==I hate to see people use the phrase "allowed to die" in this case. Causing her to die does not equal allowing her to die.

Me too. Try this line from her husband's attorney on for size:

“It is simply inhumane and barbaric to interrupt her death process,” Felos said. “Just because Terri Schiavo is not conscious doesn’t mean she doesn’t have dignity.”

Oh, to be a fly on the wall in Felos' office...

Michael Schiavo's lawyer wants restraining order against Governor ...

In reference to the estranged husband.

Nice to have two pro-life stories on the same day.

Do you have a link to the complaint? I couldn't find it on the website.

[cpforlife.org]

It's not there yet. I don't know how she does press releases on her site.

[tutstar]

evidently they're banking on Felos raking in some dough from writing a book about Terri, so they trust fund money is probably pocket change by now....

[TaxRelief]

Who is the second judge that Michael Schiavo is appealing to ? Let's make sure he has all the details (hee, hee)!

[SerpentDove]

Let them make a

BIG STINK

about this.

This is the type of issue that, the more publicity it gets, the more public attention turns in FAVOR of Terri Schiavo and AGAINST Michael and his attorney.

This does not bear up well under public scrutiny. Why do you think the media has tried so hard to keep this under wraps?

So go ahead Michael. Make a

BIIIIIIIIIG STINK!!!

[cpforlife.org]

That WILL be a part of the program.

[MomwithHope]

Thank you for all you have done. We continue to pray for Terri and her family. I am relieved to hear her husband is not her legal guardian at present. This case is about LIFE, LOVE and JUSTICE.
Justice for Terri - hopefully a turning point and a more loving and caring environment and a chance at rehabilitation.
Justice for her husband - to be dealt out by a higher authority

[Salvation]

BTTT for life and NO euthenasia!

Personal Note to our Readers:

From Debi Vinnedge, Executive Director



Children of God for Life has followed the case of Terri Schiavo for over two years when the matter was brought to our attention at a local Clearwater meeting of the group, Physicians for Excellence in Health Care. Although Terri's plight was occurring in our own back yard, we had no idea of the facts of this case, thanks to the local media that did a marvelous job of concealing the truth from the public. When I watched the video of Terri interacting with her mother, every lie I had been told about Terri was laid bare and refuted. As a mother, I watched and heard - heartsick - as this child interacted with her own mom and I wondered, how could anyone think for one moment that this young woman who smiled and tried to talk when her mother spoke, who moved her head and eyes - whose feeding tube was the only life support she used - was somehow classified as a person in a "coma" - or a "persistive vegetative state"? And then I heard the testimony of Dr. William Hammesfahr who showed in accurate medical facts how Terri had the ability to recover a great deal of the normal lifestyle that any one of us enjoy, but unfortunately, that much needed therapy was being denied by the husband that had promised a jury 10 years ago to do just that.



I strongly urge you to read Terri's ordeal and the gross injustice that has been inflicted upon this woman, who never had any sort of living will and who never has given up on her will to live. You may have read that Terri would never have wanted to be kept alive by artificial means. That is what the husband told the courts - right after he was awarded 1.2 million dollars. We can tell you this much...Terri never said she wanted to be starved to death - and that is exactly what the courts have tried to do. She can eat, she can swallow, she can say some words - very clearly - and she laughs, smiles and cries and reacts with great joy and love when her parents, her siblings and her priest visit her.

On October 21st, the following complaint was filed with Attorney General John Ashcroft and although her feeding has now resumed due to the new law passed overwhelmingly by the Florida House and Senate on October 20th and 21st respectively, her battle is not yet over. Michael Schiavo is still the legal guardian and no criminal investigation has ever been done to determine whether he may have brought about the mysterious injuries that resulted in her present condition.

There is a part of me that just wants to go "OT" on the boy....
(Meaning Old Testament)

[sfRummygirl]

Thanks for all the pings, Nick....ya sick freak...

[Coral Snake]

Good start but I think you should add a little detail I founs whole reading an article about the hospice where Terri was nearly dehydrated to death. It turns out that it is a violation of FEDERAL LAW to even admit a NON TERMINAL CASE no matter how disabled they might be to hospice care.

Do ya'll believe in Miracles? Remember this quote:

"Theresa Maria's hands and forehead"

I believe she will be just fine.

[cpforlife.org]

LOL - leave our buddy alone!

[hocndoc]

I believe in miracles, and this last week has proved just a few of many to come for Terry.
I'll bet there were doctors and nurses just aching for the chance that the Florida legislature gave them today.
May God bless Terry and her family.
