Terri Schiavo - Won't Someone Help?
The National Ledger ^ | Feb 22, 2005 | L.A. Morris

Posted on 02/22/2005 9:41:17 AM PST by AliVeritas

Sixth Circuit Court Judge George Greer ruled late Monday afternoon that George Felos and Michael Schiavo cannot implement their stated plan to withdraw the gastric feeding tube of Terri Schindler-Schiavo until a hearing is held on Weds, Feb 23 to determine if the stay in effect from Greer's 2000 death order should remain in place while her parents, Mary and Robert Schindler Sr., continue with their legal options in trying to keep her alive.

The Schindlers had hoped to convince the court that starving Terri to death would violate her religious liberties. As a Catholic, the Schindlers contend Terri would not want to have her life ended.

If anyone ever deserved a second chance, it's Terri Schiavo, the central figure in a battle for the rights of the handicapped. She has no idea of the controversy swirling about her, and has been unaware of the fight for her life since she collapsed of a potassium deficiency in 1990. But regardless of the why and how, Terri's collapse starved her brain of oxygen, and she has never been mentally or physically revived past a semi-vegetative state.

Pegita, I have such a difficult time dealing with people who say Terri has no brain. Please pray for me. I am losing patience with them. I think they come here just to aggravate us.

"You do know that a brain dead patient can not live without life support, right?
You do know that Terri Schiavo is not on life support, right?"

Why do you have to "kill off" this newbie and his "logic" so soon with your facts? Can we like, toy with him/her/it for a little while? You know, Terri has no brain and her soul left her long ago.......???

If the cerebral cortex is destroyed, there is no one there to destroy

"If" is the leading word. Listen, these death-culture enthusiasts lie like dogs, number one.

Take the time to read these links about past euthanasia victims, and hopefully you can believe the people who wrote them.

Hugh Finn

Hugh Finn's wife made herself into a cause because she supposedly did what was good for Hugh, by having him deydrated to death. Funny thing was, two years prior to that she had refused to allow a doctor to repair his shunt, and this representative has made ample points about her changing story. Before Hugh's shunt failed, and she refused to allow it to be repaired, he was speaking.

link for more stories here

here is another story with a spouse that lied and changed her story when she decided to kill her husband by dehydration I mean really, the guy is painting pictures and she's in court to have him dehydrated. Meantime, Good Morning America is letting her tell a pack of lies implying he is in a coma.

Michael Martin's lovely, lovely wife

I could go on and on with these things. Even people who are in a coma are not necessarily candidates for euthanasia, but the death-worshippers are anxious to get this stuff past us and accepted so they can get on with the organ harvesting.

this is from FR but the link I posted it from still works and goes back to the medical journal

The bottom lines are, it doesn't matter much about this husband, imo. We should really be going after George Soros, the Godfather of death. And, we need to stop this stuff asap, or soon we will all be allowed to live only by the "virtue" of the courts. We have an out-of-control judiciary which has invented a mythical right to die in our constitution and taken it as far as they possibly can. There is no doubt in my mind they intend to continue.

I work in the medical field and the state already controls far too much of it. Just wait till Hillary gets the next seat in the White House and we'll all be wishing we had been dehydrated to death, in order to miss the onslaught that is coming from her plans for medical care. Socialized medicine is already here, for the most part. She's just going to put the final nails in the coffin.

I already posted it. Try reading the June 2003 2nd DCA Opinion.

Where did you post it? I read there opinion before. They wanted a guarantee. Stupid of our side not to lie, I admit.

OH dear Lord, I hadn't read the details of Hugh Finn's story before...I'm so horrified! There is definitely a very evil spirit behind this kind of thing!

It is starkly apparent that Terry is NEVER COMING BACK! It is JUST A SHELL lying there.......>p>
And just what evidence do you put forth to support your strong belief? Is it the videos of her smiling with obvious love at her mother? Or maybe the video of her following balloons moving across the air with her eyes or is it the fact that she laughs at the right spot at her dad's joke? Or maybe your evidence is based on other videos of Terri reacting to the stimulus around her.Or could it be that you are just taking the word of her husband who evidence says may have caused her condition to begin with and who has children with another woman he wants to marry and who stands to gain financially from her death. Terri was awarded money to rehabilitate her but this man who you believe refuses to allow for her to be rehabilitated or even be allowed to see if she take sips water on her own. The man obviously prefers her dead. Or maybe you are prone to believe the lawyer who loves death and has dedicated himself to helping people be able to kill others who are in vulnerable states and claims to be able to psychically communicate with those he wants to die.

Hang in there, Lovergirl ... these people who assert that Terri is nothing other than what you find in the produce department are really doing us a favor ... they only solidify our activism; they hone our debating skills; they're our admonition to pray for those who despitefully use us; they're precious to the Lord, irritant though they may be. And they just might learn that God is very serious when He says that in HIShand is the life of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind. Job 12:10.

Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your Word that encourages us to draw apart when we are weary, that we might be refreshed to minister anew in the tasks put before us. Bless the work of our hearts and our hands as we seek to save the life of this wounded woman, for You teach that as we do it unto the least of these, our brethren, we do it unto You. Encourage our hearts with Terri's words ... "where there's life, there's hope." In the Name of Jesus, we pray, Amen ...

Maybe we should starve the judge. eh?
Maybe. But, barring that, maybe we should pray the poor guy sees the error of his ways. ("Sees", uh, figuratively speaking, I guess.)

I am a Floridian in Washington.
I have done the following to help:
Have contacted every United States Senator.
Have contacted almost all of the Florida legislators.
I have contacted the chambers of commerce in Pinellas, Clearwater, Sarasota and State of Florida letting them know why I will not be coming to Florida it being such a barbaric place I would not like to expose my children to people like that (apologize, I know I'm insulting some of you).
I have contacted all the major theme parks and told them why I would not be bringing my people to Disney, Sea World, Busch Gardens, etc. etc.
I have contacted the resort association for Orlando and told them why we would not be coming.
I gave humbly to Terri's defense fund,
and, I am continuing to pray. If you can think of anything else I can do, please post it shortly.

We've claimed the story in Luke about the woman continually appearing before the Judge, but he kept sending her away without relief. She wouldn't quit ... she demanded justice until he finally relented, not because he thought it the righteous thing to do, but because she was becoming wearisom. That's our prayer for Judge Greer, or any other Judge the Lord would put before us ... one who will vindicate the continual appearing of Terri's mother and father ... they demand justice. And may it be so, Merciful Father, may it be so ... Amen .

Amen! If nothing else, let him just get sick of dealing with this. He knows (or should) that if he goes forward with it, it will only get worse.

Sorry, but I don't get this. It may be true that that what is going on with Terry does not meet the Catholic Church's definition of suicide. How does that make state sanctioned murder OK?
