Jeb better put a stop to this. This is murder. plain and simple

[ctlpdad]

PING!

[Zavien Doombringer]

She is definitely responsive! After viewing the videos, you couldn't convince me otherwise! I hope the jury will be allowed to view them.

Her condition doesn't look any different from those suffering from spinal bifida or any other mental condition.

If the courts allow the hydration and feeding tube to be removed, this would be an excruciating death for her. It would also be a murder.

[Xenalyte]

After some struggle, prayer and thought, I've decided what the hell - I'll go ahead and say it. If I get banned, so be it.

I will volunteer my services to the Schindler family to help raid the facility Terri is in and sneak her away to whatever location they deem fit and safe. I'll pay my own way to Florida and all my expenses.

I've signed every petition and written letters to Jeb . . . and as a Texas resident, I have zero influence with him. Therefore, the only way I can help is to take physical action directed by the family.

I mourn for a nation in which the decision of whether or not to starve a disabled woman to death is seen as "difficult."

[Dave S]

The courts have agreed that she is in a persistent vegetative state. All her family members except her parents agree that she did not want to be kept alive artificially if she couldnt take care of her self. Let her go. She's never go to recover. Her parents are just making it more difficult for everyone involved.

Terri Schindler Schiavo is scheduled to begin dying Monday, August 25.

I hate to inject a bit of rationality into this, but all of us were scheduled to "begin dying" the day we came out of our mother's womb.

"This case really is about ideology. It's about the ideology of the parents and their attempts to impose their will on Terri," he charged. "The Schindlers are being supported financially, their lawyers are being paid by the fanatic anti-choice, right-to-life proponents in this country."

It is interesting that the husband's lawyer should use these terms. I wonder what his ultimate goal with this case might be. Does he want to establish legal precendent for others in the country to be able to use?

I can't argue either way since I don't know the facts, but my gut tells me that if this woman is responding in any way, and that should be determined by some independent medical personnel, then she should be given the opportunity to live.

I think it is suspicious, to say the least, that the only ones arguing for her food and water to be cut off are her husband's relatives. Is there some financial advantage for him if she dies? If it turns out that the judge does allow this to happen, he should also make the husband sit by his wife's bedside so he can see the results of his decision as she lays dying a very uncomfortable death.

[Soaring Feather]

I am a mother of four daughters, this dear one should not have life support removed. She is 39 years young.

May common sense prevail under Gods hand.

I signed the petiton to Governor Bush.

Thanks Johnny for the ping.

"People keep referring to her as 'being in a coma,'" he said. "She's not in any way comatose. She's responsive, she's trying to talk." Doctors for the parents and siblings have argued that, with appropriate therapy, Terri's condition could improve.

Well, if we are to believe as her family believes as indicated above, then unhooking her from life support will not kill her.

Here is another example of why it is necessary for people to fill out a living will and explain your wishes in such a case as this. Be sure to leave it with your lawyer.

[MEGoody]

"There is more evidence in court from physicians stating that Terri is not in a 'Persistent Vegetative State' than her husband has doctors stating that she is."

If this is true (and everything I've heard indicates that it is, the judge should stop this man from killing his wife. In fact, I think he should be tried for attempted murder (but of course, I know he won't be).

[HurkinMcGurkin]

A couple questions, if anyone knows:

1) Why do her parents think her husband may have tried to kill her back in 1990? I don't mean the opinion of the doctor who said he believes she suffered an assault. If its a legitimate thought, then her partents must have some reason to believe he would have tried to kill her.

2) She has been in this condition for 13 years. If this was some devious plot by her husband, why has he waited this long?

3) I don't see Jeb's place in this fight. If the Florida Supreme Court refuses to hear the case, then it should be over. Governor Bush has no legitimate power to interfere.

CALL TO ACTION
REGARDING: Terri Schiavo
Please read and forward.

 

Friends,

 

You may already know Terri Schiavo's situation. Many of you have personally expressed your concern about this tragedy that is currently unfolding in the Florida Courts.

 

Matters got worse on Friday, July 10th, when Terri's family was informed that the appellate court would provide no relief. In two weeks, Terri's case will head back to Judge George Greer's court where he will order Terri's starvation death to commence.

 

Terri's family intends to do everything possible to stop this action, but time is running out FAST. One hope - perhaps the only hope - is Florida's Governor, Jeb Bush. He has the authority to grant a 'stay' while he conducts an investigation to determine the actual cause of Terri's mysterious collapse. Here's why he should intercede:

 

For over 10 years, Terri's husband, Michael Schiavo, sealed Terri's medical records from inspection. Only recently, doctors other than those selected by Michael Schiavo, reviewed these medical records. It was found that a heart attack did not cause Terri's collapse as everyone was led to believe. Rather, according to one physician, Terri may have been a strangulation victim. In addition, a radiologist concluded that Terri was "worked over pretty good".

 

After reviewing the newly found evidence and professional opinions, the consensus strongly suggests that Terri may have been physically battered by her husband Michael Schiavo, thus causing Terri's asphyxiation and ensuing heart failure. This new information is too incriminating to be ignored, it must be investigated.

 

The following link is a petition to Governor Bush regarding Terri's case that asks him to "stay" any further legal proceedings until an investigation can be made. You too can help Terri, but she needs you to act immediately. In 14 days, her fight could be over.

 

Please go to http://petitionjeb.netfirms.com/. If you have difficulty or the site becomes busy, you can try www.geocities.com/phenn.

 

If you could sign your name & your city at the bottom and click the submit button. It will only take a moment of your time and your information is confidential.

 

If you would also like to personally write the Governor, his email is jeb@jeb.org. You can also fax Governor Bush @ 850-922-4292, or you can call his office @ 850-488-4441.

 

If you are not familiar with all the aspects of this case, you visit the family's web site on www.terrisfight.org to learn more about the legal battle.

 

You are welcome to telephone me personally if I may answer any questions or provide any additional information.

 

Finally, if you could, please forward this email along to every person you know and ask that they do the same. With everything I have in me, I beg you to act as quickly as possible. Please do not turn your back on this innocent woman.

 

Thank you on Terri's behalf and on behalf of the family and friends who love her.

TERRI SCHIAVO, SCHINDLER FAMILY - URGENT!!! Call to Action

I fervently hope that Governor Bush intervenes. This man is trying to cover up a crime, and killing a person to do it.

[WhiteGuy]

Time for Jeb Bush to step up to the plate.

Here is a fine example of a slippery slope!! This is not removing life support but is starving someone. This poor woman responds to pain and discomfort and is being sentenced to a slow and painful death.

[breakem]

I don't understand your headline. Isn't the husband in "her family?"
