I believe if the public had been made aware of the circumstances of Terri's murder, that she was not terminally ill, or on life support (other than food or water), we would have seen a reversal in the polls - the majority would have been outraged.
This whole act shows how easily sheeple can be manipulated - I completely understand how Hitler was able to do the horrific things he had done. It's very frightening.
I also believe that when Michael Shiavo had that feeding tube put in Terri, years ago, it was his plan then, to use it against her so he could get rid of her. This is a nice little loop hole isn't it?
Have you seen the thread that covers the recent Zogby poll on this subject?
On the other hand, consider the larger number of posters on this forum who evidently heard all the information available on the case (including rumors favorable to both sides) and still chose death for Terri Schiavo. I'm not willing to say the pro-death enthusiasm was motivated primarily by ignorance of the facts.

Sure, he couldn't have gotten support to withhold food and water if she was eating normally. Add feeding tube then withdraw all food and water.
It will slowly filter through the population. This will, at some point, go on to the list of things the MSM 'should not talk about'.
It was written just for that purpose.
I, too, believe that is why he had it put in.
What is truly sad is that this murder was allowed to happen by our politicians and law enforcement people as they read the twisted polls!
How many times did those bringing us 'the news' say that she was brain-dead?
How many times did some say that she was in a coma?
How many times did we hear that she couldn't swallow? What the hell did she do with her 2 pints of spit each day?
God's law says 'thou shalt not kill'. Florida law says 'it is a felony to take the life of another'.
Yet, they (Schiavo, Greer, et al) did in fact kill her. And no charges are forthcoming?
Rev Law ends his writing quite appropriately, "God have mercy on us."
The question that needs to be asked publicly, is "Why was Terri denied food and drink through her mouth, as she was capable of taking with assistance?"
Do not believe what you see on TV.
All people know at some level that this was a government-ordered execution of an innocent woman by starvation.
The repercussions to this we do not know yet. But there are going to be repercussions.
