Today, Terri Schiavo died after 14 days without food or water. The designation of food and water as life support is an interesting one, since it effectively defines all infants as requiring life support, at least until they can manage a spoon or fork.

Of course, the umbilical cord would also have to be considered life support as well. Along that same line of thought, it is interesting that Planned Parenthood is rather smitten by a group of Florida senators who stopped a bill intended to save Ms. Schiavo:

On Thursday, March 24, the director of public affairs for Planned Parenthood of Southwest and Central Florida sent an e-mail to advocates for the abortion operation telling them how to "express your appreciation" to Florida Republican senators who split with the GOP leadership by voting against a bill intended to save Terri Schiavo, according to David Bereit, national director of American Life League's STOPP International.

If nothing else, they certainly are consistent.
