After much hard work that has gone on for well over a year, it's been a week and 2 days since Terri has been without food and hydration.
Many asking the question how we could have become such a callous society as to deny a helpless human the basic necessity of food and water.
Terri's plight has brought to light many problems in the judicial system and opened our eyes to the fact that some laws need to be changed.
The work will continue to protect helpless individuals from suffering the same injustice as Terri.
Why tomorrow? Why ALWAYS tomorrow? Why not today, tonight?
You got that right!!!!
God works in mysterious ways.
Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight."
Thanks, ExPat. I'm glad you feel that way also. If it weren't for Governor Bush, Terri would have been dead two years ago. He worked hard on the FL senators this time to pass the bill, but there's only so much one can do to change another's mind. He also cancelled his Easter plans so he'd be around just in case something came up that he could do. And he's made it very clear that he wants Terri to live. I believe he has principles, and that he chooses to live within the law and follow the perimeters of the judicial system. Not everyone agrees, but I personally can't judge him.
Now these tyrannical judges are another story ...
That will be very effective.
If they can give water for the cameras, they can give water for Terri.
Allen Combs say it would be dangerious to give Terri a drink of water!
I tried to go to most of the links, all were denied, that 'page not found' thing.
But of ALL of THEM...The one above is the one I want to read!
Why did Judge Greer REFUSE to investigate the bone scan?
You almost hope that is happening, ya never know!
TWENTY FIVE EMAILS AND COLMES IS STILL THERE. I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE. I WANT A HANNITY SHOW ONLY. Not that Fox ever listens to me. Twenty five emails and Idiot is still there.
good to see you on the board tonight. Like seeing all my familiar friends..
"Allen Combs say it would be dangerious to give Terri a drink of water!"
It's because he had some weird doctor on saying it would harm her if she got alot of fluids suddenly...but I have heard that it would not harm her from other doctors
I pray all day for God's will about Terri's feeding tube and her health.
I know it is not God's will that innocent human beings are murdered.
I know it is not God's will that people torture others.
And I know death is not God's will.
But God has given "man" a will; we must pray that "man" will align itself with God's.
that is a bunch of crap! Alan has no idea what he is talking about!
They wouldn't give her a drink of water, anyway! Water isn't what she needs, only. She needs electrolytes and they would give it to her in a drip.
"TWENTY FIVE EMAILS AND COLMES IS STILL THERE. I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE. I WANT A HANNITY SHOW ONLY. Not that Fox ever listens to me. Twenty five emails and Idiot is still there."
I agree, I cannot stand colmes, he is ugly to look at and I never want to hear what he has to say.
This is fom a post a year and a half ago:
Interesting Timeline Posted By: Frank Date: Thursday, 13 November 2003, at 4:15 p.m.
Many people, groups, and the media have harshly critcized Jeb Bush and the Florida legistature for passing "Terri's Bill", claiming among other things that it is uncostitutional to pass a law that applies only to one person.
Consider this timeline:
May 1997 - Deborah Bushnell send a leter to Judge Shames (he was before Judge Greer) saying that the Schindlers should be involved in Terri's care during her final days (since Michael intends to move Terri to hospice and remove her feeding tube).
Aug. 1997 - Felos sends a letter to the Schindler's notifying them of pending action to remove Terri's feeding tube.
May 1998 - George Felos is hired and files a petition in Court to remove Terri's feeding tube.
April 6, 1999 - House Bill 2131 was introduced in the legislature by the Florida Elder Affairs & Long-Term Care Committee to amend Section 765 (Civil Rights) of the Florida Statutes. two weeks later, the legislature Committee on Judiciary recommmended that House Bill 2131 should also change the Section 765.101 legal definition of life prolonging procedures to add: "INCLUDING ARTIFICIALLY PROVIDED SUSTENENCE AND HYDRATION, WHICH SUSTAINS, RESTORES, OR SUPPLANTS A SPONTANEOUS VITAL FUNCTION".
Oct 1, 1999 - Senate Bill 2228 (formerly HB2131) becomes law changing Section 765.101 of the Florida Statutes to include the above.
Jan 24, 2000 - Trial begins to decided whether to remove Terri's feeding tube.
Feb 11, 2000 - Judge Greer orders that Terri's feeding tube can be removed.
If you followed the timeline, Felos filed a petition to remove Terri's feeding tube BEFORE the law was changed, and the trial began AFTER the law was changed (and Greer approved removal of the tube).
Why is that? Did the Florida legislature knowingly or unknowingly pass a law that would apply specifically to Terri? I don't think there were any other hotly contested "right to die" cases at that time. (The cases of Cruzan, Bludworth, and Browning were decided years before). I wonder who paid-off or influenced who to get the law changed?
I would trust God over those idiots any day.
I'm afraid you'll need to request a full-blown exorcism.
TWENTY FIVE EMAILS? And you just kept sending them? You are to be commended. God bless you Lovegirl, your screen name aptly describes you...
yeah, giving Terri water might be "harmful" to her.
THE IDIOCY!!!!
