She's probably Catholic then.
Oh, thanks. I still can't access www.terrisfight.org . Wonder why.
This is a red herring. Be more specific. Let's take pursuit of happiness as an example of where this line of thought goes nowhere...Lots of drug users want the ability to pursue their happiness. Others disagree... see any number of "Marijauna is the devil's drug" threads on this site. Just to say "it would be perfectly acceptable" I believe is a "whitewash" argument to frame things in a simplistic black and white point of view. Sorry but the Constitution is what we have - we better protect it and not stretch it into a living breathing mostrosity just because something happened we don't like. Get busy and enact legislation to keep what you don't like from happening again. Don't blame the Sheriff because he didn't exceed his authority. If you want to argue that the authority was there because of spacific articles in the Constitution I might be convinced.
Please parade your ignorance elsewhere.
A headline we won't see -
Judicial Murderers Starve and Dehydrate Woman to Death
The news reported MS was alone in the room with her when she died. Did he finish what it appears he started fifteen years ago?
Commie.

#1283 On target. The image comes to mind of judicial pharisees arguing their legalisms and legislative and executive Pontius Pilates washing their hands and thinking that they are thereby bear no guilt.
And no, I don't equate Terri with our Lord, but some human situations repeat themselves again and again throughout history.
I would wager that all of us have duties that we fail to discharge. It seems to me, if George says the strong have a duty to protect the weak, and the weak have not been protected, then the strong have failed to discharge their duty. Take it as a sort of admission of failure. Probaly not a personal adimssion, we all rationalize our actions as being "all we could do." I assume George is referring to the judiciary as "the strong", but he doesn't get specific there.
I'm not sure how all this will shake out politically. I am just struck to my very core over what "we" have allowed to occur. It is an abomination. It is a gross injustice.
Not right to adjudge for ourselves the meaning of Florida and US Constitutions. Not right! It is our duty.
And I am not alone, giving my own specious reading of our fundamental laws. Others have gone to the Florida capitol and delivered the just and correct understanding of Jebb's authority and duty in this case.
Should the day come that we forfeit our duty to understand and make correct judgement of the Constitution, justly shall we become the slaves of tyranny.
Oregon is the only state where this has been "Legalized" after $oro$ spent a lot of money.
Now we will see "Case Law" euthanasia based on the Terri case.
So Death is Beautiful Judges around the nation will be free to cite this case to push their Eugenics/Euthanasia dream for Americans besides them and their family members.
Your wallet is MINE...er I mean ours.

I don't know if I've ever posted to you before, but now seems an especially good time to do so.
I've read with interest your posts about you and your son. I almost feel like I know him! God definitely knew what he was doing when He chose you to be his mom. You are an angel on earth.
I'm almost out of tears. But when they come again, I'll think of you.
I meant when it clearly goes against a law of nature - such as human freedom and liberty in the case of slaves in the 1800s. The "law of the land" clearly denied them this unalienable right.
So you're agreeing with the comment that Terri Schiavo is Christ crucified? Or crucified at all?
The poster did not state crucified outside of making it akin to the Messiah.
People are a little crazy in their thinking.
Natural law, yes. We do not have to obey laws which are contrary to Natural Law or Divine Law. In circumstances where an immoral law (or court ruling) which goes against Natural or Divine Law would lead to loss of human life or severe injury (mutilation or torture), a Catholic has the obligation to disobey that law to defend human life. As do all Christians and all men. One could cite the Nuremberg Code here as well.
