Oh no, I didn't know he killed her cats. Terrible. He is without a conscience. God really does deal with people like that. Schiavo is an animal. What kind of woman would want to be with that? Can you imagine? She must be blind, selfish, or both.

That's the first I'd heard about Terri's cats, too. It's shocking to feel so much disgust but absolutely no surprise at this revelation. I would argue that Michael Schiavo, his girlfriend, Jodi, and her mother are all in more of a persistent vegetative state than Terri ever has been.

I'm waiting to hear confirmable evidence about what really happened with Terri's Bill. In other words, I really want to know if Terri's family was actually told that Byrd was introducing such a bill, or if they heard about Byrd's willingness to support such a bill and in their desperate need to hope they took this to mean such a bill was being written and introduced.

Byrd's office (according to a phone call reported by another FReeper) denies that he was ever involved in writing such a bill. At this point, I suppose the details hardly matter as far as Terri's imminent death by dehydration is concerned.

All I feel I can do for Terri today is pray for God's mercy and His will for her. My heart is breaking with the knowledge that the pain I feel isn't even a minute fraction of what Terri and her family are experiencing at this very moment.
