Thanks for the link, Betsy -- that article laid it out really well.
A wrenching, horrible situation, but a better outcome than anything that this case will bring.
Sounds like it. How sad.
You're talking to Serenity. And, Early... Serenity is very unhappy.

Spike's Bitches 22: You've got Angel breath
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

From the MSNBC article tommyrot linked to...
David Gibbs, the attorney for her parents, said.... [snip] “The family is prayerfully excited about their daughter going before the United States Congress for the whole world to see how alive she is," he added.
So many things about this comment repulse me. Whether or not she is "alive" isn't the issue. She's plainly alive. Moss is alive, but that doesn't make it a life a person would want to live.
But more importantly, the crass politicization of any and all religious language ("prayerfully excited...") that has seeped into, it seems, every aspect of our lives, fills me with utter revulsion.

I'm sorry, Nora. You are not the only one, Minister. I didn't sign on for life in fucking Gilead, yo.

Now tagless for your comfort.

My thoughts exactly. Is "prayerfully" even a fucking word?

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

It is. Not that I like its usage in this context.

Is "prayerfully" even a fucking word
To some people it's the philosophy on which they base their every waking hour. "Well, we got lost, then we prayed about it, and God helped us find the freeway."
Actual quote.
