Here she is again on our far right. She isn't laughing now.

In a hospice in Pinellas Park, Fla., lives a young woman who is quite alive, yet quite unlike most of you reading these words. Since 1990, she has not been able to swallow or to communicate as most of us do.
However, she smiles and cries, kisses her parents and utters a few simple words. She is not on life support. She receives nutrition through a tube instead of chewing and swallowing. She is not in a coma. She is not in a persistent vegetative state as defined by Florida law.
She is much loved by her loyal parents and other relatives. She is a living human being, one who needs more care than most, but a human being nonetheless. (According to her parents, she left no instructions on how she would want to be treated in such a situation and does not now want to die.)
Yet Michael Schiavo wants his wife, Terri, dead. After winning a considerable amount of money through malpractice lawsuits, Schiavo did not invest the money in his injured wife's rehabilitation, as he had promised.
Instead, he paid lawyers to have her feeding tube removed and so kill her by the slow and awful death of starvation. If his plan succeeds, Michael Schiavo will finally have his way with a wife he long ago abandoned. He now lives with another woman who has had two children by him. Yet he unjustly holds legal authority over Terri's life and death.

Very good. When in doubt, hurl personal insults. Let me think of one for you. On the other hand, no, I won't stoop to your level.
"where affidavits abound testifying to Michael's breathtakingly horrific treatment of Terri the moment the money ( 1.2 million) was in his hands."
None, and I mean absolutely none of the 34 courts this case has been before at one time or another, concur with your viewpoint. So therefore, the courts, including the Supreme Court of the U.S., all the lawyers, social services, the doctors, nurses, who have attested to Terri's treatment, the husband's behavior, her physical state, the condition of her cerebral cortex, in court, upon which the judges made their rulings, must, according to you, be liars. All of them. Get real.
It happens flaglady. I know well from personal experience; particularly when the court has an agenda and/or they want to protect the erroneous decisions of their own.
"I guess you and your sister hold different opinions about Terri."
Yeah, all of them are liars. Must be, because you say so.
"It happens flaglady. I know well from personal experience; particularly when the court has an agenda and/or they want to protect the erroneous decisions of their own."
Had the wrong quote. Here's the one I was responding to in my post to you.
Where did YOU get THAT quote?????????? It certainly isn't mine.
Oh my golly! Here's your warm and cuddly pro-life self. How are things?
"How about it?"
You're silly and hysterical. End of conversation. Tired and your ridiculous comments make me even more tired. The end of March can't come soon enough so that all these Schiavo threads will disappear. So you have about two more weeks to be on the attack. Have fun and good nite.
Barbara Weller's personal account of her visit with Terri is more Truth/Proof of Terri's real ability to respond to those around her.
How can anyone believe Terri should be Starved to Death? She really is on death row. I'm so sad about this.
This has been in front of 34 courts now?
Wow! Where'd you get that little 'tidbit of truth'?
Terri should die because you're tired of these threads?
Wouldn't an easier solution be that you just take your drama somewhere else?
Doug Groothuis was interim Pastor at my church this
past year. He is a superb individual and magnificent teacher.
His involvement is most encouraging!!
Lord, multiply his efforts on Terri's behalf.
"Wouldn't an easier solution be that you just take your drama somewhere else?"
To save my sanity, yes I should get off these Schiavo threads. However, that would feed right into your hands, wouldn't it. You and the other Schiavo supporters. Chase everyone off of these threads, so that there is no other viewpoint than yours. A monologue. The purpose of these kind of forums is to have healthy debate and expressions of different points of view. A one-sided only debate or expression of views is no debate at all.
Chased off the threads, huh? Go ahead and deny that you're not posting anytime you want.

That could be dangerous. How many insane people were guests of the T4 Program?
Unfortunately, it's not been a healthy debate.
