For many, Schiavo's life was an inspiration

what happens during an autopsy? Pictures if you have them.

That is why the records are sealed, not because of some nefarious conspiracy. As soon as the medical records are unsealed to satify the tin foil kooks, the National Inquirer or someone else is going to publish pictures and any other goodies they can get a handle on.

Hey you were the one worried about pictures getting out to further upset your tender little self. I was merely pointing out you cant have it both ways. Believe me, you release this stuff to the press or congress and you might as well plaster everything on the front page of the New York Times.

I know - I don't want to see them. However, I fail to trust the reasons why any judicial decisions in this case have been made.

This case has never passed the "smell test" and in processing the case - it appeared that nothing could have prevented the death of Terri.

Why? Why did Terri have to die? Why did Michael fail to divorce her and give her custody to her parents since he did not want her any longer?

There is no good answer as to why Michael did what he did. And, so very many of us realize this. Some of you don't you prefer to stick to the points of law, rights of the husband, and close your eyes to what is really going on here.

But, how come the law never protected the rights of Terri in all of the 15 years of prosecuting this case? If Terri did not wish to die, but died at the whim of an estranged husband, why were her rights not protected as an American citizen?

Answer? The law has been manipulated in order for the euthanasia proponents to further their agenda - in this case - to get on the books that "hearsay evidence" is sufficient to kill.

This has been a spectacular eye-opening moment for those that believe there is an evil agenda in place, that there is sanctity of life over the death culture and we believe that Terri was the sacrificial lamb.

It is not right, it can never be explained as right and if you and the others believe it was right and support it, you are not really our compatriots in the fight to overcome liberalism. This IS the liberal agenda in play.

"The Terri Schiavo case was the focal point of a freak show. but go ahead and feel good about yourselves because you chose an easy answer to a small issue. And please, continue to ignore the real issues that threaten life."

No thanks. You seem to be doing a good enough job by yourself.

By the way, some of us can actually walk and chew gum at the same time. Some of the comments here, some of the comments in your posts even, imply that we can only deal with one issue at a time and somehow our being opposed to the murder of a disabled woman excludes us from being concerned about others, or supporting our troops, and so on.

Take care-- and please be careful climbing on and off your high horse. It appears that it is a long, long way to the ground.

Sorry but I still don't get your point.

Caring about one MAJOR ISSUE (life vs. death/good vs. evil) does not preclude caring about OTHER MAJOR ISSUES as well. The issues in this case are far bigger than the life of this one unfortunately disabled person.

Sadly, you don't seem to be able grasp that point and apparently don't have the mental agility to care about more than one issue at the same time like most people do!
