No, I will never be praying for Michael.

Indeed you must pray for Michael.

Is there a more compelling advocate for the Pro-Life cause than Dr. Bernard Nathanson? Was there a more compelling truthteller about the essence, the reach and the reality of communism in this nation than Whittaker Chambers?

While I have my doubts, as anyone would, about some who profess to be "former Democrats", "former radicals" or "former Soviets" ... not only is hope the Christian commission but it's the converts who generally have an understanding or insight which fires them up with a courage and steadfastness sorely lacking at time with those who've taken truth or life for granted all their lives.

Pray for Michael.

I have a hard time with those who like to think or say that "so and so is with the Lord now" the moment anyone of whom they're fond passes away. But in this instance, it would appear clear that Terri not only fought the good fight but, in all innocence, suffered a purgation here on earth of singularly human cruelty. I think it's quite safe in this instance to feel confident she is with her Maker.

Pray for Michael.

He is not the only hypocrite villain of the piece but he's the only who was acting under duress the entire time. Those who wrote the legislation, enforced it judicially or purposefully abandoned the letter of their Hippocratic oath to serve as hired gun expert probably will have far more to answer for than he.

Like abortionists who prey on desperate, hopeless women whose own actions have landed them in a bind such that the death of another appears their own salvation, Michael too has been latched onto by those who, sizing up the circumstances, recognized how malleable he would be and used him to further the cause of a more "humane" euthanasia process in this nation.

Oh my Jesus, forgive us our sins,
save us from the fires of hell,
lead all souls to heaven,
especially those most in need of Thy mercy.

What an example it would set, Terri Schiavo's parents do the true catholic thing, and Forgive them all....This i do not expect them to do but it would be quite a spectacle.

I'm an agnostic, but I will "pray for Michael." Pray he gets a nice, long terminal illness.
