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.

Hey RS,

One thing we can all do is believe our own eyes and ears.

Please view my favorite video of Terri. She laughs when her dad reminds her of when she used to tease her mother, and roll her eye (Terri had "lazy eye").

If you want to see this video, which only takes a minute, visit:

Then go to Post #28 & click the link.

Keep in mind when Terri makes sounds, she is attempting to talk, but needs therapy in order to talk. Even without therapy, Terri can say a few words. Sadly, Michael won't allow her to have ANY kind of therapy.

He says it every time he appears in public. He is protecting her from being used, and from having her privacy violated.

Unless he's the one violating it for his own purposes. And let's not forget his Larry King interview where he intimately details Terri's gynecology exam.

After reading CH's posts, I would disagree with your comment.

You may be right. He may love Dr "Humane Death" Cranford.

If they'd asked, "Do you want your parents to stop interfering?" and she said, "I waaaaaaaaaaaaant," the anti-Schiavo/pro-Schindler crowd would be crying that Mrs. Schiavo was trying to contradict the question, not confirm it. They'd say: "She was saying 'I waaaaaaaant to live'"

Or they'd say "Hey, she can speak somewhat, and is not PVS. Why not give her some therapy so she could say clearly and unambiguously what she wants?"

It's been used for brain imaging since the mid-80s.

You're right. My daughter pointed out that she had an MRI for headaches 4 years ago.

Because the husband has forbidden cameras in Terri's room for the past two years! Along with other things - like daylight!

Same stuff you've been reading.

Did you read this?

When Helene Ball McGee if Dunedin, Fla., turned to Greer for protection against her abusive husband, Bobby Lane McGee in March, 1998, Greer rebuked her plea for help, saying that he wasn’t “convinced that her life was in imminent danger”.

In asking for the court order, she told Greer that her husband forced himself on her sexually, burned her belongings and said she was possessed by the devil. Greer ruled that she didn’t have “enough proof” that her husband was violent because she said he had not been physically violent----yet. Apparently Rice took no steps to protect one of his own employees from harm either.

Two weeks later, Helene McGee was dead, stabbed to death.

Her husband had left a message telling her he was leaving town, leading her to believe that it would be safe to return to their home because he wouldn’t be there. Upon entering her home, he stabbed her to death.

Deputies found her husband hiding, submerged in a drainage ditch behind their house, wearing camouflage and a black mask. He was charged with first degree murder.

Helene McGee was a nurse at the Pinellas County Jail operated by Pinellas County Sheriff Everett Rice, Pinellas County Sheriff, one of Greer’s best friends. Her co-workers say she was scared to death of her husband.

The liberals just can't be happy unless they are shedding the blood of the innocent.

Terri is the liberals' sacrifical offering to the god of secular humanism

Hi, i'm new here, hope ya don't mind me weighing in on thhis.
Okay Romans Catholics don't allow divorce;so what do they say about adulterous spouses and murder? Is starvation really more acceptable than divorcing someone ?

I have seen the few moments that were posted out of the, what 4 1/2 HOURS that were taken ?

http://www.libertytothecaptives.net/order_nov_22_2002.html

" At first blush, the video of Terry [sic] Schiavo appearing to smile and look lovingly at her mother seemed to represent cognition. This was also true for how she followed the Mickey Mouse balloon held by her father. The court has carefully viewed the videotapes as requested by counsel and does find that these actions were neither consistent nor reproducible. For instance, Terry [sic] Schiavo appeared to have the same look on her face when Dr. Cranford rubbed her neck. Dr. Greer testified she had a smile during his (non-videoed) examination. Also, Mr. Schlinder [sic] tried several more times to have her eyes follow the Mickey Mouse balloon but without success. Also, she clearly does not consistently respond to her mother. The court finds that based on the credible evidence, cognitive function would manifest itself in a constant response to stimuli."

What's the RCC position on bulimia? Does the Church support abusing ones' body?

You mentioned other videos, but I don't think you viewed the video I provided to you of Terri responding to a joke.

She laughed around THREE times in A MINUTE OR TWO - not four hours. Anyway, IF THAT IS TRUE, if I were ill and didn't laugh or talk for 4 hours, should I have to be murdered?

I don't think so.

To All:

heartbreaking

EXCLUSIVE AT THE EMPIRE JOURNAL

http://www.theempirejournal.com/0319052_attorneys_last_visit_wit.htm

ATTORNEY'S LAST VISIT WITH TERRI SCHIAVO

An Absolute Must Read, Especially for Those who Have any Doubts that this is murder!

This article also tells how Terri expressed that she wanted to live just YESTERDAY. Heartbreaking. She cried and tried to say "I waaaaannnnt (to live)" in response to one of her attorneys, who was kicked out of her room after this incident.

Terri would be able to say it better with THERAPY, but Michael won't allow THERAPY, or TREATMENT, because he doesn't want her to tell how she was hurt.

Call your Congressman and U.S. Senators, and give them the facts so they will have the passion to save Terri. and tell them to stop this murder of an innocent woman who cried yesterday, because she doesn't want to die!!

What crossed my mind was Michael shiavo's girlfriend. What kind of person is she, not to step forward and say something in defense of Teri? She has two children by Michael doesn't she wonder what they will think later in their lives that their mother did nothing to stop this madness?
She must wonder why he wants Teri dead. He could have divorced her long ago; turned her care over to the parents and still kept the money he won in that phoney law suit.
Perhaps this subject has been brought up before I just have not seen or heard anything about it.

"She laughed around THREE times in A MINUTE OR TWO - not four hours."

That's the problem, without seeing the rest of the video, we don't know if she was laughing when NO jokes were told, or if the same joke was told 10 times and we are being shown the time when the laughing matches up.

The judge has seen ALL the video before making his decision.

This isn't directed at you but since yours is the last post on the thread I'll put it here.

I've seen so many mis-statements by freepers that it's hard to get through the posts.

People accuse Michael as being after the insurance money. And yet according to court papers, Michael formally offered to divest himself entirely of his financial interests in the guardianship estate.

Freepers have said that Terri has not been seen by a neurologist. Court papers say otherwise.

It's been stated she did not have a CAT scan. That's patently untrue.

It's been stated that Michael refused to let a priest visit her. That's patently untrue. Some of them have given interviews after their visit with Terri and just yesterday she was given last rites.

Terri's sister stated on CNN last night that they don't even know if Terri had a heart attack. Court documentation by numerous doctors provides evidence that Terri did have a heart attack. Her sister denied that Terri had bulimia but that is the very basis under which Michael won a malpractice suit.

Some freepers have said that only Michael was told about Terri's comments that she never wanted to be kept alive with machines and tubes. Yet court testimony indicates her best friend, Joan, also heard Terri say that.

Court testimony shows agreement among the Schindlers that they want to keep Terri alive even if Terry should contract diabetes and subsequent gangrene in each of her limbs, they would agree to amputate each limb and would then, were she to be diagnosed with heart disease, perform open-heart surgery. Within the testimony, as part of the hypothetical presented, Schindler family members stated that even if Theresa had told them of her intention to have artificial nutrition withdrawn, they would not do it.

Just repeating more lies told by Shindler family members on Friday's Hannity and Colmes.

Thanks for adding more evidence that they are lying their asses off.
