As Jesse Jackson said after meeting with Jeb while Terri was still alive, "Her death will save millions of lives."
Chilling remark to say the least.

What a horrible story.
"For years, people who never asked to die have been quietly starved without much public attention, based on state laws and court opinions that permit third parties to make deadly decisions with little or no scrutiny or accountability," said attorney Burke Balch, the director of the NRLC's Robert Powell Center for Medical Ethics and the chief architect of the model law. "The outcry over the Schindler-Schiavo case has awakened millions of Americans to the inhumanity of this practice. Now we must act to reverse this trend, and restore a presumption against starvation and dehydration."

Frankly, I don't think much about going to a beauty parlor even when I feel healthy as a horse :-)
On a more serious note -- and also about female psychology -- I came across the transcript of ME Dr. Thogmartin's post-autopsy press conference. Certain visitors won't like it, but here he was again, debunking the bulimia myth, and in shirtsleeve language that captures the feelings of a slender, 26-year-old, attractive Terri Schiavo.
THOGMARTIN: Yes, I went back and interviewed as many people as I could contact, coworkers, obviously her husband, her family. Basically, what I'm left with is the impression that the potassium level of 2 was met with just belief, no skepticism, from day one, and actually presented at trial as being a fact.
[What he is saying, if I may use clearer wording, is that lawyer Gary Fox's bulimia story was immediately taken on FAITH, not fact. You can almost see him roll his eyes that it was "actually" presented at trial "as being a fact."]
[I roll my eyes listening to trolls, but you have to understand, this preposterous theory is all they have to alibi Michael Schiavo. So they keep it up, even after the myth has been exploded by the ME.]
And even though the medical literature even at that time showed that epinephrine, ventricular fibrillation, people with any sort of arrest, can have their potassium level drop precipitously. And since 1990, that has been confirmed repeatedly in several larger studies.
[This is flawless Columbo reasoning: You don't NEED a bulimia myth when you have several obvious and scientifically tested explanations, well known at the time, to fully explain that degree of potassium deficiency. It is bad thinking to look at a far-fetched theory -- and cardiac arrest due to bulimic purging is very rare indeed -- when you have an obvious answer to the puzzle right at hand.]
[Note that he says cardiac arrest can CAUSE the hypokalemia. That points to another obvious possible source of a low potassium reading -- violence.]
So once you eliminate the potassium problem, which is known in bulimics [this is classic medical investigation -- the bulimic myth has been RULED OUT], you end up with a 26-year-old that used to be heavy, that now lost the weight, is reveling in her thinness now, enjoying her life, and doesn't want to gain the weight back. And if that's a bulimic, there's a lot of bulimics out there. It's just not enough
Thanks a lot, I just spit coffee all over my monitor.
Ellen Goodman has driven a wedge between herself and reality since the Jurassic Era. Practice makes perfect.
Do No Harm says the list of 72 diseases and conditions reflects cases in which human patients have benefited from adult stem-cell treatments. In the side-by-side comparison with cases in which humans have benefited from embryonic stem-cell treatments, ESCR comes up short -- showing, in fact, "none."

AMAZING, that the St. Pete Times seems to be favoring Tom Gallagher in their article (excerpt) TOM GALLAGHER FOR FLA GOVERNOR --- (I believe Tom is gaining momentum. If Crist still wins, God help us all. There are citizens who are switching from Crist to Gallagher once they find out he's a secularist who's anything but for a culture of life. People will be getting the most handled politician in Amerika.)
“GALLAGHER A HIT AT HILLSBOROUGH REC”
“The approach to Tuesday night's meeting of the Hillsborough Republican Executive Committee didn't look too good for Tom Gallagher. Charlie Crist signs lined the curb outside the Alfano Conference Center south of the University of South Florida; and a burgundy Hummer plastered with Crist signs sat, precariously perched on a grass berm with its lights flashing.”
“But Gallagher, delivering an expanded version of his stump speech, won repeated applause from the crowd as he talked insurance, education and tort reform. And laughter answered his story about how his Catholicism and his wife's Baptist tradition have played out with their son Charlie, who was baptized Catholic but attends a Baptist church.”
“The performance netted him at least one Crist supporter, maybe more: ‘I'm so impressed I'm going to put a Gallagher bumper sticker on my new car,’ said Faye Getchell, who said she had planned to vote for Crist but won't anymore. ‘(Gallagher) hit all my buttons. I'm so conservative I squeak.’"
"He's shaken my faith (that Crist is the best candidate)," said Jason Montes, an insurance defense lawyer wearing a Crist campaign sticker on his shirt. ‘I'm not so sure now who I'll vote for. I was impressed.’"

