1. right to die

the fact that the only way she can die is by her feeding tube being removed provides a niche where one can argue for a more humane way of dying.
Those predominantly pro-life are, in this case, pro-lifing by the end of a very delicate string. They know that the only reason why this woman is still living a life without dignity is because the pro-lifers have fought, tooth-and-nail, against every means by which she could die a dignified death. By removing any possible alternatives they have necessitated the death-by-starvation option - rather than fought it.
