HB 1147 is an act proclaiming March 31 of each year as a day to remember Teri Schiavo.
Intent. The general court hereby establishes March 31 as a day to remember Terri Schiavo who died tragically on March 31, 2005. The general court recognizes that her death occurred as a result of the failure of the state and federal court systems to uphold the words of the United States Declaration of Independence "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. - That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed."
According to the Legendary Constitutional Scholar Dan Itse and Legendary Tealibanista Jerry Bergevin, her death occurred because there wasn't enough gummint interference.
The end of Teri Schiavo's life was turned into a right wing Christian Taliban fiesta - where all kinds of people got involved in the most private decisions of a family - a place where they had no business.
That's the thing. The Freebaglicans love to boast of how they hate gummint interference. That hatred lasts until they find themselves in the gummint, and then they can't wait to interfere. Especially where women's medical issues are concerned.
Teri Schiavo had no connection to NH. This is just obnoxious posturing by Itse and Bergevin. NH taxpayers should be furious that they're paying for this kind of pious baloney.
