a family matter

A family matter? A family matter? A family matter? Where did you decide that this is a "family matter"? That must have come from O'Reilly or ABC Radio?

Since when is murder a "family matter"?

First, I do not listen to Bill O'Reilly. Our family does not own a television. We do not listen to ABC Radio either. Second, any decisions I have made about this have come from my own reading and observing the sometimes infantile behavior of this woman's advocates on FR.

Third, I can understand that sensationalism sells in this media-driven age, but why is this "murder"? I have seen that word thrown around, but fail to understand why.

If a couple decide to use birth control to prevent the implantation of an embryo when informed that another pregnancy could kill the mother, would you have the state intervene to compel the woman to go forward with the pregnancy? While that case would certainly have moral ramifications. I would classify that as a family matter. To be consistent, you would have to call for state intervention.

If my child is maintained on a respirator and it is concluded that he will never come off of that machine, would it be "murder" to decide to take that child off the respirator? Should the governor be called in to prevent the father from taking the painful course of watching his child die? I would suggest that was a family matter. To be consistent, you would have to call for state intervention.

I would suggest that you spend less time throwing loaded phrases and rhetoric around and calmly and objectively describe her medical condition for those of us who spend twleve hours a day at work, then come home to have dinner with our children and read to them every night before they go to bed. Many, of us, have not followed this story like you have.

Finally, if our sovereign God desires to preserve the mortal life of this poor woman, He can sustain her or raise her from her bed. Your energy and anger appear to be hopelessly and helplessly misdirected. Even if unrighteousness finally prevails, what do expect in a world full of sinners?

( Bush tries?)

Posted on Thu, Oct. 09, 2003 http://www.philly.com/mld/inquirer/news/local/states/pennsylvania/counties/chester_county/6966709.htm
“Bush argued that to remove the feeding tube without first trying to get Terri Schiavo to eat and drink on her own would violate her right to life under the Florida and federal Constitutions.”
