"Now they did.
NO SOUP FOR YOU!!!"

Maybe I'm dense but HUH? Here's a link to a well balanced commentary on the whole issue, where the writer doesn't come down on one side or the other.

Actually, ma'am, had you read my replies in their entirety with an open mind, you would see my only concern is for Terri Schiavo and the rest of the lot be damned.

Your view can be called "I am not my brothers keeper"

Your only concern is that you seem to want her to be dead. If I may ask, why don't you mind your own business if you are opened minded?

[Red Sea Swimmer]

Prayers and Blessings for Terri !

Life must be defended at all costs !

My concern:
Terri Schiavo be seen as a human being and not a prop

[Wallace T.]

Michael Schiavo's actions may be motivated by fear of exposure of his own responsibility for Terri's current condition. However, it is also possible that he may be rewarded financially for staying the course. Do not doubt that there are wealthy men in this country who want to see her die in order to promote their euthanasia agenda. They are aware that pro-life forces have rallied around her. They are betting that Governor Bush, the Florida Legislature, and the Catholic bishops will stand down in the end when and if Terri's parents run out of judicial appeals.

I agree that Michael Schiavo is a willing participant, but he is still a mere foot soldier in the army of death, hardly its kingpin.

[Ohioan from Florida]

Your insinuation that Terri is being used as a prop by those who of us who are rooting for her life is unfounded. You may choose to believe as you wish, but I see Terri as a disabled sister, a child of God, and worthy of our collective efforts to help save her life. She may be disabled, as I understand you are, but she is NOT a prop. She is being used as a prop by the euthanasiasts who seek to expand their territory.

It is ludicrous to suggest that we who support Terri's life as meaningful are using her as a prop, when what we are trying to do is see to it that neither she nor any other human being are used as props. You seem to be suggesting that we are the ones who are exploiting Terri for our gain, when the only thing to gain is that another innocent life is not snuffed out before her time has expired.

Do you know much about this case?

[TheBrotherhood]

Here is what one of the few people able to visit Terri observed:
... I told you that I SAW Terri. I was in to see her twice. I saw her once in September and I saw her once just a couple weeks ago.
And she communicated. She's alert. We prayed. She follows everything thats happening in the room with her eyes, turning her head, smiling. When I was in there with her parents, her dad leaned over to kiss her, and she made the motion to kiss him back...
She's not able as I said, to articulate her words, but she attempts to speak. And if she HAD the benefit of some physical therapy and some speech therapy, she would be in a lot BETTER condition, but guess what? She has been DENIED that treatment, she has been denied that simple physical and speech therapy, by the same person who wants her to be starved."

[FranklySpeaking]

I've compiled a list of items that you can utilize to help Terri and her Family.
These are from various sites I've visited, and thought it would be helpful to have all references in one place.

As we all know by now..........the public outpouring WORKS.
IT IS DEFINITELY WORKING.

Hypothetical: Terri is now PREGNANT! OK?

[olde north church]

Go ahead. Tell me that everybody on who claims to be on Terri Schiavo's side is of pure intentions. Just because I'm not towing the company line 100% here, I'm being mischaracterized as a euthanasiast. I don't have to produce my pedigree for the support of life to ANYBODY.
Regardless of the misrepresentation of my points of view, piss poor ones at that, I have maintained the following 3 points, staunchly:
1. There are more important things than life and would honorably be spent in protecting, freedom, human dignity, religious belief.
2. People see what they want to see. My remarks are based upon my multiple viewing of file footage of Terri Schiavo. There have been 650+ posts on this thread and it wasn't until now that someone made a comment that actually commented on her appearance. Her eyes following objects in the room.
Anyone who watched those file videos would see a sparkle in her eyes. The sparkle of life. The sparkle of awareness. No one has mentioned that? Am I to believe it has been noticed and noted on an earlier thread, all have accepted it as fact and I'm just late to the game? I don't think so.
3. The "professionals" involved in the case:
Doctors perform abortions, they don't care about human life except as a paycheck, their opinions are invalid.
Judges and attorneys, uh, 'nuf said.
Clergy? Yeah, a Catholic priest is going to say anything except her life should be kept, yada, yada, yada.
There are no honest brokers in the game. Why haven't any of her "supporters" kicked in $1.7 million in the past 15 years for this woman's rehab? I won't hold my breath waiting for one. Oh yeah, I did get one before, the non-answer of equating me with the people who stand in front of abortion clinics questioning how many people I adopted today. It's unfortunate she didn't know me. She would have smacked herself on her smart little mouth.

BREAKING FRIDAY 2-25-05 at 9:30 am est!!! Can I get confirmation? I called Senate Orrin Hatch's aide this morning in DC and he told me that this morning, Terri was given an additional one week's STAY. (why does Orrin Hatch's office know something that nobody else knows?) My www.sptimes.com had a headline that read "Humbled lawmakers say court is final Judge" Metro & State Section.

It would be nice if someone would tell Floridians what was going on. THE QUOTE BY DANIEL WEBSTER made me sick. "The Court has come up with much better solutions than we have so far." Daniel Webster who we thought was for justice. By the way DANIEL WEBSTER'S PHONE LINE IS SWAMPED. I called to complain about his HORRID QUOTE. Did the death lobby wear him down???

[Annie03]

I do not see Terri as a prop. I see her as my 12 yo nephew, who has cerebral palsy (a diagnosis Terri has recieved from at least one doctor). He can't speak, can't walk, and has a feeding tube to make sure he gets all the calories and nutrients on days he doesn't eat well. I see her as a victim of a "health care" system that increasingly wants to play God, and choose who is worthy of life. As for the 1.7 million for her care, why don't you ask Michael about that? He gets all that money, spends it on lawyers, and gets Terri put on Medicaid. I am sure I am not the only person here who has opened my pocketbook to help - your broad brush labelling of Terri's supporters is stunning.

Medicine is not considered artificial. My mother is diabetic also. Secondly, you breath, not with the use of machines alone forcing air into your lungs "permanant CPR" but because your brain sends signals and your lungs expand on their own and take in oxygen. That poor little boy is on permanat CPR and will probably die, sadly, a slow painful death. I do not qustion the schindler's motives, I do questions Sun's mothers motive. Both love their children, only one thinks her child is a savior figure(The 'sun' come to earth).

Mrs don-o said the readings today all had to do with water.

O.T. was Moses getting water from the rock and Gospel was Jesus at the well with the Samaritan woman.

Wow!
