After Defeats Schiavo Parents Tell Supporters Go Home
AP - Yahoo ^ | March 26, 2005 | Jane Sutton

Posted on 03/26/2005 7:20:40 PM PST by EveningStar

Bob and Mary Schindler, both practicing Catholics, urged dozens of supporters gathered outside the Florida hospice where Schiavo is being cared for to go home for Easter.

"The family would request that everyone go home, be with your children, hold them close and share every moment you have with them," said Brother Paul O'Donnell, a Franciscan monk who is a spiritual adviser to the Schindlers.

It was not clear if the Schindlers had finally abandoned all legal avenues in their fight to restart their 41-year-old daughter's feeding, a cause that embroiled the Florida legislature, the U.S. Congress and President Bush.

"I am not a lawyer, but here's my opinion: any judge making even a pretense of fairness or decency could only issue one ruling: "There's new evidence here, and from a credible source (a lawyer). Therefore, the feeding tube must be reinserted while further reviews of the situation are done."

Absolutely

"I therefore personally take Greer's actions as confirmation that he is actively and deliberately killing Terri."

I agree - but I just cannot understand why the absolute obsession with killing this poor woman. And I wonder what lies in the sealed court records that he would not give to CDF - since no other judge has ever reviewed the evidence in this case, could there be evidence in there that no one but Greer has seen? Just a thought, but when an innocent woman can be tried, convicted and executed by ONE JUDGE, with no review of the evidence, then something is dreadfully wrong.

Gov Bush has chosen his job over his duties.

He's not hearing anything but the siren of his office title.

What a witness Terri's been..... to open the eyes of apathy we've somehow sunken into as a nation! As she goes to God... her presence has awakened something in the rest of us! Her death will not have been in vain.

Great comment.

This is all I have to say to the murderers in Florida and Washington, D.C.

Exd 20:13 Thou shalt not kill/murder.

Deu 5:17 Thou shalt not kill/murder.

Mat 5:21 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill/murder; and whosoever shall kill/murder shall be in danger of the judgment:

Mat 19:18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Mar 10:19 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill/murder. Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.

Rom 13:9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill/murder, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if [there be] any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Jam 2:11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill/murder. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill/murder, thou art become a transgressor of the law.

2Ch 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

God Bless Terri and her family.

I like that idea - medical examiner.

Since we don't know how far the corruption has spread, does the medical examiner have to be from the state of FL?

I wonder if the legal minds mentioned this to The Schindler's.

So, in other words, Judge Greer is saying, "I don't care if she talked, you didn't tell me soon enough, so she dies".

The Schindlers appealed this to the State Supreme Court, where they were denied, of course. Anyone know on what basis the supremes upheld Greer's insanity?

"Frankly when I saw her ... she looked beautiful. In all the years I've seen Mrs. Schiavo, I've never seen such a look of peace and beauty upon her. Mrs. Schiavo's death is not imminent by any means," he [Felos] said.

This ghoul... this pompous, sick sadistic piece of lizard feces... Isn't it wonderful, everyone? Terri might "live" in this state of peace and beauty for days more! Let's all have a drink and celebrate!

I heard this too, and it just makes me sick. Since she's looking so "beautiful" and she's got such a wonderful "look of peace and beauty" about her, I think that we should demand to see current photos of Terri.

Frankly, I am speechless at the audacity and sheer evil of what he's saying.

My step-mother's father went through exactly this sort of death, at his explicit request. He was in his mid-80's, his kidneys had failed, he was tired of the nearly continuous dialasis, and he wanted to join his wife. The Drs had said that they could probably keep him alive for another month or two, but he really didn't want to. In fact, he refused any food or water when offered, but did accept pain medications. The pain meds were the reason that he died peacefully, but he didn't die with a "look of peace and beauty." When he died, he looked horrific.

The upheld Greer on the basis that they are not about to give the Bushes a victory, after that a$$-whupping that US Supreme Court gave them in December 2000.

Terri could STILL be saved, if they would act NOW.

Oh, please. When was the last time a president got involved in anything to do with ONE person in a case like this? """

1961: Kennedy ordered troops to ensure that one AFrican American student - James Meredith -- was enrolled as a student in the University of Alabama.

I know you don't care about Terri's fate, but if you're going to challenge those who do, bone up on your history first.

He could sell a blank book, to:

People who hate Christians

Environmentalists - they HATE 'useless' consumers of the earth's materials, remember?

Democrats - they'll fund ANYTHING dealing against Christians, Repulicans, Conservatives (you get the gist).

Judges - My GOSH, just think of the BLACK ROBED DEMONS owe to this guy with the UNGODLY GAIN IN POWER

Poll Takers - All those Polls to be taken...!

Education Elites - Braining washing the offspring of all those [democratic] parents who pay out the large bucks

Hospices - those who deal in death for $

Lawyers - What a run there's going on right now to their offices.

Medical Researchers - Medical Schools - They are planning for increases in bodies to work on/with/sell

There's more, I would imagine.

Oh, Specifically...the US Surpreme Court.

You're right:

if she got up and tried to walk out of the hospice under her own power Greer would still have her put to death. This is truly disgraceful. Utterly abhorrent.

These documents, straight from the hospice, put the lie to the idea that Terri's death will be "peaceful" or "beautiful"

AP News is reporting that the husband has denied Terri communion on Easter.

Mrs. Schiavo was given communion just prior to removal of the tube.

You have to have someone to bring forth the allegations and get it INTO THE COURT system.

Lots of luck.

Medical folks, courts, cops, politicians all want this girl dead and gone.

There is not a chance anyone will step for to help the family on the side of the..what did Gov. Bush call it.."Legal" side.

good catch. being cared for.

It's annoys me when I see them say Terri Shiavo - I refer her as Terri Schindler. Disassociates her from the evil one.
