[Arthur Wildfire! March]

It's a miracle she has survived for so long. I read the deposition of a nurse. Based on that, one can only conclude that her ex-husband is a snake. God bless you, Jeb Bush, and everyone else who's been fighting the good fight.

What I'm pointing out is that this is a wakeup call. We have a chance to see in vivid detail what kind of things will happen if Euthanasia becomes legal.

This is a wake up call and we have such pleasant weather in Tampa Bay. It's easy for us to have rallys, etc. There are more developments at the Terri January Daily Thread that are related to Florida and Pinellas County and re: Dr. Everett Koop's book. I'll ping you over there. Florida's a nice place to visit but the bureaucrats in Tallahassee who protect our tyrannical judges and even the newly fired Elder Affairs Chief leave alot to be desired.

FATHER PAVONE MET TERRI THIS FALL. This is worth repeating in the new year.

Fr. Frank Pavone Visits Terri Schindler-Schiavo

"She talks with her eyes. She's very much aware and alert"

CLEARWATER October 7, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The head of Priests for Life, Fr. Frank Pavone, has visited Terri Schindler-Schiavo in her Florida hospital room. Terri's estranged husband, Michael Schiavo, has complete control over who visits Terri and has severely restricted access by clergy to his disabled wife.

Fr. Pavone was in Florida to speak at the "Celebrate Life" banquet, hosted by Right to Life of Hillsborough County September 18. He visited Terri on the way to his engagement in the company of her priest, Msgr. Thaddeus Malanowski, and her family.

"It was beautiful," Fr. Pavone told his audience at the banquet. "'Many people are praying for you from around the country,' I told her." Lawyers for Michael Schiavo have contended that Terri's eye movements and other responses to voices and other stimuli are not signs of consciousness and that she is in a "permanent vegetative state." However, Fr. Pavone said that he thought Terri showed awareness of his visit. "She was following everything that was going on," he said. "She talks with her eyes. She's very much aware and alert."

The law passed by Governor Jeb Bush to protect Terri from a death of starvation was declared unconstitutional in May by a Florida court on the grounds that it contravened the right to privacy. The governor's office is appealing that decision. Fr. Pavone criticized the judicial system along with the medical establishment for overstepping their bounds. "All these fields have authority," he said, "What they cannot do is put a value judgment on the lives they're caring for. The job of our whole culture is to affirm life."
