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.

Always gotta go there, don't ya. It must make you feel so special, so superior, so moral, to post crap like that - especially when it isn't true.
But hey, it's easier to post ad hominem attacks, isn't it?
MS has played his role and TPTB will reward him accordingly. Only if he had backed down would he have faced prosecution. Just my $0.02...
Hank,
You know what has you so tinkled?
Because what was said is true.
And you hate that it's true.
No flame from me. EVIL exists - we are watching it play out! Can't deny it.
What a smarty.
They have the power to indict people for first degree murder? Wow. I wonder why no president or governor has done so before...
Her parents requested it again for Easter, the holiest day of the Catholic year. Denied.
No, it's a simple descriptive comment about those freepers who are content that Terri should die - and have been spinning excuses for what's being inflicted on her.
Insist is one thing. Getting your way is another. Ask feckless Jeb.
Terri's own brother came out today, chastising those who were condemning President Bush for bringing Congress into this. Our president, and Gov. Bush, did everything they could within the law to save Terri.
So, who are you to pass judgement on them, when Terri's own brother supports our President for his help?. Forget your political agenda, and put the blame where it deserves to be, with Terri's so-called husband, and the Judges, mainly Greer, who gave her the death sentence.
We need to get these liberal judges out of power, LEGALLY, which means getting to the voting booths when they are up for re-election.
I think they will be immune from any charges
Not good. Can you go back and read it again. Then come back with a better ending.
Thanks.
All the courts agreed with the Death Team.
What court is now going to say, "guilty." of anything?
The other judges are all buddy-buddy.
The only true Judge is the Lord.
He will avenge Terri.
Actually, what's really interesting is that the only FReepers I've seen on these threads expressing a hope that Terri would die are people that think as you do -comments like "Let the Lord take her home now so she stops suffering" and other like comments etc...
I've not seen one FReeper, who wants to handle this situation rationally and within the law, express a desire or hope for her death.
But keep up with the lies, churchillbuff. It's all you know.

The governor shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed, commission all officers of the state and counties, and transact all necessary business with the officers of government.
nice Christian response, typical
All right. Let's go back to the TV show. Rush Limbaugh, the TV show in 1996, National Press Club, Jack Kevorkian discussed the dignity in which people die with his assistance versus the dignity in which some other people die.
KEVORKIAN: Well, let's take what people think is a dignified death. Christ. Was that a dignified death? Do you think it's dignified to hang from wood with nails through your hands and feet, bleeding for three or four days and slowly dying? With people jabbing spears into your side and people jeering you? Do you think that's dignified? Not by a long shot. Had Christ died in my van (laughter) with people around him who loved him, the way it was, it would be far more dignified. My rusty van.
RUSH: This is Dr. Death, Dr. Kevorkian, making the case for his euthanasia movement which was to take people who weren't even terminally ill and talk them into dying and take them into his van and he would inject them. I forgot his method. But I don't know that everybody's ever really talked about crucifixion as dignified. That is mystifying for me. But let's move on here. Here is Dr. Death, another portion of that audio, the National Press Club, 1996.
KEVORKIAN: God sets things in motion and then hands off. Let humans run it. And that's why he set this country up the way it was. Hands-off? The Pope has got his hands on our neck. He's wringing it. Now, I'm not anti-Pope. Basically he can do whatever he wants and say whatever he wants. But I think he's got a grip on our government. I know he has a grip on the Michigan Supreme Court. Grip? He owns it. I know he's got a grip on our Supreme Court. Therefore, I don't care what any Supreme Court says. I don't care what any legislature does. Pass any law you want. I don't care.
RUSH: Here's your modern icon. This is the modern icon of the Culture of Death movement. Here he is, Dr. Death, Jack Kevorkian. Let's listen to one more from this speech. It happened July 29th, 1996 at the National Press Club, and the audience is members of the media. They're the ones who are laughing.
KEVORKIAN: We're trained to lie as we get older. That's the way you survive. That's the grief that society is lying. To yourselves and to others. And the epitome of lying is in the epitome of society, the government. I don't think what I've said is wrong so far. If there's any disagreement I'll hear about it later. These questions I'm asking, "Does that baboon heart become sacred?" You can't answer it. Why not? You know what sanctity is, don't you? Can the body be partly sacred? Is the fecal material in your intestines sacred? You're a human body. You're a biological organism like every other biological organism. You bleed when you cut and when you die you stink. Now, what's sacred about that?
RUSH: So you forgot about this? (asking staff) You forgot? A lot of people have forgotten because this is so unpleasant to remember. Who wants to run around remembering this kind of stuff? This is the modern hero of the Culture of Death movement, Dr. Jack Kevorkian -- and he epitomizes here what Podhoretz has said. We're just biological machines, miracles, we're all the same. We stink when we die. Dignified? What, what, what, what, what? So I play this. I just want to you find out the mind-set of people, and this guy's clearly unafraid to tell us what he thinks, which is a service. But it's clearly an illustration of some of the thinking that goes on about life and death among some of us, particularly our secularists, in this culture.
n the tenth pouch there...
"Pouch" ?? What translations is that? I thought there were circles in Dante's Inferno.
