US House of Rep. in an Extraordinary Sunday night Session [Schiavo] (Bush Signs Schiavo bill)

Posted on 03/20/2005 6:03:40 PM PST by FoxPro

This is an unprecedented session. The Congress is meeting to save one persons life (in real time).

The only reason the Democrats are agreeing to this is that they don’t want to be known as the party that killed Terri.

This is American history happening before your eyes.

Somerset Maugham wrote a story about a 'chap' out in the South Pacific who took a lump sum, instead of an annuity, when he retire, saying he'd shoot himself if his money ran out before he died. When that time came, he chickened out and lived by begging from the natives -- a terrible end for a Brit of that period!

McDermott is full of $%&@. The one MD. that the Dems have dragged up has his facts all wrong. He speaks of the feeding tube as a last minute form of need for life. Doesn't he know that Hubby-love had the feeding tube placed in so as to make feeding Terri cheaper for him?

It is almost funny to see Barney Franks jump up and rant away!

I had planned to go to bed and read about the results in the morning, but I don't think I can tear myself away. It really is a momentous session.

Chris, you have zero facts and everyone knows it. You're making stuff up and arguing in bad faith. You're either an idiot or saying things you think are false just to bait people.

BYW, this Jay Wilson that the Dem Congresswoman is talking about is a prominant advocate of euthanasia. And she pronounces the word "autonomic" like it's the first time she saw it, because it likely is.

Then why can't Michael Schiavo let her parents take care of the body?
She is alive and you know it.

This is a truly historic evening. Our two political parties are now defining themselves in completely unambiguous terms in a completely partisan way. After tonight there will be no doubt about what these parties stand for or who their constituencies are. The Republican party is now the official defender of the innocent human life and the Democrat party is now innocent human life's declared enemy.

There are no longer any "moderates" on this issue, there is no political middle ground. I imagine that many people, including some here on this forum, will ultimately end up changing their party affiliation because of this. Life is now the defining ideological issue of our time.

The Republican Party was formed 150 years ago in the defense of subjectated human beings and tonight reaffirms that commitment.

On her EEG she has no activity and she is down to primitive reflexes where her brainstem is the only thing intact

Cite?

Sad that that is pretty much what it's been reduced to. I am so offended though, at the people I've seen on tv or even in my own social circle who accuse the repubs of using this case for political gain. It is all about a human being being legally starved and dehydrated. Something that is illegal to do to an animal.

What offends me is that the democrats are always crying about those 'discriminated' against. Why doesn't Terri Schiavo merit them crying?

Ginny Brown-Waite of Florida---a dem in "R" clothing.

She's for death for Terri.The 2001 video is now just a reflex movement. Using the PVS argument--15 years is "too long".

Using her daughter as an example, because she is a health care professional. Sounds nice, but is totally irrelevant.
Thanks for playing. Next?

The water needs to be checked in Florida.

"She shouldn't necessarily be starved to death but instead taken off the feeding tube and given a morphine drip that is absolutely humane in this instance."

Hmmm, not starve her to death but put her on a morphine drip. Sorry, morphine is not nutrition thus she will still be starved to death.
