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.

Amen!
It's been done all through history all ove the world.
AAAACKK!!
It shoudl read "though" not 'tough'!!
SORRY!
My gosh. I need to go to typing class.
Michael Savage has been brilliant this week.
He's spoken the truth about Jeb.
Jeb you are a disgrace.
Your to spinless to send in state troopers to save an innocent woman.
Those are the facts people.
That is the bottom line.
Well, I have the right, thanks to JimRob, to participate in the debates of this issue on this forum, just like anyone else here. While the issue is emotional for everyone, there are also bigger issues that need debating that are part of this. < shrugs shoulders >
As for myself, I'll be saying a prayer for Terri and her family. And if you're a prayerful man I hope you'll do the same.
I have, daily.
Take care and have a blessed Easter.
You, too.
And now the zinger. Would Muslims do this to their own relatives?
Deo,
I laughed so loud that one of my babies (dogs) woke up!!
We're into combat humor. Thank the Lord, at this time it's not illegal...
Yet.
But great line!!!!!
He's =done far more, and for far longer, than you. Even the Schindlers acknowledge that.
Maybe you meant to say "An innocent woman is being starved to death and he does nothing illegal or outside of the scope of his office" perhaps?
I just went back and re-read this thread, with special attention to Chad Fairbanks.
Out of all the posters here, which would you recommend to someone as 'best representing what Free Republic is about'? To be honest, a lot of what is being said about this topic is embarrassing and often scary. I say this as someone who thinks that injustice is being done.
Chad isn't doing anything but acting like a voice of reason. That doesn't warrant insinuations that he is 'up to something'.
Not common in TX for sure. Don't know a doctor or hospital that would even consider this. Also even with terminal dying person, always have IV fluids continually until death. Do these hospice places not have ethics committees? Also are they accredited by the states, anyone know?
You are correct, and that is something we need to rectify. But, not with violence or other illegalities. It will take hard work, and a lot of time, but in theory it could be done, if we are willing to try.
that is your definition and has no basis in fact except for what you believe it to be.....it is only a fact of your moral judgment. If you feel the law is not applied fairly then fine, but judging others as to their "contentment" involves and order of mind reading you are not prepared to make
Why consign a poor flea to life on Mikey's pubic mound?
Well said. But it did allow Randall Terry to feel important again as he turned off virtually every thinking person in the country. Also a lot of people seem happy that they were able to show how tough they are from behind a keyboard as they ordered the Bush brothers into combat and threatened every judge whose decision they disagreed with.
I have lost so much respect for Gov. Bush....
I do not think he had any idea what he was going to lose because he stood down.
I think he thinks because he's republican that it'll be swept under the rug...as the only other side in the battle are the democrats.
I told my husband, I'd rather let a wolf in the front door than an wolf in sheep's clothing in the back door.
I want to be able to identify the person who will cause me and mine harm.
My heavenly Father, grace Terri with your kingdom. I prayed for her like I have never prayed before. Dear Jesus, If I may ask of you, please send the Angel Michael down here to fix things that are broken. Satan has been back again and evil is ongoing in our land.
Good question. However, maybe it's just me and my crazy talk, but what possible good could come out of bloodshed in Terri's, or God's name? How would that help Terri? How would that help our republic? How would that help the pro-life cause?
