Q: Fwd: Didn't trump possible nominee william
Pryor participate in the murder of Terri schiavo?
A: Yes and no... so to speak. Yes, insofar as
he was silent and voted to affirm the lower court (and was not in the dissent).
No, in the sense that he is a right-wing anti-abortion nut, more-so even
than us, and may have voted to kill Terri thinking that, maybe, she would die
anyhow, but that he didn't want to go down with Terri Schiavo, and anger too
many people with a dissenting vote. Good catch, Robert. In any case, in his
confirmation hearing, it is discovered that he is avowedly
pro-life: "For example, in 1997, the Alabama Legislature enacted
a ban on partial-birth abortion that could have been interpreted to prohibit
abortions before viability. General Pryor is avowedly pro-life and has strongly
criticized Roe v. Wade, so one might very well have expected General Pryor to
vigorously enforce the statute. Instead, he instructed law enforcement officials
to enforce the law only insofar as it was consistent with the Supreme Court's
precedents of Casey and Stenberg v. Carhart, despite pressure from many
Republicans to enforce broader language in the act...Mr. Pryor has said he
opposes abortion even in the cases of rape or incest, and would limit the right
to choose to narrow circumstances where a woman's life is at stake. He has
described Roe as, quote, ``the worst abomination in the history of
constitutional law.'' Worse than Plessy v. Ferguson, worse than Dred Scott,
worse than Korematsu. It is a remarkable comment to make, and I have to say, I
do respect you, Mr. Attorney General, for speaking your mind."

However, only Wilson and Tjoflat dissented in
the decision in which Schiavo was killed and Pryor was a
participant: "Before EDMONDSON, Chief Judge, TJOFLAT, ANDERSON,
BIRCH, DUBINA, BLACK, CARNES, BARKETT, HULL, MARCUS, WILSON, and PRYOR, Circuit
Judges."
