{...the ONLY person who ever "heard" Terri say she'd want to die just happens to be Michael ?}

Hearsay testimony from Terri's serial philanderer husband will kill her.

The planks are being laid. Soon, everyone who is invalid and hospitalized will be at risk of murder by greedy relatives, hospitals, and insurers, who will use the courts to their convenience -- either making money via insurance claims or saving money via forgone treatment.

Thanks for the reference that DeLay isn't Catholic, but Baptist. He should be adamantly pro-life, considering his faith.

Larry is taking her side? Well good for him!

Yeah, Terri is his whole life. If you forget his lover and children. Though to be fair maybe she is his whole life. he's devoted an extensive amount of his life to attempting to destroy hers.

Thanks for your comments! Very nice of you. I refuse to watch Larry King. I am subject to uncontolled fits of outrage. Want to spare myself severe upset as much as possible.

A little civil disobedience goes a long way, and it's long past overdue.

What a story! God bless. And ditto your statement regarding Terri, repeated below:

What Terri needs is people who love her, care for her and those who won't give up up her. Terri may never come back from that place where she is at now, but she needs to be given the chance.

Very well said.

Consider the context.

Terri's attorney warned Terri that if she wanted to live, she had better say so because the ghouls were preparing to take her life. Terri immediately made loud sounds in response.

Common sense tells you that if she were happy with the ghouls' decision, she would have made no noise at all.

What in God's name is going on here about Terri Schaivo?! Why are there so many Forum threads on this? She's a living brain stem only, there are no higher functions... let her husband fulfill her wishes to rest in peace. If everyone thinks he is only trying to kill her off for the insurance money, then pool your cash and offer it to him as an incentive to divorce her. If he does not take it, then you know he is doing it out of his love and respect for her. She has been dead a long time now. A brain stem will let the body breathe and eliminate wastes. From what I have heard, she has no higher brain functions. This is different than someone who is in a coma and has these functions and might one day wake up....
Why is my federal government getting involved in this state matter?! This is NOT what I want out of my Republican leadership, an over extending federal grip on some nonsense about one woman on whom local courts have already judged. Calling her body and brain stem to Congress is outrageous to say the least. We have a LOT of problems I need my Republican leadership to concern themselves with, like using the Constitutional option to get judges on the bench, getting more oil, reducing our dependence on foreign oil, a whole host of matters. Terry Schaivo is not a Federal matter.... having Bush call in Federal Agents to take possession of her body is ludicrous, and if it happened the Republican party would start its downslide back into minority city. Remember, a lot of average Americans like me are Republican and we are not keen on watching a bunch of zealots with their bibles in their hands trying to make an issue out of a brain stem. Away with this issue you should put. Concentrate on more practical matters at hand if you can. Maybe a good thing can come out of this, like pushing for folks to explicitly put in writing thier wishes if they should lose their brain functions and/or become dependent on machines. I sure did after this... I don't want my body and brain stem paraded up to Congress someday or become fodder for the media. Go write spell out your wishes today or this could happen to you. And ask yourself one thing, I know if my wife had expressed a desire not to be artificially kept alive, I would do everything I could to try to fulfill her wishes... even if they were not written down.

Your credibility is in shambles. You really need to come up with a more convincing lie. LOL!

She isn't just a "brain stem" with no higher functions. You haven't been paying attention.

If the Constitution and laws of this nation are of any worth at all it is because they serve as a bulwark against the arbitrary predations of petty tyrants. If they fail Terri Schiavo here, they fail us all.

God bless true conservatives who do not subscribe to the utilitarian value of innocent life that inspires those who desperately want to see Terri Schiavo put down like a dog.

I think you're on the wrong forum. You're looking for Freak Republic.

If he does not take it, then you know he is doing it out of his love and respect for her.

LOL Yeah, he loves and respects her so much that he's been shacking up with another woman for the past ten years. Oh, and let's not forget that he's fathered two children by this woman because he has sooooo much respect for his wife.

You sound like a follower of Jeremy Bentham and the "Utilitarians" instead of the Founding Fathers.

But Henry Bonilla is Baptist too, and he endorses Roe v. Wade.
