Depending on which poll one believes, 70 to 82% of the population agrees with us. I am sure that some white supremacists would agree with us, along with many moderates, conservatives, and feminists.
If Peters believes that this court case will return patriarchal values in this country and be a blow to feminists, then he really has no understanding of the law. If the roles were reversed, Terri Schiavo could make the same decisions for her husband.
Indeed, a ruling favoring the parents would probably be a bigger blow to feminism. Her parents have stated that they would have disregarded her wishes had she let them know that she would not want to live in this condition. If they are willing to ignore her wishes, why should they be trusted to make medical decisions for her?
