I'm glad they're stepping up to the plate. I'm not glad that it's taking so long, while the lady starves. The Democrats were just tossing stinkbombs--I have no doubt that if the President had said, "Let her die", the 'rats would be rallying around to save her life.
It's depressing to think that they can do something like this to an innocent woman in this country. Everyone is shocked and appalled when someone puts a pair of panties on a terrorist's head, but when it comes to innocent, disabled people, it's fine to kill them slowly and painfully.
Don't think he would -- no use for most transplants due to her long illness and lack of more than just rudimentary medical care. No, he just wants the "evidence" disposed of.
Does he mean they'll pay a price if they stop the effort to help Terri, or if they DON't stop that effort?
Not a factual statement.
;-)
The "government" is doing a great job at the moment.
It is a lose-lose situation for the Democrats.
You might want to do a little more research.

The Repubs. need to stop pandering to the pro-life crowd
*Ahem* You're on a pro-life forum.
Go away you ill-informed pseudo-troll. I say that because you have been around since 2001, but act as if you signed up today.
If you took the time to read the numerous threads you would see that her parents have given up any claim to her money and just want to care for and feed their daughter. Regarding this backfiring with conservative voters, I don't think so, especially among those who have followed this case. Now if they just picked up an old media AP story that constantly paints her as being in a "persistent vegetative state", I could see them believing such. The situation is seen much differently for those who get by the anti-life hype of the mainstream liberal media.
You are the soul of brevity.
:D
Yours is certainly a minority opinion around here. Be prepared to be flamed endlessly and don't be surprised if you get your post pulled. I'm certain many will hit the abuse button on you.
The one possite side of this is that when Terri dies and I believe she will this time that atleast she will be in a better place.
God bless her and her family and yes that includes her husband.
Just upgraded my web site.
You may participate in an on-line poll on my site. The poll has just been put up. It records your vote so that you cannot vote more than once.

Please pass the word.
I haven't felt this anxious about something since election night last November. Dear God, allow Terri to live.
Does this mean that they must have 218 members voting [which represents a quorum] of which to pass the legislation 2/3rd must be voting in the affirmative?.....
If so that could become a problem depending upon the number of members from each party that show up..
Anyone know the DUmmie's take on this? I just showered and don't want to check it out myself.
Nurses abhor writing anything more than minimally required. ;o)
Legal experts were discussing this very thing on Friday.
You don't say. Then how do you explain this?
KING: Have you had any contact with the family today? This is a sad day all the way around, Michael. We know of your dispute.
M. SCHIAVO: I've had no contact with them.
KING: No contact at all?
M. SCHIAVO: No.
KING: Do you understand how they feel?
M. SCHIAVO: Yes, I do. But this is not about them, it's about Terri. And I've also said that in court. We didn't know what Terri wanted, but this is what we want...

Uh, Greer essentially told congress to stick it... i think he does have final say since he hasn't been arrested for contempt of congress.
It's more than just AP who paints her this way.
AP did not make this up. They are reporting the facts of the case.
There are doctors who have diagnosed her condition as that of being PVS and the state also has deemed her as such.
If this where not the case then she could not be legally staved to death.
I know there are differing opinions from the medical community but they do not count at this point.
