STOP BASHING THE BUSHES OVER TERRI!

Posted on 03/29/2005 8:59:46 AM PST by Kings18-37

GET THIS OUT OF POLITICS!

Please stop bashing everyone, even Greer. It’s not going to save Terri. What’s done is done , for now.

The only thing that will save Terri is massive bipartisan support- a MERCY COALITION- among ALL Americans.

Don’t pressure and call our allies (Pubs), because they are either with us, or the Rinos are under the covers. It’s a waste of time.

Instead, reach out and call to people like Lieberman, Jackson, Harkin, Nader, and even Barney Franks- a bi-partisan coalition.

. Today, Pinkerton wrote in Newsday, “Opinion polls tell us that most Americans don't think that politicians should have gotten involved in this case. Fair enough. But the facts of Schiavo v. Schindler tell us something else: The law is an ass.

Whatever the legalisms of this case, it's hard to believe that anyone ever envisioned a situation in which an estranged husband could make the decision to kill off - oops, make that "dehydrate" to death - his unconscious wife, overriding the strenuous opposition of the woman's parents and siblings.

Lawmakers are scrambling to catch up. On the conservative side, Sen. Mike Enzi (R-Wyo.) has announced plans for hearings on the Schiavo case. His interest is to preserve what Catholics call "the culture of life." But liberals, notably Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.), are also anxious to explore the impact that the Schiavo case might have on the rights of the disabled. In politics, whenever the right and the left identify the same problem - even if they use different terminology things are certain to change”

MAKE THAT CHANGE NOW! APPEAL to DEMS in the sense of mercy and compassion. ONLY if we get their support, can we save Terri! We already have the Pubs.

WE CAN DO IT!

NEVER GIVE UP! NEVER GIVE UP! NEVER! NEVER! NEVER! Churchill

Not bad for a vanity. I would agree it is nobody's fault, but everybody's fault. We have created this mess ourselves and we will have to fix it. It isn't appropriate for us to elect a Chief Exec and expect him to solve all our problems. Even if the Chief rode in on a white horse in this case to the degree some want it still wouldn't resolve the underlying problem.

REST,

They're getting a clue. I just got back to the Board, and haven't had a chance to read it, but the thread says something about other senators jumping on board the "Mercy Coalition"- that I talk about in this thread.

Praise God, I knew it would happen if somehow it could just get started.

This will help Jeb and GWB do God''s work. Just hope it happens quick enough. Hang on Teri, help coming!

God Blesss, my friend

A WORD FROM DRACULA....

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
> Published on: 03/29/05
PINELLAS PARK, Fla. — The questions that have so deeply divided Terri Schiavo's family during the last years of her life could be settled with an autopsy.

George Felos, attorney for Michael Schiavo, said Monday his client had requested a post-mortem examination on his wife, whose feeding tube was removed 11 days ago. Pinellas County's chief medical examiner will perform the autopsy, Felos said.

The attorney said he expected the autopsy to show the "full and massive extent" of damage to Terri Schiavo's brain after a 1990 heart attack that may have been brought on by an eating disorder.

David Gibbs, a lawyer representing the 41-year-old woman's parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, said, "The family wants a full understanding of what happened back in 1990."

"We'd like that while she's still alive but when she does pass into eternity, we'd like an autopsy," he said. "I'm glad they suggested it."

Some of the unanswered questions come from the very different accounts the two sides of Terri Schiavo's bitterly divided family have given about her condition, especially since her feeding tube was removed March 18 under court order.

At midday Monday outside the Woodside hospice where his daughter lies, Bob Schindler appealed to "the powers that be" to save her.

Schindler described his daughter as "very, very, very weak," but said, "I hug her and I kiss her and she's reacting to that. She's trying to talk."

He also said she is "begging for help" and "fighting like hell to live."

But Felos, who visited Schiavo on Monday afternoon, said she was "very calm, very relaxed and very peaceful." He said she was showing only involuntary responses to stimuli.

