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.

You've gotta be kidding me?
Gov. Bush hasn't done enough, he gave up any chance of ever being president by trying to save Terri Schiavo through countless legal means and tactics and now because he isn't sending in the Florida National Guard (which by the way would require the pentagon's approval and funding)
You feel somehow that he hasn't done his job?
well I'm not an attorney so I can not comment on that...and if after hearing the case over and over and the ruling was that she should live, then I would say exactly the same thing......follow the law and seek appeal or remedy by legal means, not immoral or anarchistic means...I'm separating the emotion from it the best I can.....to me the ruling was not whether she "deserves" to live, but I thought the ruling was about what her wishes were and that they prevailed in court.
To say the least.
There should be an anti-Felos fund. It would immediately kick in and fund any party opposed to any of Felos's client. This would scare people from hiring Felos as it would trigger this fund against them.
REgardless of the facts, and regardless of the evidence, these people who, I'm betting, were praising Jeb last year for the effort he put into helping keep her alive havee conveniently forgotten it all, and are now looking for a scapegoat.
Sad.
thus is the misery here....seems like we have more legal scholars here than the Harvard Law Yard........
I'm consistant on Bork.... :)
I agree. I've seen both sides indulge in flame baiting and name calling to a shameful degree. From what I've seen, and I've followed this closely on FR, the majority of people who are outraged that Terri Schiavo is being starved/dehydrated to death have not advocated violence or anarchy.
That's the part that makes me the angriest - the Alan Keyes "He hasn't done anything!" stuff.
If they want to ruin him over the fact that he's not responding to their pressure now, that's one thing. But no one should DARE say that the one person who has been her strongest advocate in government "hasn't done anything".
Furthermore, this should tell us that if he did everything they wanted tomorrow, it wouldn't be enough to earn their loyalty - because they have none.
I personally still hold out hope for Terri, although many would figure me looney.
The more a story like this is talked about, the better the chance people will demand answers to the many mysteries that lurk beneath it.
There is so much that just stinks to high heaven.The truth can not be hidden for long this time and the folks (like Jeb) will not suffer for their efforts.
Oh, I hope Easter is a Day of Joy for you and yours.
Well, I appreciate consistency. : )
Exactly. They will demand more and more and more and more until there is nothing left to give, and then in the end they will destroy you...
Chad, they are the same people who will label someone a RINO or traitor the minute they don't like what they have to say and damned their other convictions.....like calling Hagel a RINO.....just cause he disagreed with the handling of the war, but when I looked it up, his ACU rating last year was an astonishing 100% and I think about 92% overall.....but reason and logic escape like we have said over and over only to be taken over by pure and simple emotion...
I for one never said what you claim...not that you care about telling the truth.
What we have said is that he has failed to do his sworn duty to protect the innocent life of one of his weakest citizens.
That is an unmistakable fact.
We eat our own. But we slow cook 'em first, so that they are nice and plump and juicy... sigh.
well MT....I know you are well meaning but if you ever have to go to court, do you want them to rule on law, or their personal moral beliefs.....if so, hope you don't get an atheist judge......
Why should you care? You left the GOP, remember? Find another candidate to run for governor in Florida if it's such a problem.
I hear Keyes ain't got anything real constructive to do right now, and he is there, so...
