Terri Shiavo is a woman who a Floriduh judge has ordered, for the second time, her feeding tube to be removed on 1/03/03.Her husband is sick and tired of her handicapped condition (which he maliciously engineered) and against the wishes of her family, has squandered close to $700,000.00 in order to kill her legally through the courts.

His lawyer, and the judge, are proponents of "right to die" (euthanasia) and have decided to make Terri their poster child for ridding the world of inconveniant people.

Look, you had the ba*ls to try to do something for two causes that need all the help they can get. Don't keep turning down help, Thats what good people are all about, and even the Chancellors of the world have some goodness in them.


YOU MAKE SURE YOU KEEP US POSTED ON THIS!!!!


We'll want to help. I'm going to let some other folks I know in on this, they may or maynot be freepers, but they'll want to help. Several are lawyers, others in the pro-life movement and still others looking for a cure for breast cancer. We'll get you some heavy hitters as well.

You will be in my prayers. I prayed extra hard before the election that God would break the Dem Party Vote-Rig machine. I will pray now that God will break Planned Parenthood so thoroughly, that Beast will never rise again!

Prayer Warrior Alert!

WHY????

Sucks to be right, before the rest of the world, doesn't it?

Cheers, you are not alone.

[hinckley buzzard]

hey kid--ever heard of judicial indiscretion?

[Tempest]

Wow. You're really a card-carrying, ankle-biting, spittle-flecked, wild-eyed, lifetime-membership jerk, aren't you?

I agree, I've been reading some of this schmucks past post. He comes off as a real A-hole

[Terridan]

Count me in!!!

[BJungNan]

Ouch! Keep us informed about your appeal.

Yes, please do.

[DaGman]

I don't know if the suit is frivilous or not as I don't know anything about it. I do know that the courts whack you for court cost and attorney fees if a case is thrown out because the court considers it frivilous.

In light of the previous discussions here about lawsuit abuse I couldn't help but notice the irony that one person's cause is another's claim of lawsuit abuse.

Right. At what age are we supposed to learn that the bare fact that we imagine we have something in our mouth doesn't necessarily mean we should say it? Seven? Four??

Maybe it's a moot point because of the appeal.

Unless an appellate bond has been posted, Planned Parenthood can enforce the $77,000 judgment while the case is being appealed. Do you have a checking account or other bank accounts? If so, they can quite easily walk right down to your bank and have the account emptied out. Now may well be the time to stuff your money under the matress.

[ambrose]

You need to give us some more information about this case. This $77,000 thing is somewhat odd since attorneys' fees are generally only recoverable pursuant to contractual terms... and pursuant to statute, under limited circumstances. Obviously there was no contract here, and I don't see what statute could apply.

The only thing left is that you were hit for maintaining a frivolous lawsuit. But even there, the opposing attorneys are required to send you a letter first documenting why your position is frivolous and then give you a 30 day "safe harbor" period in which to drop your case. Did you ever get such a letter? Maybe your lawyer did, but he never bothered to inform you of it. If so, ask him for the name of his malpractice carrier.

[Salvation]

Bumpity bump!

[farmfriend]

Perhaps we can convince a certain lobbying organization I know to get behind you on this. Can I have our Health committee contact you?

[jla]

You just admitted that you believe in giving women a choice to do with their bodies.

You are misconstruing Saundra's remarks as well as the intent of those remarks.
She was merely pointing out the hypocrisy of California's laws.

[wewillnotfail]

Keep it updated. If you loose the appeal, I'm in for 20

I don't know if the suit is frivilous or not as I don't know anything about it. I do know that the courts whack you for court cost and attorney fees if a case is thrown out because the court considers it frivilous.

Here's the difference: Saundra and her partners were trying to make sure that Planned Parenthood told all the facts about abortion in its materials -- including the breast cancer link -- so that the women they counsel are FULLY informed about all the risks involved.

Some Shylock in New York, on the other hand, is blaming McDonald's for his obese teen clients' unhealthy girth when court papers show that it was the fat kids' parents who took them to Mickey D's.

[Catspaw]

Saundra can verify, but I believe the plaintiffs were assessed the fees because the judge ruled it was a frivilous lawsuit. And yes, she should check the attorney's malpractice insurance to see if their insurance will cover this--if they carry malpractice insurance. Not all attorneys do.

From this point, beyond the lien, they can do debtor's examinations, subpoena bank records and exercise a wide variety of creditor's enforcement actions.
