Lifebuoy stops B.O.

A Delaware woman has become the next Terri Schiavo as her parents engage in a massive legal and philosophical debate about whether to subject her to euthanasia. Richardson is a 23-year-old woman who overdosed on heroin in August 2006 while she was three months pregnant with a baby girl.
Doctors kept Lauren on life support until she delivered her baby in February 2007. Shortly thereafter, her parents began a fight that is reminiscent of the battle over Terri's life and death.
As in the Terri Schiavo case, physicians have been quick to label Lauren as having a persistent vegetative state -- something Terri's family called dehumanizing and medically inaccurate as patients have recovered from it.
Edith Towers, Lauren's mother, wants to remove her feeding tube and starve and dehydrate her to death in the same manner that Michael Schiavo subjected Terri.
Towers claims Lauren would never have wanted to live as a permanently disabled person, but Lauren, as with Terri, did not have a living will or other advance directive spelling out her treatment wishes. She claims Lauren told her during Terri's battle that she would not want to live like her.
On the other side is Randy Richardson, Lauren's father is fighting to save her life and wants to be appointed as her guardian to ensure she receives appropriate medical care and treatment.
"She's committed no crime and doesn't deserve to have this death imposed on her," Richardson told the News Journal newspaper on Wednesday. "We just want to give her a chance."
Lauren no longer uses a ventilator or other breathing apparatus and is not on artificial life support -- something Randy contends is showing progress.
Towers is winning the legal battle in court as she was awarded guardianship of Lauren, but Randy Richardson has filed an appeal.
The News Journal indicates Delaware Court of Chancery Master Sam Glasscock III has put any action taking Lauren's life on hold while the court reviews the guardianship ruling -- a process that could take as much as three months to complete.
Regardless of the decision, an appeal to the Delaware Supreme Court is expected.
Randy Richardson also has other concerns about his daughter and says that Towers, his ex-wife, has not allowed Lauren's baby to see her.
Richardson and the Delaware Pro-Life Coalition released a video on Wednesday that shows Lauren at a nursing home reacting to family members and a dog.
The pro-life group also organized a prayer vigil near the Arbors Rehab Center in New Castle.

If the GOP had a bit of common sense (and I am under no illusions that they do), they would undertake a major campaign to educate the public as to exactly who Saul Alinsky is and how Hillary and Obama both totally embrace his beliefs. I do not believe that any of the Soviet dictators were as far left as Alinsky (Trotsky probably was and look how Stalin dealt with him).
Left translates to sinister from Latin and other languages. And that spells evil and the Devil as it has for eons. Right?
Fabulous press release!!!!
Goes a long way to reveal the evil that lies beneath
the Obama as messiah image.

Over 1,400 black babies die daily at the hands of
American abortionists.
The woman in a coma at The Largo Medical Center after the Pinellas Cty Jail neglected to treat her fever for five days is in the ONLY local hospital whose first question is "would you like a Living Will?" I'm afraid this woman Dorothy will be under-treated and they will convince her family that there's no hope.
Remember, the Sheriff's office (Mikey's very job in the women's jail) would like to do a coverup. If poor Dorothy is bumped off and cremated and the ME does a report vindicating Mikey's ward, it's just business as usual.
Pray for Dorothy. She's surrounded by death advocates.
ON ANOTHER NOTE, Governor Charlie Crist had a really GAY argyle sweater on yesterday. How can he get away with that? (see my tag line).

Now her mom can sue The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office for gross neligence. They gave Dorothy a Sudafed for a 5 day fever instead of giving her antibiotics.
At hospice and even at work, he's killed again.
Her death will be in Tampa Bay media tomorrow. There is also an investigation, real or faux. If it's SA Bernie McCabe, it will be faux, fo shur.

There is something about Michael, he hates antibiotics.
Poor Linda Hogan. She's going to get hosed in the Hulk Hogan divorce. And, there's a Marine in a coma related to their divorce John Graziano who's family is suing the Hogans (Bolleas) for the mva. Graziano is in a Tampa VA Hospital so maybe they will take good care of him.
For Florida, I’m freezin’ right now. Tourists, stay home cuz you’re not missing a thing.
It was 2 above at my house this morning. Can you match that?
Yeah, sighhhh, it’s 16 below zero here at the moment. I thought it was a bit chilly. Guess I won’t worry about global warming until later in the morning. Supposed to heat up to 21 once the sun comes out and afternoon gets here. But with the last snow the world here is stunningly beautiful.
Happy leap year day everyone! February Marches on and April May...
Today we take leaps of a day but not leaps of Faith.
