The sisterhood of selective indignation

THE recent murder of Terri Schiavo by judicial execution in the US was carried out in a most cruel, inhumane and barbarous manner through the denial of food and water to an innocent and vulnerable human being.

This execution by a male judiciary, male, inhumane doctors (so much for their Hippocratic oath) and a heartless male husband did not even warrant a murmur of dissent from the sisterhood.

The same feminists who consider themselves the champions and protectors of their fellow-sisters have not uttered a compassionate word, or a heartfelt prayer. How sadly ironic.
