Another interesting bit about Bush

In The Akron Beacon Journal (sorry - all articles require a log in so I am not posting a link) had an article about Terri Schiavo closed with the following:

Bush, now championing the right of Terri Shiavo's parents to decide their daughter's care, signed a Texas law in 1999 giving spouses top priority in making such decisions when a patient has not signed a directive about life-prolonging care.

The more I hear about this the more I feel that this is throwing a bone to the conservative religious voters. No one will admit it, but I think abortion is a lost cause for them and, really, I think everyone knew this was a lost cause in the courts. However this make it look like they are trying to do something.
