Contrary to predictions that Terri Schiavo's starvation death would be painless and dignified, an eyewitness who visited her hospice room early Saturday morning reports that she is now bleeding from the eyes and mouth.
Fox News Channel's "Fox & Friends" reported Saturday morning:
"Barbara Weller, who's is one of the attorneys for the Schindlers, says that the last time she checked in, not very many hours ago, Terri's eyes and tongue were bleeding now.
"Her eyes are sunken and her skin continues to flake off," Weller added.
On Thursday Terri's parents reported that their daughter now resembles "an Auschwitz victim."
At the request of Michael Schiavo's attorney, Judge George Greer has banned cameras and video equipment from her room, precluding the possibility that a photographic record of her deteriorating condition might be kept.
The eyewitness accounts stand in stark contrast to predictions from medical experts cited in numerous media reports who insisted that Terri's starvation death would not be gruesome.
On Wednesday, for instance, the Los Angles Times reported:
"Doctors say that going without food and water in the last weeks of life is not traumatic, and that the body is equipped to adjust to such conditions."
The paper quoted Dr. Perry G. Fine, vice president of medical affairs at the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization in Arlington, Va.
I hear 'ya. I feel the same way.
You know, with all the blood-sucking ghouls surrounding her, this may well be impossible...
Amen.
Yeah, like when the Father said the parents are being strip searched.
Are you a Christian?
And remember when we were being told that the parents were prohibited from visiting her?
They're liars, plain and simple.
Election law.
BUMP
"This is the end result of secular liberal humanism."
What's worse, the public is going along with it.
Yes, silly me, I thought this was one of the prime reasons this country was formed. Now I find out it was actually so we could kill more innocents. I guess that's what's put me on Sinkspur's Wacko list...thinking life is precious....
I worked on a medical floor as a nurse 20 years ago. This was when Hospice was relatively new so terminal patients came to the hospital to die.
I have seen many, many, many cancer patients die. I have never seen a patient die as you relate your fathers death. Never.
Death is not an easy part of life to go through. Your father had to have medication to ease his pain.
Unless he has supernatural help from above.
Well what would us "scumbag death cult" members know?
;-)
"Who cares as long as the GOP doesn't get hurt politically!!"
If you read the threads today, the polls are important for some reason, not Terri.
Oh, please do add my to your hall of fame, if you haven't already. Because I do think that every one of you are doing your best to assist in this execution. I'd hate to be left off. If wanting to save a life makes me a "wacko", then I wear the name proudly.
It wouldn't matter. They'd knock her back down by force and Judge Greer would rule that once she's dead, she'd darned well better stay dead. The 11th Dist. Court would uphold it, and the USSC would refuse to hear an appeal.

Change your conduct, or change your tagline.
I have already given you a link, verity. Play your childish games with someone else.
You are all mouth.
