Agnostics for Terri

In his article in NRO, Deroy Murdock gives 5 non-religious reasons to oppose the judicial killing of Terri Schiavo, including my pet peeve about this case:

...Michael Schiavo found another woman. He adulterously moved in and fathered two children with her. He now is in a common-law marriage with her. In essense, he's a bigamist. This is a four-alarm conflict of interest. Schiavo should have lost his legal standing in this case the second his common-law marriage commenced.

If we can assume that Terri "wouldn't want to live like this", can't we assume that she wouldn't want to remain married to the man who has been shacked up with and fathering childern by another woman for 10 years. I grit my teeth every time I hear some news personality call that man her husband. Wouldn't if be more accurate to call him "the estranged husband"? This outrage must be the feminist in me coming out. Speaking of which, where are the feminists?
Update: Here's one.

Anyway, Murdock has a sad-but-true conclusion:

I fear that the mere presence of giant crucifixes, priests dressed like Medieval friars, people praying with outstretched arms — as important, meaningful, and admirable as all that may be — has shuttered the hearts and minds of many secular people and nonbelievers who might sympathize with Terri Schiavo, were her supporters clad in black turtlenecks and equipped with decaf lattes and I-pods brimming with techno-trance music. As best they can be ascertained, the facts of this case show that, even for those of us who only like churches for their architecture, Terri's fight is our fight, too.
