TERRI SCHIAVO MARCH 2005 DAILIES Fla's Til of the Hun Sets March Date to Starve Terri

Judge George Greer denied Terri's parents' Motion for a Stay to protect their daughter's life while there are still pending issues in this LIFE AND DEATH MATTER. In addition the Department of Children and Family Services made a surprise visit to the court hearing the other day and asked Judge Greer if they could approach the bench. Judge Greer denied DCF the opportunity to speak. DCF asked for 60 days to conduct a complete investigation of allegations that have surfaced in the form of a Complaint to their agency.

What was set in motion instead? On Friday, February 25th, Judge Greer REFUSED TO issue another Stay because he was "not comfortable" issuing a say to protect a Ward of the State but instead "set a date certain" (on his calendar at least, not on mine) to BEGIN THE BARBARIC, ANTI-AMERICAN, STARVATION-DEHYDRATION SLOW MURDER OF TERRI.

Attorney Gibbs for Terri's parents held a press conference after J. Greer's order that was so tastefully written to indicate that "he was giving the Schindlers until March 18th so they could "prepare for Last Rites." Attorneys Gibbs called this ruling and prior rulings "Hitler-resque". Indeed.

If Judge Greer wasn't LEGALIZING EUTHANASIA in his courtroom, why any need for Last Rites? Greer's urgency to fulfill this killing places urgency on every one of us to lobby Governor Bush, Florida's House and Florida's Senate.

A Judge in America is ordering the manner of someone's death, a disabled woman who is healthy but needs rehabilitation.

Time is short so we don't really have time to get into Greer's mind to see why he is Florida's Til of the Hun.

FOLLOW THE SQUEEZED BICEPS: [Rod Dreher] An orthodox priest and Corner devotee writes this morning to say St. Petersburg Bishop Robert Lynch's case is more significant than many reporters may realize. If Lynch really is a homosexual and a sexual harrasser, as has been claimed, it casts suspicion on his years as General Secretary of the national Catholic bishops' conference, where he was a favorite of the late Cardinal Bernardin. Moreover, after Bishop Symons of Palm Beach resigned after admitting to pederasty, Bishop Lynch took over that diocese as administrator, and helped pick Symons' successor, Bishop Anthony O'Connell -- who just resigned after admitting to homosexual abuse of seminarians. Can you say "lavender mafia"? Hey reporters, follow that trail of Lynch-squeezed biceps!

OF BICEPS AND BISHOPS: [Rod Dreher] Here's the very latest on Bishop Lynch's fine mess down in Florida. In this morning's Tampa Tribune, he says his press secretary's claim of constant sexual harrassment was one big misunderstanding. "Do I wish I didn't feel his biceps? Yes," says the bishop, ungrammatically. The alleged victim, a married man who received a $100,000 "severance" package from the diocese, says he struggled for years over whether or not he should tell anyone what His Excellency was up to. "I thought: Who would believe me? He's the bishop." Next time Florida reporters confront the Bish, they should ask him, "We know you were celibate, but have you also been chaste?" No theological weasel words!

Religious groups take a leading role in Schiavo right-to-die case

PINELLAS PARK, Fla.- When the Rev. Ed Martin decided to take to the streets to demonstrate on behalf of saving a brain-damaged Terri Schiavo, he picked up a sign he usually carries when he protests outside abortion clinics.

He said the message _ "Life, the first inalienable right" _ was just right.

Christian conservatives opposed to abortion have taken a leading role in the right-to-die dispute, saying they see identical moral issues at stake.

During the past few years they have injected themselves into the fray with enthusiasm that intensifies each time a new date for removing Schiavo's feeding tube nears. They are backing Schiavo's parents, who are fighting to keep her alive.

"We believe life begins at conception and ends at natural death," said the 59-year-old Martin, a Protestant minister who has found himself demonstrating next to disability-rights activists. "God gives life, and God only can take life."

Religious activists show up at court hearings and demonstrate outside the Pinellas Park hospice where Schiavo lives. Religious organizations such as the Catholic Medical Association regularly speak out for her and deluge Gov. Jeb Bush and lawmakers with thousands of e-mails and phone calls.

Randall Terry, founder of the anti-abortion group Operation Rescue, coordinates many of the protests and has become a spokesman for Schiavo's parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, who say they are grateful. The Vatican also has weighed in, saying last week that Schiavo should be kept alive.

The family's attorneys _ who are being paid by anti-abortion group Life Legal Defense Foundation _ filed another flurry of legal motions this week trying to again block the removal of Schiavo's feeding tube, now set for March 18.

"It's two sides of the same coin _ the fundamental right to life, which has already been taken away from unborn children by a judicial process, and now, right-to-life of a handicapped adult is facing the same threat," said the Rev. Thomas Euteneuer, a Roman Catholic priest who heads the Virginia-based anti-abortion group Human Life International and demonstrated in front of the hospice last week.

The Schindlers have been fighting their son-in-law in court for almost seven years over their daughter. Michael Schiavo wants to pull the tube and let his 41-year-old wife die, saying she told him she would never want to be kept alive artificially. Her parents dispute that and say she could improve with therapy.

Schiavo has been in what the court has ruled is a persistent vegetative state since her heart stopped temporarily in 1990 because of what doctors believe was a chemical imbalance brought on by an eating disorder. She can breathe on her own but gets food and water through a tube in her abdomen.

Her parents vehemently dispute that she is without consciousness, as some doctors have testified. Her eyes are open, she makes sounds, and her family believes she communicates with them.

Jana Carpenter, a nurse and a Catholic who belongs to a local anti-abortion group, has become a familiar sight at Schiavo court hearings and demonstrations since 2000.

"If you believe in God, you don't believe in knocking off people like Terri Schiavo," she said.

Howard Simon, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Florida, laments the influence that religious groups have wielded.

After strong lobbying from religious groups in 2003, the governor pushed a law through the Legislature authorizing him to reinsert Schiavo's feeding tube, which had been removed on orders from a judge. The law was later ruled unconstitutional.

"The concern I have is on their influence in shaping public policy," Simon said. "We've already seen that in the influence they have on the governor."

For Euteneuer and others, Schiavo has become a powerful figure.

"With the unborn children, you can't see the victim," the priest said. "Euthanasia now has a face. We're fighting for the same right to life for Terri as for the unborn."
