was ended last week.


A leukemia patient identified only as Willie was denied nourishment and died, according to Texas Right to Life.


Since 1999, Texas has given hospital "ethics panels" the authority to end care even if the patient or family wants to continue.


It's called the Texas Futile Care Law. The Texas Senate bill passed in 1999.


Back then, the Senate's presiding officer was Lt. Gov. Rick Perry.

How do you come to the conclusion or opinion that there is no war against women?



Uh, because there isn't? Its a completely false and manufactured narrative? Because it's only coming up since Obama is in big, big trouble with women?

Thanks Yuki, that was a good read. The author does show his bias a bit and took some cheap shots, but if the names and dates are accurate, that is cool info, esp. regarding Bush and co. in the 70s. I'm also interested in his take that the shift occurred before the religious right moved in on the GOP as I had thought that they were responsible for the war.

Given Rich's past rants I would not be shocked if we found out sometime in the future that he was on the payroll. Him and the Democrats all seem to march together.
