My letter to malone

Those disabled children should get down on their knees and thank God for the Schindlers, whose hard work is hopefully preventing them from being killed as useless eaters in their own adulthood someday.

Yes how sad to be so inconvenienced as to have to tell children the facts of life - in this country we kill if you are not perfect or if you have brain damage. Scarce resources and all. You know, it's just so expensive to maintain Grandma these days...hope you don't miss her too much, honey, and don't watch as we slowly kill her in the most agonizing manner possible, either.

Those children are so fortunate, especially to have representatives in their House who are unafraid and unashamed to stand up and speak about God and miracles.

I hope you managed to catch the latest proposal in Critical Care Journal, by the way. Two pediatric specialists think we should not wait for brain damaged children to die before we harvest their organs.

Have a nice day,

Here is my email to Malone. This is my 5th email to this lady in the last month.

"How ironic it is. In the zeal to save the daughter of Bob and Mary Schindler, the protesters overlook the desires of other parents to love and protect their own children."
~Mrs. Malone

Once again, I find myself replying to one of your stories. I debated whether or not to respond this time, because it seems despite my attempts, my feelings have fallen on deaf ears. But then I realized, my voice is just as powerful, just as loud, and just as passionate as yours.

How Ironic is it that you can take a story, put a twisted slant on it, and side, once again, against the Schindlers. How Ironic is it that, once again, you have blamed a horrid situation on the wrong people, parents trying to provide their child with the protection of life.
How Ironic is it, that once again, Mr. Schiavo is not mentioned in negative light in your article.

How Ironic is it that at this point, I am sickened at the thought that you are using children to further your obvious need to twist and turn this story.

Mrs. Malone, in case you do not remember me. I am the mother a child who is fed by a g`tube 21.5 hours a day. I am the mother of a child who every doctor (and some family members) gave up on before she was born. But most importantly, I AM A MOTHER.

I understand that these parents have the right to protect their childrens innocence, but more importantly Mrs Malone, the Schindlers have a right to protect their daughters right to LIVE...

Given the two situations, I choose the protestors... because at the end of the day, those parents get to take their children home and mold them and guide them. Terri no longer has that right.

In your obvious need to defame the Schindlers, please remember that there are parents of children just like Terri who hold this fight very close to our hearts. Your columns are not only a slap in the Schindlers face, but they are a slap in ours.
