Parents rally activists in final battle to keep daughter alive [Terri Schiavo]

Times online.co.uk ^ | 2/21/2005 | Jacqui Goddard

...Mr Schiavo, who lives with a girlfriend by whom he has two children, plans to withdraw the gastric tube through which his wife is fed when a temporary court order barring him expires tomorrow. He insists that his wife once told him that she would not want to be kept alive should she ever suffer brain damage, although he recalled the conversation three years after her collapse and only after winning $1 million in medical negligence damages relating to her early care....

I'm going to Pray your Heaven-Inspired Prayer Out Loud right now, my sister, with all Fervency, and I Beg others to Do the Same. Hear us, Great King, as we Cry Together for Your little one!

CLS WROTE: "They may be surprised when the police decide to SAVE a life?"

It just dawned on me with CLS' comment, I wonder what would happen if the hospice were to catch on fire or if MACE/pepper-spray self-defense protection spray were accidentally sprayed and it got into the A/C system.

Would the firefighters just leave all of the people inside, or would firefighters try to evacuate them to the fresh air? SURELY, firefighters would try to get everyone outside. At least I hope they would.

Wouldn't that just be the PITs for two-timing-father-of-two-bastard-children-possible-BOTCHED-ATTEMPTED-MURDERER-not-legally-qualified-guardian-husband Michael?...

...to have his NOT-PVS-"wife" end up being exposed and seen on the national news as NOT being PVS because the prison he has kept her in had to have an evacuation into the daylight?

Don't laugh. My brother-in-law had one of those self-defense sprays attached to a key ring which he had put in his back pocket at a Doctor's office. He sat back in the chair without thinking about it and the whole place had to be evacuated.

Not sure what you mean by that; this has been an ongoing effort for years by many people on many fronts.

Here are some of the major contact numbers you can use to express your concern. pc93 might have more suggestions for you.

Felos would kill one of the other patients and frame whoever caused the disturbance.

Great letter!!! God Bless Terri and her family. Fight, Terri, fight on!!

If you don't have time to call all of the numbers, please at least call one number (or e-mail). Calling is better than sending an e-mail, but please at least do something.

From a post from Floriduh Voter about A.G. Charlie Crist: FLA AG Crist's staff said to a caller "Crist it the attorney for the STATE, not for individuals." Well, THEN HE BETTER QUIT HELPING THE PARAPLEGIC WHO GOT KICKED OFF A US AIRWAYS FLIGHT. Either you are working for the people or the state and the Fla AG HAS A CIVIL RIGHTS DEPT.
Sun says: It looks like A.G. Charlie Crist is playing politics by choosing which disabled person he wants to help, & which he does not. I guess he thinks that helping a paraplegic is more popular with Florida VOTERS.

ALSO, you can:
PLEASE SIGN PETITION FOR TERRI

Without 11th-hour help Terri Schindler-Schiavo will soon be
starved to death. Husband Michael Schiavo -- thanks to yet
another outrage by an activist judge -- again has a death
sentence from the Florida courts to execute this courageous woman by removing her feeding tube.

Your quick help is needed! Please go to ConservativePetitions.com to see what is at stake not only for Terri but for all Americans.

Here's the address:

Your calls, emails, and prayers are important to Terri. You may have another contact or suggestion that will be helpful. We know that her family appreciates knowing that there is so much support "out there" for Terri.

Beautiful, heart rendering prayer, Pegita. Bless you, and please keep up your beautiful prayers to our Dear Lord. He hears every one. Fight, Terri, fight on!!

"Grace the words of her attorneys as they again approach the bench today ... Surround Terri's family with renewed strength and energy..." Give them wisdom and discernment, but especially, work in the hearts of the judge and opponents so that they finally cannot stand against this appeal for life for one of Your little ones. May Your angels seen and unseen continue to guard, protect, and comfort Terri. We pray continually together night and day before Your Throne in the Name of Jesus -- Amen.

