Well, I feel strongly that these guys are activists and have agendas and are attempting to set a precedent.
This doesn't fare well for terminal patients on medicaid/medicare.
Yes just watch our nation fall. There will be a lot more Michael’s coming out of the wood work soon now that it's close to being shown to everyone across the country that it is legal for an estranged husband to decide on his disabled wife's fate....
note: the above is not a real ad..just an example of what you might see after Terri dies..but who knows..is there a market in this now especially in Florida?
"Well, I feel strongly that these guys are activists and have agendas and are attempting to set a precedent."
They are elitist. They know more about what is good for us than we do...so they would have us believe. They have lost their souls...made a deal at the crossroads.
It amazes me to hear and see these people call everyone who thinks Terri should have a chance to live a "Christian fanatic" or "Right-wing Christian nut". I think Terri should have a chance to live and I can't remember the last time I set foot in a church.
We are now watching the true struggle for humanity. I feel it must be rescued. While I hope with all my heart that Terri is given that chance to live, I fear she will lose that chance.
The reality is we gave her chance away. We did not pay close enough attention to the things that were going on in our society to get involved. We assumed that common sense and common decency would always win the day. We were wrong. And now we have put ourselves at risk and are in danger of becoming the "sheep" for the demented herders who we now call judges. We let Clinton get elected in 1992 and the snowball started down the hill. His culture of "I never inhaled" is causing many of us to believe we have to suck it up. But we don't!
No matter what happens to Terri Schiavo now, we have to go forward with our eyes wide open. We have to protect ourselves and our children from those who will impose their sick sense of morality on us all. Theirs is a culture of selfishness and materialistic pursuits. It's about power for them now and it has planted it's roots in our judicial system. We have to return our judicial system back to it's original purpose. We do this at the ballot box.
Tomorrow I will be 47 years old. Last November I voted in a presidential election for the first time in my life. It felt good to be on the winning side. Now I look back and feel terribly guilty that I waited so long to get involved. If more of us had done so I don't think we would be in such a predicament today. I feel compelled to fix it. For me and my kids.
I'm watching closely now. I'm taking note of all those in our government who oppose the culture of life. My hope is that everyone else will as well. We have to show up for all elections, not just every fourth year. This is how we fix it. I've learned my lesson. Many on this site already knew it. You have a new recruit joining you now. No more sitting back for me.
And I might even go to a church this Sunday.
(Sorry for the long post. Just had to get that out.)
This is the kind of precedent that will get the insurance and healthcare providers on board a socialized medicine system. A precedent that insures that they're able to stop "high cost" patients in their tracks.
Ready for the chip yet?
Can you say "Organ Harvesting", RBA?
Just a thought.

Our Constitution is being subverted by the concept of "case law". If any judge makes a ruling that isn't countermanded by a superior court, that ruling becomes the de facto law of the land. Even if the Legislative and Excutive branches pass and sign compensitory statuatory law(s) to correct for "case law", like was done in the Schiavo case, the Judiciary can still rule that the compensitory statuatory law(s) are unconstitutional.
Once precendent and case law has been established in the courts, it is near impossible to reverse.
