Terri Schiavo: 'I Waaaannt [To Live]'
Newsmax via Hannity ^ | Mar 18,2005 | Newsmax Staff

Posted on 03/18/2005 2:55:38 PM PST by spycatcher

A mentally disabled woman whose court ordered starvation-execution began Friday attempted to contradict her estranged husband's claim that she wants to die hours before her feeding tube was disconnected, an eyewitness is claiming.

Barbara Weller, an attorney for Terri Schiavo's parents, told reporters Friday afternoon that during her visit earlier in the day she told Ms. Schiavo:

"Terri, if you would just say, 'I want to live,' - all of this will be over."

According to pro-life activist Randall Terry, who recounted the scene to radio host Sean Hannity, Schiavo tried desperately to repeat Weller's words.

"'I waaaaannt . . .' Schiavo allegedly said, in a prolonged yell that had police stationed nearby running into her hospice room.

"She just started yelling, 'I waaaannt, I waaaannt,'" Terry said, according to Weller's account.

At that point police ejected Weller, he said.

What the hell ever happened to that oath?

They wear black robes and believe they run the country. They have become the greatest engine for social change ever seen. In the last twenty years they have taken us down a slow, steady path to this dehydration today, of Terri.

Sadly, many of us have been asleep at the wheel.

God Knows is anyone going to come to this poor woman's defense and Save Her?????????

The only thing I can do is pray that the Lord Jesus will come to this woman and I'm hoping my Lord and Savior will do a miracle on this woman that will stun the doctors as well as those who make their so called awful laws!

Tell me would you want a loved one of yours to die a slow agonizing death over some 8 days by starvation?
This is what this Judge has condemned Terri Schiavo to, prisoners killed by the state are given a better choice of death by lethal injection. Perhaps you would more approve of this for a loved one. Would you make the injection?
No one and I mean no one knows exactly what kind of shape Terri Schiavo is in and no healthy young woman of 25 is even thinking of a living will or worrying about being a in situation like this.
Also tell me just what is wrong with letting Terri's family take her and carrying for her if that is what they want to do?
Also have you really asked yourself any hard questions about why Michael Schiavo is so determined to have this woman die? Have you considered the possibility that he may have put her where she is and is a criminal?
This guy has been offered vast sums of money to walk away and divorce this woman and let her family care for her.
Yet he has refused, Why?
Why not divorce her let her family have her and he can get on with his life with his girl friend and his two kids?
The more questions you ask the deeper the mystery and motivations. Ponder on some of these things and look into your own soul and see what answers you find.

What we have here is homicide by judiciary.

It's an execution of a person who committed no crime.

Murder.

I just registered today so I could post a response in the Terri Schiavo case. I cannot believe everyone. I know in my heart what is happening to her is torture and it is completely wrong. Most of you here believe in GOD, so don't you think if it was meant for her to die she would have died, or be totally brain dead? Don't forget that the reason she is this way is suspicious. Her so called husband should be investigated. As for the ones here that thinks she doesn't know her surroundings picture this. You have a child who is brain damaged, has to be on a feeding tube probably for the rest of their life but could improve with extensive therapy. What would you do? Remove the tube and let your child slowly die a tortureous death, or try the therapy? Terri hasn't gotten this chance, her parents want to try therapy and her husband doesn't? Sounds a bit odd. Like he doesn't want her to improve, would she implicate him? All of these things must be taken into account. I think they need to get therapists in there to start working with her. It is not necessarily to late.

Isn't that the truth! America is a powerful nation and therefore as powerful as we may think we are we are slowly but surely doing like the Great Roman Empire, we are slowly decaying within our own country! Aren't we?

Of all the weird stuff coming down today, including jacko, scott peterson, robert blake, and on and on and on and on, this Schiavo story is the most chilling. Glenn Beck is the only one out there telling the real story. I've been flabbergasted at watching the media ignore important stories in the past, but this one takes the cake. That *sshole shamed & starved her into her mental state through diet, lack of food and minerals, promised to take care of her while pursuing the insurance money, and then cast her aside to die. Anyone would think the dominant media would be on this like a duck on a junebug, but I guess the death culture trumps a woman being taken advantage of.

Want to really blow your mind? Read about these pregnant piggies, and what FL does to protect them; yet they will starve Terri to death.

Yeah...there are even cameras small enough to be disguised as a lapel pin...and I heard a while back that some can be rented to avoid the cost of buying a new one.

I'm pretty certain Michael not only looks for such things, but also has made clear that if he any attempt to smuggle one in will have severe repurcussions. Remember he has a very tightly-controlled guest list.

Thanks so much for the sample letter! I have hand/wrist problems and have to limit my keyboarding until my new voice recognition system shows up - so your letter really helps me!

I understand and thank you. What I meant was that the case is turning into a right to die case. If she dies it could could turn into a big mess. People could use her as an example so they could die too and that's not what this is about. Its about a woman who needs help and is not getting it. Her husband just seems, I don't know, seems like he will do anything to see her die. I don't know something about him is really odd.

You've missed the point. She's SUPPOSED to be PVS and not able to speak. Except that she did.

"It's clear Michael Schiavo, George Felos, and Judge Greer
Are fighting with all their might
not because Terri won't speak up
but rather because she might.

"Well, can't the police who witnessed this be WITNESSES?"


If I understand correctly, police are Officers of the Court. Sounds like they are witnesses, however the question may be which under which jurisdiction. If the same as Judge Greer, then subpoenas may be a 10th Amendment issue. I hope not.

Good point.

God, please move Heaven and Earth! Amen

Apparently, especially if you consider the decay to be of a moral nature.
