You should take the time to acquaint yourself with the facts, instead of continuing to shoot from the hip, without being aware of the most important issues, which is that Terri is being murdered by her husband, who is allowed to be her guardian, despite his conflict of interest in looking out for Terri's best interests.
Do you think we should legalize "murder by spouse"?
Did you check out the timeline, and found nothing suspicious?

And how about this evidence of Terri's condition:

And this about Terri's bonescam?

I am merely trying to bring to your attention the facts of the case, which many are not aware of.
If you want to be fair, you should open your mind and read through at least some of this stuff -- the more you read, the more you find out that Terri is literally being murdered, and since all avenues to help her have been exhausted, our Congress and our President are courageously stepping in, to keep an innocent woman from being murdered for convenience.
The other bottom line is that regardless of what anyone thinks about Terri's mental condition or ability, her parents are willing to take her and take care of her, so why not allow her to live.
If there are stray dogs in the shelter, which are going to be put to death, but if someone comes along to adopt them, they are allowed to be taken by those people and are allowed to live.
Don't you think Terri deserves the same rights that are accorded to stray dogs?
Why not, indeed.
I one reply left in me, and I want to get it out.
Fair, I have studied this case plenty. Don't need any more info. I know where it originated from. I know it's veracity. I made my call.
As to this method of addressing a grievance. This is not the way.
You have lost all perspective. You will not go into Florida and take her. If you do, I promise you, that I will be down there in my wheel chair and crutches with my hardware, and I will protect Florida from a over reaching fed. They would be in the wrong, but you have lost perspective.
Hundreds of thousands have died for the Constitution and the BOR. You risk it for one single woman who should by rights be long dead. And you do it blindly with not a care.
In that constitution it has the basis for our rights and how they are protected. Florida did it by the numbers, yet you can't see that. It is a fact.
Now, the Florida laws may be deficient, or perhaps they are too broad for this particular case, but they are what they are. They way to change that is the legislature, but it is too late for this case. That is a fact.
This is not a issue akin to slavery or rogue States. every state in the country will be affected by what happens in Florida and by God we don't want that! I don't want the Fed to tell me how to handle my Mothers last days. Or to tell my DR how much pain meds are allowed to stem the pains from the cancer ravaging her body.
I don't want to have my living will challenged by some Bimbo in Massachusetts who thinks that I don't know what I want. Just like I would not want to be in Florida today!
One woman, one husband and a pair of parents who cannot compromise have distorted the perspectives of a sizable number of people in the Christian Conservative community. Not nearly all, but a sizable number. Enough to get the attention of the highest office and the legislative branches. Enough to get them to do something totally stupid and uncalled for against a States justice department, with half of the story! HALF OF THE STORY!
I don't think that there should be another investigation of this, but due to the huge social bomb that is close to detonating if this thing gets totally out of hand, I think perhaps a way can be found to do this within the State of Florida and not under the auspices of the Fed.
The Florida Court of Appeals can change their mind and put a stay in place until all these issues(lies)can be ferreted out and by Gog I want to see the source of every lie and distortion in this case prosecuted to the max!
Also, a short time frame would be necessary, like three to four weeks.
I would approve of that! And I don't care who they are.
This idea would have perspective.
