Temporarily as in the case of Terri Schindler. Ultimately, the spouse will kill him if she can. Remember how Jebbie Bush was first strong in adversity and then caved to allow Terri to be killed.
Bush did everything he could except turn up at the hospital with a gun in his hand. It was the GOP controlled State legislature that voted down the special bill he had had written just to save her, and the state and federal judges who turned down every appeal.
And Lynch, the corrupt, gay, evil bishop of the diocese, who should have been removed immediately, did not support Bush (a Catholic) and in fact forbade the priests in the diocese to visit Terri or bring her Communion. This was because they were afraid that it would be apparent that she could indeed take nourishment. A priest from outside (possibly Fr Pavone?) brought her Communion but I’m not sure he was allowed to give it to her.
Maybe Bush should have just charged in there and dragged her out, but I can tell you one disgraceful fact: there was no public support for saving her. I was there the day before she died, keeping vigil. It was thought that a huge group of people would show up, but sadly, the press outnumbered us. They had tents and cameras set up, and there we were, probably only about 50 people, mostly from out of state Evangelical and Catholic groups, trudging back and forth and praying under the amused eyes of the press.
Did you manage to make it to the vigil?
Regarding Jeb bush...
I was there in person protesting at Terry schuavos nursing home. Jeb bush got dcf involved. They were enroute to physically get Terry when the powers to be were tipped off. It was literally going to be at gun point that they would have to take her. Jeb blinked. Terry died.
Something smelled of good old boy quid pro quo down here. Terry’s husbands attorney is a sick bastard. It was always about the husband getting the life insurance. Thanks to Terry’s parents it all got sucked up by his attorney. He got little if nothing.
