Bobby Schinder of the Terri Schiavo Life and Hope Network told LSN that he was trying to establish contact with the family, but admitted that at this late stage there might be little that could be done.

Unfortunately it is probably too late.

“Now we are powerless spectators, just watching our mother die,” he said. “In our culture, we would never sentence a person to die from hunger.”

Yes, they would just hack them to bits with machetes instead.

What is the point of this article exactly?

Now the libs are in a pickle. Which subgroup wins: the race contingent or the deatheater contingent?

What an awful way to die. Lord have mercy.

Free Republic is a PRO-LIFE forum, beyond that it's doubtful that you would understand.

Disgusting. An outrage. I will pray the Divine Mercy chaplet for this woman now in the 3 o’clock hour.

“What is the point of this article exactly?”

I think the main point is that a person is being left to die because no one wants to pay for her care.

The warning signs are up. Georgetown. Jesuit Hospital.

Even before reading the story, we can deduce that this is not a Catholic hospital in any meaningful sense of the word.

... immigrants who fled the violence in Rwanda and earned their way from menial jobs to master’s degrees ...

But this is EXACTLY what ObamaScare inflicts according to the legislation. A panel of government bureaucrats will make these decisions. So what's with the feigned concern? [/sarcasm]

The Jesuits can go burn in hell....they are no longer a Catholic organization.

Is your basic problem illiteracy or do you just not bother to read?

The Times notes that Nyirahabiyambere, the wife of a Baptist minister, came to the United States after surviving the horrors of the Rwandan genocide and violence in refugee camps that divided her family, made her a widow, and forced her to survive in the jungle for a time. Her sons, who became U.S. citizens, brought her to America, where she found work that gave her health care benefits.

Exactly! Obamacare will cut each and everyone of Us off this way unless we are a Party Member in Good Standing!
We are close to becoming Stalin’s USSR, Castro’s Cuba, Gaddafi’s Libya, or even Hitler’s Germany under HUSSEIN’S
Puppet Masters!

How much can it cost to keep her hydrated and feed?
