What a crock - she was dead 15 years ago.

[PetroniusMaximus]

***And lamentably, he adds, even many Christians believed it was right for the state to sanction the brain-damaged Florida woman's death.***

They believed it because that was the only logical conclusion they came to based on the limited and distorted infomation the Media was giving them.

The Media is the issue.

Listening to the MSM I got a very different picture than the one I received for knowlegable post here on FR.

We must work to break the Media's stonghold on this society.

Who cares what this R. C. Sproal thinks!

People of faith will have antennas out for what the Lord says to actual men of God like Rick Warren, Joel Osteen, Marcus Lamb etc.

The barbarians are definitely at the gate, and at the Walmarts, malls, stores, everywhere. I see them every weekend and they get worse every weekend. Just 7 days will pass and I can find the barbarians acting worse then the animals in the cages at the zoos. They make the caged animals at the zoo look so calm, orderly, thoughtful and civilized.

I am so tired of this "She was gone 15 years ago" rhetoric. I've heard that for 30 years. That is THE most offensive thing to say. I remember working in a nursing home years ago and hearing family members saying that of their parents. "They are not THERE anymore!" Of course they are THERE. Where else would they be! They are NOT dead, they have not YET passed on to heaven and will NOT till their heart stops. Until that point they ARE there.

There is always a tone in the way those who say that "They are not there" say it also. It is as if they are discarding something, an ol piece of rubbish, that has no use. They no longer have to deal with it anymore. It is not up to snuff for them. EVIL, selfish, self absorbed talk this is!

ksen, I thought Sproul believed in predestination as to all events, including the manner of Terri's death. care to comment?

One of the most moving statements about the Terri Schiavo killing was made by Martin Katz (The American Thinker).

'Neo-Barbarism'

There's nothing "neo" about starving people to death. Hitler, Stalin, Mao did a much better job of it than Michael Schiavo or Judge Geer.

Actually this is the not the first one. The Quinlan case was the first that involved court, but that was a little different. Then there was the Cruzan case that went to the Supreme Court and bounced back to the Missouri courts. In the Wendland case out in California, he died of pneumonia while they were still battling it out in court. I should have been paying more attention.

Terri is definitely the most high profile one and the most dastardly. It was slow and terrible. We musn't forget that they had done this to her twice before, and she must have suffered some ill effects during those attempts until the feeding tube was ordered restored.

BTW I just heard on the radio that her funeral mass was being said. May God rest her soul and give her family peace.

I deeply respect the thoughts and wisdom of RC Sproul...

..and he is spot on with this piece...

Thanks for the post.

Why am I reminded of Asimov's 'Foundation' series?

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Sproul says the Church needs to rise to the occasion of this crisis and fulfill its role as the conscience of the nation

Amen, Pastor Sproul. If not the church, who?

Thanks, Keeper, for pinging me to this excellent article.

And thanks to Churchillbuff for posting it.

Err on the side of life.

Another 200 post pissing contest.

[the invisib1e hand]

umm, hello! What was Roe v. Wade?

rhetoric-alert.

[Frumanchu]

For anyone not yet convinced of what Dr Sproul was talking about, consider that someone who is neither comatose, vegetative, nor terminal is being starved to death RIGHT NOW in Georgia.
