Bush & The Schiavo Case: Headlines We Won't See

In cases like this one, where there are serious questions and substantial doubts, our society, our laws, and our courts should have a presumption in favor of life.

-- George W. Bush

Headlines We Won't Be Seeing:

I guess you only get "a presumption in favor of life" if you're brain-dead or haven't been born yet.