>>(BykrBayb)>> I just caught part of that program on EWTN. I wonder if I can find a transcript somewhere. The Friar said that Terri's Dad kissed her on the cheek, and Terri returned the kiss!!!

Well if Terri's father can now testify that Terri 'returned his kiss' and a CATHOLIC PRIEST can testify that he witnessed it, that should be BREAKING NEWS, and would be NEW STRONG EVIDENCE that a court needs to consider before trying to kill her again!

>>(Fishtalk)>>I can't imagine the public's reaction at footage of this woman slowly starving to death.

Well its not too likely there will be any footage for the public. The husband also wants a quick cremation with NO AUTOPSY!

A neurologist in 2002 reported she has fluid pushing down on her brain and a crushed disk in her neck, and that he had only seen that combination of problems once before... in a STRANGULATION case.

I WROTE: "It just dawned on me with CLS' comment, I wonder what would happen if the hospice were to catch on fire or if MACE/pepper-spray self-defense protection spray were accidentally sprayed and it got into the A/C system."

SUPERCAT RESPONDED: "Felos would kill one of the other patients and frame whoever caused the disturbance."

In my brother-in-law's case, all it took was one squirt of the spray, and that was enough to evacuate the place. I don't think it really endangered anyone, but it was enough to notice something was suddenly wrong with the air.

I'm not sure he actually realized that he was the one who accidentally set off the spray until he got his keys out of his pocket when he got to his car and started to drive away and he noticed his pants were wet at the back pocket.

Can you imagine how mad Feces I mean Felos and two-timing-father-of-two-bastard-children-possible-BOTCHED-ATTEMPTED-MURDERER-not-legally-qualified-guardian-husband Michael would be, though, if Terri's NON-PVS condition was EXPOSED for the FRAUD it is by having Terri and other probably NON-PVS patients EVACUATED to get fresh air???

[Kitty Mittens]

Amen, dear Cyn! Agreeing with your Prayer!

[fiesti]

Praying endlessly for Terri and the terrible state our great nation has come to...Killing babies and they are babies and the disabled. terri has not even been given a fighting chance in the courts...I hope every monstor who is involved with this ends up starving to death and has nightmares every night if they succeed in this murder...I do believe in miracles...Oh please God we need one

[AnimalLover]

Just had a thought. Short of putting together a raiding
party to take Terri to a neutral hospital (Walter Reed?)
how about contacting Hillary Clinton. I know she would
love to gain the Catholic vote - can you imagine the
great publicity she'd get, not to mention Bill, saving
Terri and investigating Michael? And, if they knew
Judge Greer and friends were Republicans --- well?

Someone in New York know how to get ahold of her fast?

I have been up writing letters to thank people for their columns this morning. Barbara at WND and a woman at GOPUSA wrote some good ones. But then I found this. Can you ping it please, so we can write in and correct this garbage?

[MarMema]

Wesley J. Smith has defined this time period as significant. We are in the part of the process where debate takes place. It begins in the medical profession, and has been going on there for years, and then moves to the public. We're now in the public debate portion of the process. Geeze, it's been years since I read this in one of his books, but I have the gist of it down here.

What I am trying to say is we need to write and write, not just to Jeb to save Terri but also to newspapers and online news outlets, to save ourselves and our children, too.

Michael is driven solely by vengence toward the Schindlers, he doesn't even care about what he might be doing to the rest of the Floridians at stake, only about Michael, that is what his life is all about, Michael, Michael.
How would you like to walk into a doctors office or the place he now works and have him hand you the form to fill out? I left, I'd do without medical care before I'd be any where near his selfish ability to kill rather than consignment to unconditional love. Besides, he would in a medical establishment have the ways and the means to kill anyone just as he is killing Terri.

[curiousmind]

Hilter and Felos both did and do! Felos thinks the Holocaust was a good thing for the world. The man's book is the rantings of the seriously demented soul.
