" Aside from this type of post, a *much-deserved break* for the Schindlers .. God Bless Them .. a more devoted family there just couldn't be. May God grant them peace in time. "

I agree, Starwise~!!

The Schindlers are my heros. They went through, what no family should ever have to endure. God Bless them always!!

I will forever remain disgusted at how polticians (and leaches like Jackson) of all stripes commandered this case to pursue various agendas on what should have been a personal, not a federal matter.

I wholeheartedly agree.

So, they went and met the POPE??? I know this is a blasphemous question, being related to St. Terri and all, but I wonder who paid for this trip.

What's wrong with them meeting the Pope? I'd like to meet this Pope, and I would have liked to have met Pope John Paul II as well. They have every right to continue to defend their stand on their daughter's life and death, and the Vatican agreed with their stand, in fact.

And as for "who paid" - and who profited first - who paid for all of Michael Schiavos lawyers over the years? The insurance money he got lo those many years ago?? And what else did that money pay for? I'd certainly like to know that.

I didn't say there was anything bad about it. The reason I brought it up was because of arguments a while back about who would profit first from this. That's all.

Isn't it odd how the anti Terri's seem to resent any money the Schindler's get? The media made a big deal out of it while Terri lay dying. Like they thought it was TERRIBLE, UNCONSCIONABLE that pro life groups were rallying the troops and raising money to fight for life. I found it CHILLING! And apparently, they're still doing it and getting away with it. The anti life folks resent every penny that goes - OF OUR OWN FREE WILL - to help promote life.

I think I'll go to www.terrisfight.org and make another donation.

The Schindler's are our spokespersons. They deserve our full support. I wish they could come to my town to speak. It would be an honor to give them a hug and be able to tell them how much we love and admire them and how sorry we are for the hell they went through watching their beloved daughter be starved/dehydrated to death. I still can't believe it happened.

I think they enjoy the limelight and all that comes with it...such as photo ops with the Pope, thereby profiting on the death of their daughter.

What a sick sentiment. Would you say that the woman who lost her husband that was recognized by Pres. Bush at the State of the Union was "profiting off of his death"?

Regardless, it's absolutely tasteless to consider this "profiting".

If you'll look back on Terri threads, you'll notice we were quite passionate about following Terri's wishes, which absent anything written we had to assume were to live.

We just don't like to let the issue drop, because we don't want to have to watch anyone else murdered.

But since you're okay with familial murder, I'm not sure why I'm trying to explain this to you.

But they didn't meet with the Pope. He never granted them a private audience, choing instead to greet them as they stood in line at a public weekly audience.

Mrs. Schlinder had to literally shove a picture of Teri into his hands.

If you all are going to be annoyed at anyone, it should be the Vatican blowing them off this way.

So, she changed her mind...No need to call her a liar over it.

Hey, I'm just trying to help her remember what she said. Consistency is important.

We've all changed our minds at one time or another.

When the personal attacks start, the threads get moved to the Smokey Backroom. And you guys don't like that..

Well, I think it's tasteless to accuse a husband of abusing his wife during their marriage when there's absolutely zero proof. So I guess we're even.

Why do you assume that? Why? THIS IS WHAT THE WHOLE LEGAL CASE WAS ABOUT. Don't you get it? It was proven in a court of law that this was not her wish. I know, I know you don't like it. But the law was followed.
