Jeb (Killer) Bush actually had state troopers on the way to rescue her and turned them back for some perverse reason. Hey, all the post mortems about the election be damned, I can tell you I heard the air hissing out of the Republicans’ balloon upon the killing of Terri Schiavo. Terri is when the Republicans doomed themselves. I have frequently told family members, if any of you is ever badly injured in Florida or Washington state, get out immediately, they are death states.
Terri Schindler was killed through starvation and dehydration. This is one of the most painful and unpleasant ways to die. At Auschwitz, the Nazis killed inmates in this manner to deter escapes. Is it an act of compassion to kill a conscious person in this way?
your attitude is exactly why we get this four years of Obama
here is the answer: you would want to die in that situation, Terri didn’t want to die. Someone forced her death.
you can’t be serious, you would vote for a devil who would let a helpless woman starve to death in the fattest country in the world? You need to start using whatever brains God gave you
What a poignant article. There have only been a few days in 8 years that I have not thought of Terri and the cruel torture that she was put through in her final days. My heart has been permanently scarred because of the savages in our country. We live in a country of barbarians, and they are proud to proclaim themselves as such, under the guise of compassion.
Thanks for posting. R.I.P. Terri.
Milestones - Schiavo, Kelo, Waco
I'm sorry, but I take character into account when I vote for a candidate, and Jeb Bush is wanting in this department. I always vote, and I almost always vote Republican, but I am not a party hack and have voted third party in a few elections in which the GOP nominee failed to measure up.
“Terri Schindler was killed through starvation and dehydration. This is one of the most painful and unpleasant ways to die”
I am not arguing that the methodology used to do this was absolutely wrong and horrific. I never understood the way the the anti death penalty people who work so hard to get rid of drug concoctions that kill in minutes because they are “inhumane, and maybe painful”, were silent during this. Yes I was horrified that they went about this using starvation and dehydration, and that should have never ever been allowed. My main point though, was that the decision to do it in first place would have been a welcome relief to me (and I think anybody)...imagine yourself completely bandaged head to toe so that you could not move, speak, or communicate in any way. After just a few days you would be going batty, now imagine multiple years in that state. Yes, absolutely, they should have used a method that was quick, and painless, and in that part of the story, that was beyond a tragedy.
If that ever happened, then would someone hook me up permanently to Free Republic so I may watch you guys be yourselves and just have a good laugh daily!!
What moral relativism!
Who are you to judge someone’s quality of life? That’s no different than the eugenicists at the Nazimdeath camps. What’s more is your depiction of Terri’s situation isn’t even close to reality. Get your facts straight.
It's easy to have strong opinions about things that have no affect on ones own life.
So lets get this straight: Your problem is with the methodology, not the fact that an American citizen, not guilty or convicted of any crime, was executed by the state? So death by lethal injection would’ve been A-ok with you?
Ok gotcha. By the way, you’re on the wrong forum. FreeRepublic is pro-life.
” FreeRepublic is pro-life.”
DAMN RIGHT
I would not sentence anybody of (almost) any crime imaginable to decades of complete immobility, with the impossibility of communication with anything. There is a reason solitary confinement works. Can’t move, can’t talk, can’t feed yourself, can’t clean yourself, can’t speak, write, paint, create, go to a movie, out to eat, the ocean, turn on the lights, or turn them off, have 0.0% control over anything, anytime, just stuck on the same bed looking at the same walls day after day after day for decades while watching the family members shuffle in and cry, and completely unable to tell a single soul about it.
I would not sentence any person to that.
What sanctimonious crap. Are you now the author of life? Is the state? Because that’s what your argument is.
I hope for your sake that someone doesn’t deem your life unworthy of living someday. Regardless of what you say now, you may not feel the same if & when that day ever comes. Pro-death trolls like you just enable the politicians who will someday hasten your demise. Get a clue.
Me neither. It is a stain on this country not unlike the millions of abortions since the evil Roe v Wade decision.
Of all people, even the Rev Jackson was very outspoken about the Terri Schaivo case.
So you think helpless people who cannot speak for themselves should be executed.
Just so it’s clear to eveyrone what you are saying.
