"When Is That Bitch Gonna Die?" - Micheal Schiavo

Lets see, first Michael Schiavo beats and strangles his wife Terri, leaves her lying unconscious on the floor until her family arrives to get her to the hospital.

Then Michael Schiavo sues the hospital for $20 million because he needs the money to get his poor wife therapy.

Then Michael Schiavo pockets the money, denies his wife the care he said she needed and finally, claims she really wants to die.

Michael Schiavo killed his wife Terri's cat, melted down her wedding ring and then took up with his girlfriend and lives with her today with their children. Does this sound like a loving husband who really cares about his wife's wishes?

And what do we get on the tube every hour on the hour: “persistent vegetative state” as though any of the talking heads who ghoulishly proclaim Terri's life isn't worth that of a convicted serial killer sitting on death row (for 20 years, while due process goes on).

Michael Schiavo's supporters claim he loved his wife Terri enough to take a nursing degree so that he could take care of her. I think he got that nursing degree so he could inject her with insulin and hasten her death and his complete claim to all the money he won in litigation.

Just take a gander at the sworn testimony of an attending nurse: Carla Sauer Iyer (affidavit* below) but let me save you some time and report a quote of Michael Schiavo's after visiting his still living wife: "When is that bitch gonna die?"

Hmmm. Loving husband or man so afraid of not only not getting the money (what's left of the $20 million) but the prospect of facing a jury for his attempted murder, a charge which is possible as long as Terri lives. Sounds like motive to me.

Michael Schiavo says Terri said she never wanted to be kept alive on machines. Okay. Even if that was her statement (which there is absolutely no corroborating testimony and quite the unusual statement coming from a young, newly married woman still in her twenties and full of life); Terri is not being kept alive by machines!

Terri has a feeding tube from which she gets food and water. Had she had the care and therapy she was entitled to, there is every chance today Terri would be divorced from that louse and feeding herself just fine.

About that “loving husband” crapola: what husband do you know evinces his marital fidelity and love by living with another woman, having children with that woman and dumps his wife in a hospice while waiting for her to die? What loving husband kills his sick wife's pet? What loving husband denies his wife's family visitation?

I ask these questions because the media morons are still stuck with their new term: “persistent vegetative state” and are oblivious to the actual facts of this tragic case.

I agree. The GOP has let the fervent emotion of many conservative guide them on this disastrous action. They should've just deferred to those with first-hand knowledge of Terri's condition (the independent doctors and court-appointed neutral observers).

[expatpat]

His desire to live with another woman is 'normal' in the sense that most men would do the same. What is not normal is that, after having abondoned Terri, he still refused to relinquish control to her parents.

Your snide remarks do nothing to advance the debate.

Food and water are necessities of life, as is air. If they are now considered artificial means of extending life, then these things can be removed from anyone by judicial order. It sets a precedent that completely perverts the rights that are granted by our Creator, per the Founders.

An infant, then, is on 'life support' using 'artificial means' when a mother feeds her child. If this premise is true, anyone that is incapable of feeding themselves, either temporarily or permanently, is on life support. Whether you, I, or the frog in your pocket wish to not live like 'that' is completely irrelevant. What her husband says she said is actually irrelevant. What matters here is whether or not this nation will condone euthanasia and eugenics. So far, the answer has been... maybe.

Emotion (and screaming, incidentally)always has a place in a debate as charged as this. It is part of the national fabric. "...Give me Liberty, or give me Death" was hardly a clinical observation, but a passionate entreaty to a tyrant that would have gladly removed food and water from Patrick Henry. It is an apt quote for this debate. Will we as a nation give Terri Schiavo the freedom to continue this life, albeit in a reduced state, or shall we give her death? Will we give parents the right to withhold food and water from a severely disabled child? This case would establish that precedent if the courts allow this to stand.

I cannot, will not, countenance starving the disabled because they are inconvenient.

[HMFIC]

Yeah, right, put it on back on me. Great donk logic.

The only problem here is PRE-60's law. That doesn't apply. I have no raw nerves on it, adultery, whatever. Only against the moonbats railing emotionally without considering the facts in the case. Like the poster who called Gov Bush and screamed at him. Yeah, THAT is gonna help the sit.

[Edward Watson]

Why then wasn't her husband charged or convicted? He obviously is the prime suspect in any assault case against his wife.

Can we honestly disregard the eight years of his constant efforts to revive his wife before giving up and accepting the fact she will never recover?

Eight years is a terribly long time for a young man to faithfully try to have his wife come back to him.

"...He didn't keep his wedding vows. He should no longer be considered her husband."

Many people do not keep to their wedding vows for whatever reason. (Not that I am condoning that.) But that does not end the marriage according to the law.

Thanks for considering reading this article. Copy and paste.

You state many "facts" that are in dispute. For instance, MANY people with close contact with Terri state that she IS indeed responsive.

She is NOT terminally ill. She is disabled. All that she has required [in the many years that she has in fact been DENIED any other care] is food and water, delivered through a tube that is connected to a port in her abdomen, and then disconnected when the feeding is over.

There is no written documentation of her wishes. Her husband of only several years at the time of her "accident" vs. "illness" states that she told him she wouldn't want such a tube. This "husband", who is living with another woman currently by whom he has children and also stands to gain financially from her death in terms of the malpractice suit money, could be said to have a conflict of interest in terms of what is in Terri's best interest.

Terri does NOT have an illness that would be expected to kill her. To withhold food and water from this disabled woman would starve her to death. This is being done on the verbal testimony of a "husband" who has conflicts of interest.

The judge in the case also has a conflict of interest, having worked with Felos [Shiavo's attorney] in the past. The judge was picked by Felos because of his known opinions in these matters.

"Some people here expect him to lead the life of a priest while his wife is a vegetable for 15 years!!!"

I expect him to act responsibly when caring for his wife. Rehabilitative therapy, med exams, A DENTIST, he's letting her teeth rot out you know. This bastard want's her dead in the worst way. I wonder why?

[HMFIC]

No it wasn't. It was the post of a raving nut job without a clue.

Unless you KNOW a poster, for ANY post, don't judge them.

Oh, and BTW, intolerance of opinions can be found at DU. The psychos here should try it there. Then they can rave about their conspiracy theories, what-have-you.

[HMFIC]

I'll read it in a mo.

[Edward Watson]

??? I've never claimed Michael was a saint; only the fact as one who has gone through three years of my wife's suffering from cancer before dying - I understand and credit him for what he's done.

[expatpat]

His wife effectively died fifteen years ago.

If that's true, why not return her 'body' to her parents?

Could guilt be coloring your own viewpoint?

"When is that bitch gonna die?"
Heavenly Father, please heal Terri and bring her back so she can tell the whole world what a despicable piece of garbage her husband is, and hopefully prevent another woman from meeting the same fate Terri has.Also,Lord,please let Michael Schiavo know the full measure of your justice on him for the remainder of his miserable days on this planet.
Thank You, Jesus...Amen.

On the Early Show today, he said he was "keeping his vow to Terri."

>>>Unless YOU specifically where there to HEAR her wishes, guess what? It is SUPPOSITION. HERESAY.>>>

You JUST HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD. It is heresay that she 'SAID' she wouldn't want to live that way (whatever 'that way' is). So you are ultimately saying that a husband has life or death decision over his spouse?

You are incorrect. You might have heard some jackass talk about pulling the plug on the spouse and the spouse having hte ultimate decision, but that cannot be confused in this case. You need to stop spouting off what you have heard the talking heads saying. THIS case is not a case of LIFE SUPPORT. Big difference in regard to the POWER the spouse has in a case like this.
