Terri Schiavo: Scott Ott’s Take.

Posted by Eric at 8:55 am. Filed under: General

As he does so well, Scott Ott has written a piece of satire that makes some excellent points.

The National Organization for Women (NOW) today held a jubilant news conference to celebrate the latest advance in women’s rights — the right to have your estranged husband choose to end your life.

“First, it was women’s suffrage — the right to vote — then abortion, the right to privacy,” said an unnamed NOW spokesman. “Finally, a man has led the way in freeing us from the antiquated bigotry that has kept our former husbands from choosing a slow, painful death for us.”

Legal experts at the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) also praised the “new progressive precedent in contract law.”

“The court has affirmed that a verbal contract where the only witness is one of the contracting parties is legally binding even if that witness has already violated a written contract, in this case a marriage license, verbally affirmed before dozens of witnesses,” said the ACLU expert. “The bias against known contract-breakers is gone. This also gives a more influential voice before the courts to our nation’s incapacitated, comatose and dead citizens. Their wishes can be determined by the words of their beneficiaries without the hassle of documentation or multiple witnesses.”
