"She's not a vegetable," Ms. Sauer insisted as she rested her tired feet. "She knows voices, she responds. She can follow commands, and she tries to communicate by blinking her eyelids 'yes' and 'no.'" And then there's the most important detail of all: "We used to feed her with a spoon, and she swallowed on her own."

No wonder Judge 'kill'um' Greer shouted, "I don't want anyone feeding that girl," when Terri's sister showed up with a cup of pudding for her visit with Terri recently!

Does the Lord need any more reason to strike us for sitting by and doing nothing. Why aren't the people in Florida organizing a gathering to storm the hospital and peacefully rescue this poor woman? I could NOT just sit back and do nothing if this was happening in my backyard. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night. I wouldn't be able to live with myself. Are the people in Florida that subdued?

"First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out --
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the communists
and I did not speak out --
because I was not a communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out --
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me --
and there was no one left to speak out for me."
~~Pastor Martin Niemoller
(victim of the Nazis)

Is there anything we can learn from this?
When they came for the Catholics?
When they came for the Baptists?
When they came for the fundamentalists?
When they came for the agnostics?
When they came for the physically disabled?
When they came for the mentally disabled?

Just something for all of us to think about -- is this picture larger than we currently see it?

""What's happening here is just a part of a larger effort to class persons with severe cognitive disabilities as non-persons."

This is the single most important statement in this piece and one that all Americans should read and re-read. If you know a disabled person, someday you will look back on this day and remember it.

They have redefined life and now are redefining death.
