Yet sadly some who claim to be conservatives think that everyone should just forget it ever happened.

Good points.

[TAdams8591]

Yes, I know. They couldn't be more wrong. It should NEVER be forgotten. Through the Schindler foundation and their honorable, courageous work it won't be. I'm sure the foundation will also be holding and annual event to commemorate Terri, every year, on the anniversary of her death.

Some people are quickly forgotten, but not Terri.

[TAdams8591]

Truly I cannot remember Terri without tears, or without the nauseating feeling in the pit of my stomach I had every day that she was being starved and dehydrated to death. It was and still is, a ghoulish nightmare.

Obama is right, America is not what it once was, but probably not for the reasons he believes this is true. Liberalism is destroying the country. We cannot survive economically and militarily, without a spiritual and moral awakening.

Terri's case (and those like hers) was/is a strong indicator of our exactly how far we've fallen.

Although the ratio of women at risk for dehydration/starvation "by committee" or by thugs in black robes, euthanasia (illegal but not really) affects children, seniors, disabled, men and women.

Not all of them are married. The married the wrong guy premise is false.

It's her own fault for marrying poorly sounds like it's her own fault for being raped.

BLAME THE VICTIM, not the PERPETRATORS! That is liberalism at its finest.

BUMP

[Dante3]

This blame the victim scenario is offensive. BTW, sociopaths can be so charming and persuasive, they have fooled the smartest of people.

[wagglebee]

Even the Holocaust deniers have the good sense to simply pretend it never happened and not blame the victims.

Here’s part of the automatic e-mail I received from the Foundation. Maybe you received it, too.

‘”Mark Pickup is disabled (triplegic) with advanced multiple sclerosis and has spoken internationally on the importance of respecting the value and dignity of all life, including those with disabilities. Mr. Pickup lives in Alberta, Canada is convinced that if a society does not embrace the sanctity dignity and equality of all human life then any barbarity is possible.

Mr. Pickup states that, “A truly civilized society includes in its tender embrace every human life. This includes every child developing in the womb, those people with mental or physical disabilities, those with terminal conditions, derelicts, the old and people who are not wanted or even loved by anyone.”

Mr. Pickup founded the Christian disability organization “HumanLifeMatters” and believes that it is Love that defines enlightened and civilized society. But he warns that, “Love without God becomes selective, coercive and arbitrary”.’
