This writer is insulting on so many levels ( towards Trump especially) I don’t know where to begin...
Suffice to say...........Jeb’s convenient memory lapse cannot whitewash his direct and murderous act in condemning Terri to death.
I will always remember how her parents fought to keep her alive.....to take her home with them.....
...anyone with a shred of decency should have wanted to be on the side of the angels.....AND JEB WASN’T!
If I remember correctly, the parents weren’t even allowed to being a vase of flowers into the room because Jeb/ authorities were afraid they would use the water for Terri’s thirst!!!!!
Yes, they wouldn’t even let her have water!
Can you imagine living in America and watching your daughter die of thirst!
I don’t know where the flowers came from, but Fr. Pavone said there was a vase of flowers beside her death bed.
“Terri had not received a drop of water in nearly two weeks. As I reached out my hand to touch hers, I could also reach it out to touch the vase of flowers that was next to her, and that vase was filled with water,” Pavone recalls. “The flowers were nourished; Terri was deprived of nourishment. Court orders saw to it that none of us could give her some of the water that nourished the flowers.” http://www.lifenews.com/2015/03/31/ten-years-ago-today-terri-schiavo-lived-her-last-day-then-she-was-starved-to-death/
So yeah, there was water in the room, but not for Terri. There was food in the room, also not for Terri. Her estranged husband and other enemies had a pizza party over her dying body.
From Jeb’s perspective, it was all just a political game. When he thought it would benefit him politically, he supported Terri. When he thought siding with her would hurt his career, he turned on her.
Her mom wasn’t even allowed to put lip balm on her daughter’s dry cracked lips. An officer in the room leapt across the room to grab it from her before she could put it on Terri’s lips, and informed her that she and any others would be arrested if it were attempted again.