The ACLU would luv for Crist to be governor. For any freepers to believe that Crist is a conservative, they need their heads examined. I wouldn't be surprised if moveon.org wasn't donating to Crist. He's so not a republican or a conservative. He proved that as Fla AG. Crist wouldn't know a civil right if it bit him on his skinny behind. Conservatives are for civil rights. Liberals used to be but now they are for Charlie Crist.
Terri screamed. Her dad told her she would have a milkshake again soon and to hang in there. Terri was afraid.
Florida's RINO Judges and politicians like Charlie Crist and Senator Jim King and even people from Terri's county including former Sheriff Rice and Leslie Waters helped MURDER HER for Michael Schiavo.
He's in Tallahassee because he "probably" wouldn't do very well if he had a private law practice.
He's a secular humanist, not pro-life and not a conservative! Just because he was conservative on SOME MEASURES doesn't make him a conservative. He was 100% stalinist on the value of Terri's life. As governor, is he going to stay out of everything which is how he spent his time as Fla AG?
Vote for Tom Gallagher and Florida will "definitely" not probably move forward instead of to a dark place run by the ACLU and their ilk. Crist is with the ACLU. Hello, Floridians, wake up. If you want ilk in charge, keep deluding yourself that Crist is one of us. He isn't and I don't mean "probably"!

Judge Mark Shames and then Judge George Greer, Judge W. Douglas Baird, Judge David Demers, the 2nd DCA and the Florida Supremes started Terri on a DEATH SPIRAL. She was fine the day they took away her nutrition and hydration.
TERRI WAS FINE AND THEY MURDERED HER FOR THE CULTURE OF DEATH. What was their finder's fee and hit fee?
Terri's killers will have to pay it all back on the other side and then some.
The loony right isn't loony. The loony one is on the bench and pulling in $140K per year and he MURDERED TERRI. (what else did Greer get is what inquiring minds want to know?) That was some kind of pact between the judges, The Pinellas County Sheriffs, the death lawyers and Mikey & the murderers, well, and with all the state agencies, including Fla AG Crist. They made a pact to kill an innocent woman.
You want to see evil? Visit Florida's Gulf Coast. Pinellas or Pasco County will do.
As Jesse Jackson said after meeting with Jeb while Terri was still alive, "Her death will save millions of lives."
Chilling remark to say the least.
Michael Schiavo is still not using his nursing education to help those not as fortunate as he. I hope someone is doing a FOI Request to find out exactly how many days supervisor schiavo (who was fired from McDonalds in the past) has missed from work doing the devil's work supporting candidates who are for death, which is no different than death by the hand of terrorists. Murder is evil and illegal no matter who the perpetrator is.
A democrat brags that he stopped a life. He snuffed out a human being and he brags about it on the campaign trail.
They have fallen so far they do not realize how sick they are.
The only pro-life candidate for Governor is Tom Gallagher, who is Catholic and in addition, his wife leads a major women's prayer group.
Gallagher is the only one with common sense and business experience too. Crist is just a lawyer who couldn't cut it so he mangled the state instead.
Exactly!
It always made me wonder what Terri's fate would have been if she had been black.
Interesting question.
I read this somewhere:

You once WERE a zygote.
You did not come from an embryo.

You did not come from a fetus.

You did not come from an adolescent.
