This may be the first time I have read a connection between Griswold v. Connecticut and Schiavo.

But, I’m not sure such a connection would help the Schiavo case.

It is instances such as this that bring out my sinful nature. Because my answer to the following question is yes.

Should Judge Greer and all of those who hastened such a horrendous death on Terri be subjected to the same misery?

George W Bush, the most powerful man in the world “couldn't” stop her murder. Like Pontus Pilot, GWB washed his hands of the whole situation.

Bush pro life, my a.s.a.

This is the biggest gripe I have with George Bush . . . the fact that he let the state of Florida deliberately starve this American woman to death . . . I was waiting for him to show some balls to go down there with a team of marines, kick his way into the facility where she was being murdered, drag her out with cameras running, and move her into the White House or some other safe place.

To think that this illegal alien is doing all this bull crap to us without even being eligible to be the President and then George W WAS a legitimate president, but was afraid to show any guts to save this woman’s life.

I’ll never forgive Bush for that!

me neither. it was a horrible roller coaster ride. every turn was met with evil. glenn beck was at the memorial. the family asked all speakers to remain composed. this was the first time i saw glenn beck in person. he blubbered like a baby along with the other hundreds of us. we had no “body”. the ex would not allow it. i will NEvER EVER forget. .

GW was president but Jeb was gov. of that state if I do recall correctly. I am not sure what presidential power GW had but Jeb could have done something this we do know and he did nothing.

I know I will be flamed on this. But assuming she was conscious of her surroundings (which there is ample evidence she was not), I could think of absolutely no worse Torture with a capital T that can be inflicted upon another human being, than to be permanently stuck in a bed, unable to communicate, unable to feed oneself, clean oneself, be able to go walking on a warm summer day, go have an ice cream, travel, play with the kids, unable to do one single thing we take for granted every single day of our lives. The inability to communicate alone would within a couple weeks alone would have frustrated me far beyond the threshold of insanity. Imagine yourself in this prison (a prison far worse than prison itself, where at least you can communicate, move, feed yourself, and clean yourself), day after day, month after month, year after year. Unable to work, or create, or add to the human experience in any way. Hell you can’t even put whatever TV show you want on.

I would be forever angry and condemn any member of my family to hell for forcing me to live through that. Not to mention the hell and turmoil, and financial hardships my family would go through for decades. Just shoot me between the eyes, be done with it, then the family could move on, and remember me for what I was instead of an inanimate object wasting away in a bed for decades.

It is far greater act of compassion, to end absolute unendurable torture like that, assuming the person is conscious of their surroundings.

Flame away

If Jeb Bush gets the GOP nomination for president in 2016, I will probably write in Terri Schindler in November.

Not to mention, there is no way of knowing whether they are in continuous excruciating pain, as they have no way of telling you.

My company is relocating to a complex just down the street from where Terri was killed.

If Terri had put all this in writing before she got ill I personally would not be harping on this subject right now. I still would not like it any better but at least I would know it was her decision. You will NEVER convince me that this was her decision for only one reason and that is she did not make a living will. Her family offered to care for her the rest of her life and take her off her husband’s hands. Therefor I see what her husband did is pure and simple murder.
