Thank you for your report of what happened in yesterday's legislative session. I just hope it's not too late for Terri. I'm afraid that the massive doses of morphine they are giving her will be her undoing. But . . . miracles still happen.

[Tax-chick]

Yes, she's obviously dying now, at least until she's fed again (and maybe dying no matter what, after all this time.)

It's unsettling that the news keeps reporting "coma," "life support," "let her die," and all that, when (until the last few days) none of this had anything to do with Terri's situation. I know they're just repeating what her common-law-ex-husband and his (numerous expletives deleted) lawyer are saying, but still ...

I'm especially disappointed with Fox, because they've had Terri's family and the videos, etc., on their commentary shows, but their "news" side still has this erroneous data. How could they NOT report accurate information here, except through explicit bias?

In television, sex sells. And the Bryant story has legs... it will be all over the news programs, and the sports commentary. America's attention span has dwindled so much that it is impossible for people to remain "on target", unless we are entertained.

Sandy, what is FNC email address?
I want to ask them not to refer to MC as Terri's husband........he is her estranged husband".

[NYer]

Please bump your friends!!

How about..."Michael Schiavo, Terri's legal husband, but one who's been openly adulterous and has fathered two children in his blatant affair?"

[AFPhys]

Praise God! ... Still Praying that this woman recover.

Please, FLSenate: act NOW!

I wrote Gov. Bush about my own Grandmother who had a stroke and could only move her eyes. We don't know for sure what she knew or didn't know; but her eyes followed you and my grandfather who was wheelchair bound, with some wonderful help from nurses took care of her. She never went into a home or anything like that. I know Terri's family would do the same. I pray that Terri will make it and I know God is at her side.

[shhrubbery!]

The mainstream secular media dropped the ball on this long ago by shilling for the culture of death.

Absolutely. I can't begin to count the many AP articles about Terri where subtle phrasing was used to convey the idea that Terri should be "allowed" to die, or "let" die.

That's not to mention the gazillions of outright lies --the news articles and radio and television reports that claim Terri is "unconscious," "comatose" or "in a coma" for thirteen years.

>> "Michael Schiavo, Terri's legal husband, but one who's been openly adulterous and has fathered two children in his blatant affair?"

Good start, but needs more information:

"Michael Schiavo, Terri's legal husband, but one who's been openly adulterous and has fathered two children in his blatant affair, who is himself a possible suspect in the injuries she suffered, who has a large financial interest in Terri's death and has no evidence for his claim that she wants to die, who has used funds intended for her therapy to prevent her from receiving medical aid, and who wants to prevent an autopsy on her body..."

[T'wit]

Matthew, Chapter 25, is right to the point.

[incindiary]

What is the latest?? Its noon in Fl, hasn't the Senate voted on this yet?

thanks!

[diamond6]

I agree, and we ALL should let them know how we feel.

[oreolady]

bump up

[ChemistCat]

bump to the top.

God help the Florida Senators who will have THREE MEALS and who knows how much to drink today before they vote on this.

She was supposedly still alert last night when the House had voted. Had the Senate stood ready to vote then, perhaps we wouldn't be looking at organs shutting down.

I wouldn't want to be them. I would not.

[fatidic]

Update thanks. I am heartsick over Terri's death by dehydration. Every time I drink a glass of water I pray for her.

Haven't heard any ruckus made by the Catholic church. Can't understand why a massive mobilization, a literal storming the gates of hell with massive civil disobedience to protest this heinous decree was not instigated. It seems that rational arguments don't hold as much sway as emotional go-for-broke demonstrations.
