Several bloggers have drawn attention to a strange lead in a Washington Post story about the Terri Schiavo autopsy results. The June 16 Post story by David Brown said that "Terri Schiavo died of the effects of a profound and prolonged lack of oxygen to her brain on a day in 1990, but what caused that event isn't known and may never be, the physician who performed her autopsy said

RN Ford Comments: Note the dates of when Schiavo says Terri left the earth. If he truly felt that, I wonder how he justified upsetting the lives of two physicians in a med mal suit, and taking all that money from an insurance company in 1993. If this marker doesn't summarize the entire story of how his mind works, and who he is, nothing will ever awaken America to Terri's tragic story. He kept his promise? To whom?

What always gets me is that so many otherwise intelligent people can't understand the difference between "brain-damaged" and "brain-dead".
The operations of the federal government will be most extensive and important in times of war and danger; those of the State governments, in times of peace and security. As the former periods will probably bear a small proportion to the latter, the State governments will here enjoy another advantage over the federal government. The more adequate, indeed, the federal powers may be rendered to the national defense, the less frequent will be those scenes of danger which might favor their ascendancy over the governments of the particular States.--Federalist #45
Funny, I don't recall seeing anything in the Constitution about a "right-to-die", or a "right-to-murder-your-inconvenient-spouse."
Maybe YOUR side could stop referring to human beings as "vegetables"?
I have seen numerous people on YOUR side who think that ANYONE who requires a feeding tube should just not be fed.
I'll stick with the side that errs on the side of life, thank you.
Pharisees? You are comparing mine and other's response to the article about Felos Pharisees? Oh please! Have u read the article? Felos is a sick man and yes, unless he turns from that life he is not going to be given grace from God in the after life. There is nothing hypocritical with me saying that! We are all sinners, but need to repent. I have and I hope Felos does for his sake as well. At this point it is clear he hasn't!
He sure did forget, didn't he! Big no no!!!
The great thing about writing a book is that you don't have to answer questions under oath, in cross-examination.
Yes you do. It's in the same place that states the federal government has the right to involve itself in the internal affairs of the state. Stop looking at the Constitution as a list of rights. It was only intended as a document stating the limitations of the federal government
What would you suggest? And I didn't know I had a 'side'. I would just like to see a Constitutional argument based on facts. Not hyperbole and not baseless name calling of elected officials.
As I said, I think it's somewhat sad that the Florida Supreme Court decided as they did. But they did. And from a Constitutional standpoint that's where it should have stopped.
"A nurse bearing false witness?" Wanna care to back that up, pal?
But he's not in it for the money, they say.
And so you have no problem with someone being starved to death by order of the state.
How nice.
They say.
I do? Well, then, since you seem to know more about what the Constitution says than I do, would you be willing to make that same argument, to, say, Ann Coulter? No? Maybe it's because you are just talking out of your ass, reading things into a document that do not exist, much like the so-called "right to privacy" and "separation of church and state."
Are you even a conservative? Because you sure as hell are not acting like one.
Your reading comprehension skills are pathetic. How nice.
Do you not realize that misrepresenting other person's beliefs doesn't prove your point (unless your point is that you're dishonest)?
Good. Too bad Terri didn't. The courts just chose to take the word of her adulterous "husband" that she wanted to die. (Not that he had anything to gain by her death or anything.)
Why not? The court's argument was based on a 'distraught husband channeling' a non-brain dead woman.
If you don't believe me, perhaps you'll believe the Founders? They made their position quite clear:
Amendment IX
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
One would think that would be clear enough. Go figure.
And exactly how am I doing that? He has not yet denied my allegation.
Furthermore, if you see something happening that is not only criminally wrong (and believe me, taking the life of an innocent person is a criminal act) but also morally wrong, it is your duty to stand up and say something about it. In my book, just sitting by on your hands while an innocent's life ebbs away from starvation and dehydration is the same as condoning it.
You don't like that? Too bad. I didn't ask for your opinion anyway.
