Posted on 10/16/2003 9:46:46 AM PDT by pollywog

I chose to put this on Breaking News because it just came on as Breaking NEWS on her website. PLEASE ,PLEASE go to the website http://www.terrisfight.org and read the letters that have just been sent to Jeb Bush in regards to the Terri Schiavo case. JEB BUSH can LEGALLY STOP THIS. CALL his office, CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES, CALL and email the media.THE CLOCK is ticking to save her life.

Sorry if this post isn't " polished" and " refined" but I am not a seasoned " poster" here on FR.

Crisis situations bring out the best and the worst in people--they bring out the truth.

Thanks for your kind words.

They are heartfelt believe me. I am a fighter and I never have stood by and let someone get away with hurting someone else or use underhanded tactics like they were/are.

We should all keep an eye out for huck and strela to be posting elsewhere with more propaganda from the teats of Soros.

Let's be sure they don't post without contradiction.

huck in particular seems fond of Howard Dean in his past posts..

Fight the Death Merchants

EternalVigilance!! What a gift God has given you. If I didn't know better I would say you were my sister!! LOL! She is such a creative poet and even " talks" in poetic sentences. I am sure we are spiritual sisters though! Thanks for the poem.

ps.It is after 1:00am on the West Coast and I cannot sleep. I just am here praying and singing to God.

I was also especially intrigued by huck's posts on the topic of hospices, he seems to know a lot about them....
Be sure to look at them yourself and see if they ring any bells for you.

I have a big problem with people who think they have the right to order others to stay alive, even when they don't want to and in spite of the pain they might be in.

We have something to agree on! YOU have a big problem! Most of the people on this thread are not ordering others to stay alive if they don't want to or in spite of the pain they might be in. We are discussing that because Terri didn't leave her wishes in writing, how can anyone be sure what her wishes are...for or against dying!

"Your child, your choice"


This callous remark betrays your true colors, I'm afraid.

Very reminiscent of the ghoulish Professor Peter Singer of Princeton, who argues that parents should be free to kill their own children, up to some indeterminate age.


From a PBS interview with Peter Singer, conducted by Bob Abernathy:

BA: I suppose the idea and the thing that you have written that has provoked the most controversy -- at least . . . around here -- is the idea of it being all right under some circumstances to take the life of a newborn child. Would you say just as clearly and precisely as you possibly can what your position is on that?

PS: There are some disabled infants born with conditions so severe that doctors don't really try to keep them alive. They allow them to die essentially through benign neglect. But that can be a very slow process. In my view, if that decision is justified -- and I think it can be -- then with the consent and support of the parents -- and only then -- I think it would be justifiable to help that infant to die -- in other words, to take active steps to end that infant's life more swiftly and more humanely.

BA: You . . . said in a quote that has showed up in many places since that, "Killing a defective infant is not morally equivalent to killing a person. Sometimes it is not wrong at all." You want to expand on that a little bit here?

PS: Well as I used the term "person" -- a "person" is a being who is capable of anticipating a future, having wants and desires for the future, which are cut off, thwarted, if that person is killed. And I think that is generally a greater wrong than it is to kill a being who has no sense of existing over time. And that might be, for example, a chicken has no sense of existing over time. And that, I think, is one reason why it's normally worse to kill a human being than to kill a chicken. But also, of course, newborn babies have no sense of their own existence over time. So, it's not equivalent. Killing a newborn baby -- whether able-bodied or not -- I think, is never equivalent to killing a being who wants to go on living. It's different. It's still -- almost always wrong, but it's different, anyway. The cases where it's not wrong, I think, are those cases where the parents and doctors, in consultation to prevent the child from suffering from a severe disability, decide that that's the best thing for the child; that the child should not live. And then, I think, sometimes humanely killing the child is a kinder, more compassionate thing to do than allowing the child to waste away through a kind of benign neglect.

It's 4:00 am here, and I know what you're talking about.

Alot of progress was made in the last twenty-four hours in terms of shaking some very big political and legal trees.

We just need continue to pray that it will be effective, and in time to help this poor, defenseless young woman.

I will sing and pray with you for awhile. We can lift the pain and suffering from Terri, because there are two of us.

Oh he is someone all right, I think. But I am not sure which ghoul just yet. We need the team to show up in the morning and look at the facts....and his past posts, which have lots of clues.

I was getting tired of reading their posts and the fact that I am not one to back down, I had to help.

Yeah, notice how Huck would never divulge where he read his info on Terri's lack of cerebral cortex? There's something a little odd about that...

He is someone who has seen the "films" which supposedly say Terri has no cerebral cortex, perhaps, but had to be told what they meant. Or just read the reports of the films and bought it all.

And perhaps does volunteer or other work in a hospice, has spent some time in one. Likes Howard Dean....his mother died of cardiac complications.....put it all together and some of the whizzes on FR will nail this ghoul soon.

I don't think he got his info from the idiot columnist blonde at StPeteTimes, though, nor her "ethics" ghoul
speaking from "public record".

And also remember to think about using the German version of Huckleberry Finn, cause there is probably some meaning in that as well. A clue perhaps.
