Terri's Legacy plays in the news today, a factor defining both camps in the emerging political battle for the Presidency. Where Republican candidates would wish to show they were all for saving her life, the Democrats try to show they were for killing her. The recent comments of denial by Obama Nation are one example.

Unfortunately, both sides rely on half truths or lies pushed on us all by the media. This review points to some air-clearing truths. Perhaps it may provide some grist for more reasoned choices.

The media and the left (what’s the difference?) wanted Terri to die because they are for forced murder of the elderly and the sick.
They lied about her suffering. They lied, saying that she was in no pain, that she was in euphoria. The same leftists raise a fuss over condemned criminals feeling pain from lethal injection.

It is practically impossible to find a news report referring to Terri that does not repeat the old lies about her. I say "lies," not "mistakes," because all concerned have had years to investigate and learn the truth. We have a responsibility to know the truth.

We have a responsibility to tell the truth, too. This thread will help to do that.

"judicial misconduct"

That's putting it mildly! The Executive and Legislative branches SHOULD have overruled the judges and stepped in to save her. That crappy husband got away with murder, thanks to the the judge and the failure of the other branches to override the decision to kill her. And the media was just as evil!

Will the GOP Candidates be PRO-TERRI at tonight's debate at the Reagan Libraryor will they be PRO-DEATH tonight?

FIND OUT TONIGHT WHO'S COURAGEOUS ENOUGH TO LEAD OUR NATION. Who will help the weakest among us as part of their platform?????

(not the cristi-critter candidates who chill with Fla Guv Crist a death cultist and democrat wrapped in GOP t-bills.) Crist may be a Giuliani fan and a Romney fan. He likes them both.

Obama's no superman... repeat:

Senator Barack Obama of Illinois, by reputation a dynamic performer, was reserved and cautious as he talked about a donor with a shady past, how he would respond to a terrorist attack on American shores and his biggest mistake (not doing more to stop Congress from intervening in the Terri Schiavo case, he said).

Obama supports euthanasia (culture of death).

In 1999, 10.4% of the severely cognitively impaired residents of the United States were starved and dehydrated to death.

In 2000, 11.0% of the severely cognitively impaired residents of the United States were starved and dehydrated to death.

In 2001, 11.4% of the severely cognitively impaired residents of the United States were starved and dehydrated to death.

I haven't found data yet for other years, but I think it's a fair guess that the killings continue to climb.

This doesn't represent a percentage of patients who died (which would be bad enough). It doesn't mean that 11.4% of the patients who died were starved and dehydrated. It means 11.4% of all the people living in the U.S.A. with severe cognitive impairments were killed this way. And it doesn't include the ones who were killed using other methods, such as denial of antibiotics for simple infections, removal of breathing assistance, etc.

The standard used for determining severe cognitive impairment for the purpose of this study is a score of 5 or less on the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE). Patients in a coma or PVS cannot possibly score 1, much less 5. You've probably seen people in the grocery store with a score of 5 or less. So these killings include a wide range of brain damaged people. I wonder how many thousands of people are living with a score of 5 or less. And for every 1,000 people living with a score of 5 or less in the year 2001, 114 of them were starved and dehydrated to death that year.

All I have before me are the percentages. I'd like to see the corresponding numbers. Or would I?

Following is the breakdown by state for 2001. Notice that Rhode Island tops the list, with just over a third of that population exterminated this way. That might have something to do with the fact that RI has appointed the pro-euthanasia group Choice in Dying the official State agency in charge of informing the public about “end-of-life choices.” They supply forms for “living wills” and “assist” the public in filling out those forms. This is what happens when you put the fox in charge of the henhouse.

Believe it or not, Florida and Texas are both below the national average. Every state is on the list. Georgia is at the bottom of the list, exterminating only 1.30% this way.

RI - 33.80%
OR - 32.50%
MI - 28.30%
MT - 28.00%
WI - 27.20%
CA - 23.40%

Facts On Dying ~ This study was funded by The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, who adamantly opposes the rights of vulnerable people to continue living. So if any trolls show up, complaining that the data is skewed in favor of life, check the facts and get back to me.

I said it before she died and I will say it again.
We don't starve someone to death.
We wouldn't do it to a dog.
How in the HELL did we allow this to happen?

The left wanted her dead. They want unborn babies dead. The left wants the elderly dead.
The left wants condemned criminals alive.
No wonder I chose my user name ...
