Parents rally activists in final battle to keep daughter alive [Terri Schiavo]
Times online.co.uk ^ | 2/21/2005 | Jacqui Goddard

...Mr Schiavo, who lives with a girlfriend by whom he has two children, plans to withdraw the gastric tube through which his wife is fed when a temporary court order barring him expires tomorrow. He insists that his wife once told him that she would not want to be kept alive should she ever suffer brain damage, although he recalled the conversation three years after her collapse and only after winning $1 million in medical negligence damages relating to her early care....

It's just that I've seen the right pull back time and time again from serious confrontation, even in situations like this one that are so perfect for us, and where our position is so right on the merits.

I know what you're saying. That's why I conclude that it's about good citizenship -- responsible self-government -- more than about association with a movement. The side of justice, courage, and liberty is indeed gaining momentum. I pray we don't squander it.

What a miscarriage of justice. It makes me sick.

I would hope that that would not happen. People in hospices are too fragile for that sort of thing. Cancer patients especially.

Heck, how many times here on FR have we seen the uninformed posted type, "I wouldn't want to live that way." It's real easy to say kill the disabled when you yourself are not.

I don't know if you can blame it on just being uninformed.

It's worse than a miscarriage of justice...it's Nazism alive and well and living in America.

amdgmary is this the same Alexander?

Another former classmate at Dunedin Academy, Alexander Felos, also remembers that Bishop joked he was from Afghanistan. Of course, Felos said, he also joked that he was from Australia.

Michael has definitely kept her from receiving the therapy she needs unless we are unaware of recommendations by the therapists and physicians that they had done all they could do.

As for the scan, did they rule out the other possibilities for the results: neoplastic bone disease or multiple bone infarcts from abnormal hemoglobin?

Not Nazism. It is a gold-digging husband who wants his invalid wife out of the way so he can pocket the money from the suit and live happily ever after with his mistress. Also, it may be worse according to some of the info, it may be a murder for money that is trying to be covered up by euthanasia and cremation.

I wish I were better at finding articles---I have this one particular article I want to find, I saved it somewhere but, where?---lol...the article that quotes Hino's brother (I believe it was Scott) said Michael and Terri were arguing all day the day of Feb.24th, 1990.

She is in a hospice, guarded like a criminal. Last time they pulled the plug, there were more cops out there then I have ever seen assembled. She was "guarded" by Michael's girlfriends mother, who at the time would not let Mrs. Schindler in to see her own daughter...talk about a slap in the face. Anyhow since then the girlfriends mother has died.

I have sent your prayer to 10 other people to join us in holding Terri up to the Throne of Grace.
If we each do this, it will be exponential.

Bless you, Pegita, for these prayers from your heart. I have no words to express how much they mean to me.

And get on those phones, sisters & brothers.

The mainstream media (MSM)will not touch this story because it will upset their view that people who become a burden need to be killed.

If Terri is starved to death, there will not be one American who will be safe. Just wait until you get sick and become a burden to someone....You're TOAST!

I've sent letters to editors to offset the news media bias, so I can help in my own little way. I hope many people will do that.

All in the mainstream media have that pro-death agenda. Don't they know that killing Terri would be a terrible precedent, & it could happen to them some day?
