Chavez contrasts the non-criminal Terri Schiavo with murderer Jose Medellin, and finds that Medellin was givenalot more consideration for his "plight" by the Supreme Court than Ms. Chiavo. The question remains why? Chavez feels that many people, including judges, no longer consider her fully human. What a shame and a moral disgrace!
BTW, where are all the Women Support Organizations, like NOW?

Why of course, a murderer must get a trial by jury with the best attorney available arguing as vehemently as he can against the conviction and execution of the creep.
But Terri? Wink, wink, wink.

This is my prayer:
Merciful Father in Heaven, we know that you have seen this from the beginning. I know that I cannot divine what purpose this serves, but if this is your will, so be it, and forgive me for not understanding. But if I am right, and this is decidedly not your will, then please grant that the people who are complicit in this atrocity be granted full measure in return for their evil.
Amen

I think it's a miracle she's still alive.
Maybe God is trying to tell us something.

"Maybe God is trying to tell us something."
If anything, He's trying to tell some stinking court to give the case another fair hearing.

If nothing else, it is a message, very public, of how cruel and brutal this all is. And it very clearly spotlights the involvement of her husband, his lawyer, the police who "protect and serve," and some black hearted judges. Every day is a miracle, and every day it puts the glare of national outrage on these very sick people.

There was a so called Catholic Theologian on Greta, this guy was saying that Terri should die.
The question I would like to ask him is does Terri have a soul? If her soul is gone where did it go and when did it leave?

Certainly the Pope seems to beg to differ. That seems worthy of a little notice.

Zivasmate, thank you so much for such a great article from Linda Chavez. She is yet ANOTHER leader in voice of reason and clear thought who truly *gets it.* Linda is very bright, fair, ALWAYS well-researched, and very articulate. And she's a real LADY to boot.
This article is a must read.

I happen to be Jewish, so my answer might not match that of the Catholic theologian.
Yes, Terri has a soul, which is no less valid than the soul of a perfectly functional human being. This is what makes her starvation and dehydration dictated by a presumably secular judge so abhorrent.

Yes, Terri has a soul, You win a cigar for a perfect answer. A Catholic Theologian would have to give the same answer.
What they are doing is killing a soul.
To: Mike Darancette
I don't smoke cigars, but then again, neither did Clinton. But unlike the former president, I have no other use for them.

Hey it is like this. As Christ said when then the vinegar soaked rag was put to his lips. " It is done" at this point if she is brought back it would only be to prolong her misery. Most of her organs are beyond recovery. Let the poor girl pass in peace. I am so sorry that I belong to the race of people that let this happen. AMEN

I'm no doctor, but the right nutrients and water could still bring her back, I think. All we need is the green light from some merciful judge in a position to rule over the case.

Federal and state judges need to be elected by the people, and serve far shorter terms with term limits.

"

Read Matthew 10:28 and Luke 12:4-5.

"...killing a soul." ? ? Soul as in person, ie 25 souls on board.

NOW is a puppet group and follower of the left. If it's a leftist agenda, then they stand mightily on their soap box to spew their platform. What was the last conservative cause you saw the NOW crowd stand up for? Zero, zip, nada. The National Organization for Women, should be standing up for all women's rights, not just selecting the ones that are PC, or left leaning causes.
