PINELLAS PARK, United States (AFP) - As a brain-damaged woman passed her 12th day without food or drink in a hospice here, Terri Schiavo's parents are planning to again petition the US Supreme Court to intervene, their lawyer said.
As a brain-damaged woman passed her 12th day without food or drink in a hospice here, Terri Schiavo's parents are planning to again petition the US Supreme Court to intervene, their lawyer said. Bob and Mary Schindler have been rebuffed by a series of courts in recent weeks and days, their latest setback came Wednesday after the 11th US Circuit Court of Appeals rejected their appeal to reopen the case into whether their daughter's feeding tube should be reinserted.
But the woman's parents appear set to continue waging their legal battle.
"I can confirm for you that we are now preparing to file an appeal with the United States Supreme Court," the Schindler's lawyer, Steve Kluth, said in a statement issued by his office.
However, the Schindlers have already been rebuffed once by the US' highest court in Washington on March 24.
Terri Schaivo's feeding tube was removed March 18, triggering an intense legal battle and a right-to-life political storm that sparked the involvement of the US Congress and US President George W. Bush.
Bush signed legislation backing a federal court review of Terri's case -- she has been in a persistent vegitative state for 15 years -- but the federal courts have so far declined to intervene on her behalf.
ROTFLOL!!!!!!
They are fighting for their child's life. But in fighting for their child's life they are fighting for us all.
This is bigger then Terri to those judges. It's all about their power. And we have seen they have no mercy in showing us their power. Because they had no mercy for one of the least of us, they will have none for the rest of us.
But Judge Greer reminds me, in that same parable, of the judge who feared neither God nor man.
He has chosen excommunication from his church (no fear of God) and blatant disregard for an act of Congress and its subpeona (no fear of man).
I think they (MSM) are acting as the 'cheerleaders' for hastening her death. They don't come right out and say it, but now the attitude appears to be "let her go peacefully". Of course this is meant to assuage any guilty consciences out there that might have been thinking there is something horribly wrong with starving/dehydrating someone to death.
Calling the Judge a Nazi is just plane wrong. If you want to vent, why not vent at those who had the option to avoid this whole mess.
And I have NONE for them. They are despicable.
Bob and Mary Schindler are parents beyond compare.
They deserve to keep their daughter almost as much as Terri deserves to live.
Has there been a Schiavo thread you haven't posted those pictures in?
Good idea! They all stink!
History will.
I'm sure had someone told her she would be starved to death she would have said "hell no".
I just hope someone will start a prayer thread for her because the time is growing near and no one apparently can or is willing stop it.
Perhaps I should tell you how I really feel.
Especially since CBS already posted her orbit.
I wonder what in Sam Hell they get out of constantly repeating that lie!
No need to. Anyway, freepers who are still stuck on narrowband connections would probably prefer if you didn't post them, but you'll do as you please of course.
Whatever the outcome, the Schindlers are going to be able to live with themselves. They have done everything in their power to save Terri's life. I know the opposition side is full of sociopaths who feel no guilt or shame, but if they manage to murder Terri, maybe what they have done will come back to haunt them in some way.
"Bush signed legislation backing a federal court review of Terri's case -- she has been in a persistent vegitative state for 15 years -- but the federal courts have so far declined to intervene on her behalf."
She has NOT been in a persistent vegetative state for 15 years. That is a LIE! We are witnessing the judicial murder of an innocent, helpless disabled person. Hardened criminals convicted of vicious murder get better treatment. Is there still hope for Terri?
See #33
Judge Bork says they won't, and says why. I'm not defending them, by the way.
