Life-and-truth BTTT.
Terri's death is one of the most unfortunate and brazenly apalling events of the new millenium thus far in our country (not as high as 9/11, but above Michael Moore's rise to liberal prominence).
I was just talking about Terri yesterday to my mother. I cannot stand to read anything about her and her botched case, she was killed, plain and simple. I am still outraged!
More proof that the National Socialist Democrats can get away with murder and laugh about it all the way to book deals.
Kate Adamson did an incredible work in helping Americans understand this from the patient perspective. Her service in telling her story was so important. She is articulate and one of the few sources of truth in this whole sordid matter. Many thanks to her - and to the wonderful husband who championed her cause.
Thanks
Of course, one does not have to be an "expert" to recognize that this distorted view of death by starvation and dehydration defies common sense.
If starvation is not all that bad, then why should we be concerned about the plight of famine victims?
I don't think it's valid to compare someone who is terminally ill and conscious (and dying) to Terri Schiavo or to people who are starving because of a famine. Terri wasn't terminally ill and people in the midst of a famine are not refusing to eat.
IMO, the author is comparing apples to oranges.
Now when will the NY Slimes and the MSM tell the world her story? I saw her on the Larry King show and that was it.
There's pretty good evidence that unborn children feel pain, too, when they are killed in the womb. Certainly this is true of late-term abortions, and probably of fairly early abortions.
The leftists see no harm in doing to people what they would never think of doing to seals or whales.
This may actually be true. The problem here is that Terry Schiavo was 'at the end of life' for 15 years. IOW, she was not physically at the end of life.
You nailed it.
In addition, who are we to say that her mental state was "unacceptable". Just look at that smile.
Terri, we miss you!!
From one who hasn't moved on.
Just try telling the IRS that you're writing off all your grocery bills as a medical expense.
Yesterday I read the statement my Archbishop made about Terri's death. He called it euthanasia. I wanted to whack him up side the head for not calling it what it was-murder.
Even though he said it was wrong, and that euthanasia of those in a PVS is always wrong, he gave the impression that it was not the horrific, reprehensible, inhumane, disgusting, and vile act that it was. I was also PO'd he seemed to buy the PVS BS.
Fortunately or unfortunately, I will never have the "Bishop's ear" so I guess he needn't worry about my opinion on his statement.
Write him a letter and straighten him out. He's falling into the MSM and PC trap.