Felos said Schiavo's eyes were closed when he entered her room, but opened when he touched her cheek. He said she also showed "primitive auditory reflexes" in responding instinctively to sound.

"There is no cognitive reaction by Mrs. Schiavo," Felos said. "She's exhibiting what she's exhibited for the last 15 years."

For much of that period, her family has been engaged in a tug-of-war over her fate. Her husband says she had told him she would not want to be kept alive artificially. Her parents say her strong Catholic faith would have prevented her from making that choice.

Years of litigation over removal — and then restoration — of the feeding tube went as high as the U.S. Supreme Court, which rejected the case.

Felos said he spent more than an hour in Schiavo's room Monday. "Soft, soothing" music was playing, he said, and the room was decorated with flowers, stuffed animals and a foot-tall white angel.

He said he reviewed Schiavo's medical charts with hospice nurses, who described her pulse as "thready" and said she had had no urine output since Sunday night.

On the other hand, he said, "Her breathing is not labored and her skin tone is fine."

Doctors predicted she would probably die within two weeks of the tube's removal. It had been removed and restored twice before, but she has never been without it this long.

Felos said Schiavo had twice been given 5-milligram doses of morphine, once March 19 and again Saturday.

A nurse's notes from the second dose recorded that the drug was administered in response to "slight moans, grimacing and tensing of the arms," Felos said.

Bob Schindler expressed "a grave concern" earlier Monday that the hospice staff would "expedite the process to kill her with an overdose of morphine."

Felos responded: "There's no place for statements that the hospice is going to hasten Terri's death. That's not true at all."

Outside the hospice, the crowd of demonstrators was smaller and quieter than over the weekend, down to a few dozen from a peak of about 300.

The feud between the Schindler family and Michael Schiavo runs so deep that Terri Schiavo had two sacramental blessings on Easter Sunday.

A hospice chaplain and Monsignor Thaddeus Malanowski, a friend of the Schindler family, administered the Roman Catholic rite for the dying, including communion, in the presence of Bobby Schindler and Suzanne Vitadamo, Terri Schiavo's siblings.

The chaplain blessed and anointed her again without communion while Michael Schiavo was with her, Felos said.

Restor,my friend,

Drop it, We're in a whole new ball game. If Terri can hang on, just like this thread says, the Mercy Coalition is on the way to save her. I don't know if you read, but Jackson has already changed 2 Black votes in the Fla Legislature- That means we're 1 short of passing legslation to say Terri.

We'll have pleanty on time AND FUN getting back at these guys, but this is not the time. Promote the Mercy Coalition, my friend- and we'll save Terri's life. Pray she can hang on!

Regards

I like the name - Mercy Coalition. I don't care who's on it - I just hope they can save her. I have been very depressed by the attitudes I have heard expressed and I wonder if we, as a country, have collectively decided to give up the one thing that made us distinctive, the respect for the individual human life.

I hope people can forget their parties and their sides and come together to save one woman who is the victim of a terrible miscarriage of justice.

Sorry but this late grandstand I am not buying Jackson should have been here last week he knew the situation...he waited way beyond to do good even if he gets this restored this delay in time most likely caused organ damage!

I am not buying no matter how this turns out!

I won't let Jackson play with my head!!

This ploy of Jackson is like-

"Self-serving love" which says 'I love you because I need you to build up my image!

RESTORE, an ironic name in this situation. Please don't let the forces of cynicism overtake your heart and soul.

The Lord works in mysterious ways. The fact that Terri is still alive is a miracle.

For as long as God allows her to live, put your faith in God's hand- Don't waste your time on Jesse.

Spend your time praying to God, join the Mercy Coalition, and pray that Terri hangs on so that the Truth can be revealed.

NEVER GIVE UP! NEVER GIVE UP! NEVER! NEVER! NEVER! Churchill
