I pray to give Terri strength to hang on until Jeb or George Bush gets a spine.
Inspite of all the legal mumble-jumble going on these these boards, I worked for the State of California for 28 years and saw many times where the Governor or various State
Legislators personally intervened, often in direct violation of laws and regulations, on the behalf of citizens (One of these Governors was Ronald Reagan). A governor can do almost anything.
Until this Govornor gets a spine I recommend a state boycott.
To: No More Gore Anymore
Explain exactly what Governor Bush can legally do.

Have you been under a rock for the past 24 hours ? The letters from the Thomas Moore Law Center are all over this site. Educate yourself before you start throwing names around buddy.

If Jeb Bush allows Terri Schiavo to die, he can say goodbye to his political future.
Count on it.

A governor can directly come to the aid of any of the State's citizens and is by law required to do so in this case. Read the briefs on the website
To: JohnnyZ
Go to hell.
Fact is, the Governor has the authority to put a stop to this nonsense, especially if he is as pro-life as he claims. All he has to do is call in the Florida National Guard and have Terri removed from that house of horrors that Judge Greer so willingly conspired to place her into (a house with direct connections to Michael Schiavo's "right-to-die" lawyer) and place her into a medical facility where she will be protected from those who only want to kill her. He won't do it because he wants to be seen as a hypocrite and have his re-election chances blown to hell and gone.

Advocates of what? Advocates of human life or advocates of killing the disabled in the name of convenience?

To: Hugin
That defense should hold in the case of Scott Peterson then.
To: Houmatt
or advocates of killing the disabled in the name of convenience?I read it as being allowed to die in the name of dignity and compassion. And now, unfortunately as a result of a court order that never should have been needed.

Thanks for all the links, but someone else already enlightened me as to the de facto prison she now lives in.
What did they do to my America?

What defense? I'm just saying they would not be allowed to take her by hospital security.

"but its harder to believe that a super-selfish person would set themselves up for thirteen years of hospital hell just for a few bucks, or an affair." The husband hasn't been loving her for 13 years and has exhausted all hope. He's been waiting/hoping for her to die for 13 years, which is deplorable. He's stonewalled any sort of attempt at rehabilitation and has instead tried everything (and is now suceeding) to have her die. Obviously he didn't mean it when he said, "in sickness and in health"

I read it as being allowed to die in the name of dignity and compassion. Whose dignity? Whose compassion? Do I have to remind you Terri never specified in writing she did not want to be kept alive via artificial means? Do I have to remind you the woman is in fact breathing on her own, the only thing that is being done artifically is she being fed?
There is NO! REASON! WHATSOEVER! to kill this woman other than her husband wants it! He wants to "get on with his life" and to do that, he wants Terri's ended.
Now, tell me, where in the bowels of hell is the dignity and compassion in THAT!?!

"

"They" began to subvert it about 1790, kicked the teeth out of it in the 1860's, and it's been down hill ever since.

This is terrible. Did I hear correctly that this woman's husband has a girlfriend and they are expecting their second child? Why couldn't he divorce her and the parents would be responsible for her? This sounds like something out of a tabloid, if true.

BTW ...... that wasn't just for you.
That's for all those that wish to read and get a drift on what is and what may not be going on.
Until yesterday I was as dumb as a box of rocks. Thankfully some Freepers had the patience to persuade me to get my mind right.

Because most likly, and IMO ,he tried to strangle her and that is waht has put her in this condition. The parents offered to give him all of the money , he still said no. Dead people can no talk.

This is noy just being "talked about" on conservative threads, I visited TOS, and they are in agreement, just too young (and stupid) kids to activate any positive action to help Terri!!!
Besides all the national and international media!
To those anti- "rights" persons- where is the "dignity" in thirst and starvation?

He wants to "get on with his life" and to do that, he wants Terri's ended. Another crock of crap.
He could simply divorce her and go.
(and don't spout the money lie)
This guy cares for his spouse and is doing, has ben doing what he feels is right.
You have absolutely no say in this, so but out. None of you do!
I find this behavior totally out of line and disgusting.
Stop it!
