Dear Pepper ... I'm truly not trying to pick a fight with you at all ... I'm scared about how this thread has become an attacking ground toward those who ARE in support of Terri and her parents.
Perhaps I misunderstood you, but I took from your post that I responded to that you were criticizing Mel Gibson for not being at the Hospice. But He did make a very clear public statement in support of Terri, and we have no idea what responsibilities he may have that are keeping him from being there, just as we do.
Let's keep praying for Terri rather than blaming the Bushes and Gibson and others who HAVE done something for Terri.
If it weren't for Jeb Bush, her family wouldn't have had Terri these last two years, and I'm sure they're very thankful for those two years. And if Jeb would have had his way this time, he would've given them the rest of their lives with her. He stayed home from being with his own family for Easter just in case something came up that he could do.
I just feel STRONGLY that we need to focus on who's at fault here, not on those who DID work hard to keep Terri from dying. If our anger isn't targeted at the right places, we WILL lose this fight for life in America.
Please listen to me, dear people. I plead with you.
I saw the press conference with Randall Terry and the priest(?), reverend(?), anyway, where they said that they are going to Washington in Terri's stead for the hearings that the subpoena informed them of---
The problem that I see is, I watched the end of the House session and the end of the Senate session, and they both said they were adjourned until April 4th! Therefore, I believe this trip will be for nothing...
Thank you for saying that. Jeb is why we had Terri since the last time they tried to pull her tube. He bought her time, time with her family, time for a lot of people to get involved and learn more about the horrible things people are doing.
Every day she's had since then was a gift because Jeb cared enough to push the Florida legislature into trying to pass a law to save her.
Let us thank God for the extra time, and the work that he's been able to do through people like Jeb and Mel and the other people like you and me who care and are crying tonight because of the evilness done, the bad law, the culture of death and the soon to be loss of our friend.
Lord, hold us all close tonight. Amen.
