The left has set women back with this one.

If I understand things correctly, we have a 'husband' who is dictating the fate of his first wife. This guy is currently living with a woman, has lived with her for some time,with whom he has produced children. If this is true then she is his common law wife.

Were they married in the Catholic Church? Could the Church annul the marriage, and would that, taken along with the fact of his second relationship, present some legal argument for divorce, thus ending his control over her?


Exactly!! Shouldn't her being Catholic speak for itself, and your point about His having kids outside of this marriage, it has to be grounds for annulment or something, right?!

Here's an interesting story.

The execution was halted late Tuesday by U.S. District Judge Terry Means in Fort Worth.

Means was acting on an appeal from Staley's lawyer who argued the convicted killer is mentally incompetent and should not be put to death.

"Judge Means' order was that nobody's ever heard this guy's competency question," attorney Jack Strickland said.



the convicted killer is mentally incompetent and should not be put to death.

Terri is being put to death because she is mentally incompetent.

No...what we have is a husband who abdicated his authority and responsibility for his wifes medical care to the courts. Decause of reasons I can't begin to fathom, he chose to let the Court render the decision that dictated the fate of his wife. It was one of the first of many concessions that have been made in favor of the Schindlers.
