In the court (and courts) of life and death, a little 11-year-old Massachusetts girl named Haleigh Poutre could be the next Terri Schiavo. For those who have not heard the tragic story, Haleigh was beaten nearly to death last September, allegedly by her adoptive mother and stepfather. The beating left her unconscious and barely clinging to life.
Within a week or so of the beating, her doctors had written her off. They apparently told Haleigh's court-appointed guardian, Harry Spence, that she was "virtually brain dead." Even though he had never visited her, Spence quickly went to court seeking permission to remove her respirator and feeding tube. The court agreed, a decision affirmed recently by the supreme court of Massachusetts.
And so, no doubt with the best of intentions, a little girl who had already suffered so much was stripped by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts of even the chance to fight to stay alive. If she didn't stop breathing when the respirator was removed, which doctors expected, she would slowly dehydrate to death.
Close Call
Then came the unexpected:

With those long nails and the green skin, she looks more in tune with today's funky fashions than Dorothy. Death Nell, if you are listening in, try doing your skin green and letting your nails grow. Can't hurt. Might help.
Remember that slogan back in the day..."Give a hoot, don't pollute"? Aaaarrrggghhhh!
Are you watching the game, and if so, who are you rooting for? We're going for the Steelers.
I'm for the Steelers since I just ckd the score and they are ahead. Go steelers.
Terri Schiavo was from Pennsylvania. So, go Steelers.
Go Steelers? What are the chances you'd be for the Patriots?
Unless you want Crist to be Donald Trump's puppet governor. Governor Man From Glad, no thank you...Crist is the ultimate suckup.
I didn't even know which teams were playing until I turned on the game. Pretty pathetic for a former sports widow, lol! The Steelers have always been a kick ass team, and I wish So Cal still had the Raiders. Whoever got them can keep the Lambs.(actually the Rams-that was my ex's nickname for them)
The Steelers are kicking major butt. This is a damn good game!
Your posts are increasingly incoherent.
Nobody who played for Lombardi back in the 1960s looked like that woolly mammoth playing for the Steelers last night.
Cheers for the Steelers.
You don't see "nice" if it hits you in the face. FV was trying to be friendly to you, but all looks dark through your glasses if it involves FV, I notice.
You share that trait with many of the proven trolls long since zotted from these threads. Hmmmm.
Are you ever on these threads to say something decent or "conservative"? Or will you continue in these attacks on those who fight for Terri?
Excerpt
But her mother, Caroline, has been threatened with legal proceedings unless she sends the 10-year-old to a special school at least half an hour's drive from their home in Dufftown, Aberdeenshire..
Her local authority is insisting Gemma attends school because she will get stimulation from contact with other children. Her mother has been warned that if she refuses, the case could be referred to a children's hearing.
But Thomson, 45, who wants to care for her daughter at home, has accused Aberdeenshire Council of being heavy-handed and "politically correct".
Just leave my child in peace, pleads mother

Terri is dead. A true conservatives would face that fact and use it as incentive to effect actual changes in the laws instead of simply pounding away at a keyboard making hysterical false allegations and calling people vile names (or, worse, taking cheap shots at their appearance, e.g., the "bags" under Michael Schiavo's eyes). That's what a real conservative would do if he or she really felt that strongly about what happened to Mrs. Schiavo.
Are you obsessed with Floriduh Voter? You chase after every post FV types on FR.
No.
"Real conservatives" believe in the sanctity of life and that it is wrong to kill an innocent like Terri Schindler Schiavo.
A "real conservative" would have recognized the olive branch of friendship offered and not snap at it.
Do you believe in the Sanctity of Life, that it was wrong to kill Terri?
Or do you take Mikey's side and believe it is hunky dory?
Is "conservative" to you something you look up in a dictionary, or modify with supplements, or is it something that is innate which guides your life?
I ask you these things because your responses are more and more like those of trolls long past. They, like others of the left, use words as tools, not for their meaning, but for effect.
We try to be civil to you and give you the opportunity to show something positive, but so far no results. Please prove this wrong.
Terri's body is dead. Her legacy lives and grows.
poor sc, can't even talk bout sports without flaming FV.
TERRI BEING MURDERED WAS VILE AND AGAINST THE LAW. After that horrid day of her death, March 31, 2005, all cards are on the table. If Michael cannot stand the bags under his eyes, I'm sure he can afford plastic surgery WITH TERRI'S MONEY AS PER USUAL.
Why are you on this thread? You obviously are not going to change the minds of the posters here so why do you feel the need to hang out and argue with everyone?
We care about Euthanasia, we cared about Terri. We care about anyone that is being put down like a dog. If you don't than just drop it already and find another place to share your opinions.
