"the Schiavo family visiting Terri"
"what for?"
Hoping for a slot on Oprah? American Idol?
"Well then I don't know why anyone would bar the family from her. I'll wait to see if it's true."
"He did the same thing the last time he had her tube pulled"
HE did it or the courts did it?
KCVL "Micheal is damn lucky he is not in my family!"
From your post, I bet he's glad too. I know I am.
I don't know the answer to that.
"Sheesh. Everytime someone posts facts about this case instead of gossip and rumor they are called Nazis or trolls or evil."
Reminds me of what the Clinton's are known for doing....well a lot of Dems for that matter.
Bork, Gannon...etc.
"Are you sure about that? She was being spoon-fed until it was decided that the tube would be more efficient and better able to ensure complete nutrition."
Where did that come from?
"Who is her guardian? It is my understanding that Michael as her husband has legal say and that Judge Greer is acting as her guardian."
What period of time over the past 15 years are you talking about? It does make a difference.
"It's been very interesting to see the battle lines drawn, those wanting the family to have their chance to try to help a daughter, sister...and the man who has abandoned her, yet finds her continued existence inconvenient."
Do you find parents willing to mutilate their daughter "helpful" parents who apparently don't care what Terri would have wanted?
"Why doesn't Michael simply turn Terri over to her family?
From the report: "Testimony provided by members of the Schindler family included very personal statements about their desire and intention to ensure that Theresa remain alive . . . at any and all costs.
Nearly gruesome examples were given, eliciting agreement by family members that in the event Theresa 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Schindler family members stated that even if Theresa had told them of her intention to have artificial nutrition withdrawn, they would not do it."

"This happens every day across this nation and I'm really puzzled why this case has received the attention it has."
Probably some of the same reasons the Peterson murder, the Edwards Murder, Michael Jackson etc. get a lot of attention. We are a Jerry Springer nation and it makes for good showbiz.
The DemocRATs are full of surprises!
They have finally picked out Hill No. 2008 or Mt. Schaivo to die on.
Unfortunately some RepublicRATs are scrambled to join their leftist allies, while many DemocRATs, one being Pelousi, decided they'd better abstain.
Truly weird.
"But please save the MS just loves and cares for his wife
His actions over they years have shown otherwise"
Not according to court records and even the parent's doctors. Where are you getting your info from?
" I do not want Terri to die, but I think she has been given "due process"
So she is being given the death penalty, for what crime?
"Do you seriously want to tell me that the guy with the fiance wants Terri dead out of love?"
Exactly. No one would take Michael Schiavo's word on this at face value, unless they were...how shall I put this delicately?...an imbecile.
The crimes of marriage and of moving to Florida.
Marriage to a cad.
"Just heard on CNN that MS was visiting with Terri and wanted her parents to wait until he left for them to visit with her because it would be "awkward""
That sounds waaayyyy to reasonable to be posted here. You need to make up something sensational. LOL
If the only thing that would save your child from certain death is a "three ring circus," you wouldn't erect a tent?
What a moronic thing to say.
