Is New York Becoming a Red State?

According to The Jewish Week (seen via Kesher Talk):

Terri Schiavo might still be alive had she been in a hospice in New York State rather than Florida.

A Queens Supreme Court justice, citing state and Orthodox Jewish law, ruled last week that a feeding tube is not medicine and must be inserted into a patient who cannot swallow unless the patient had provided explicit instructions to the contrary.

This might be the issue where we Red-Sea pedestrians finally split with the left.
