Parents ask judge to let Schiavo divorce husband/Jacksonville
The Florida Times Union ^ | 3/1/05 | PAUL PINKHAM

Posted on 03/01/2005 4:12:35 AM PST by cyn

A Jacksonville victim rights group and a state legislator urged Gov. Jeb Bush on Monday to launch a criminal probe into events that put Terri Schiavo in the hospital with severe brain damage 15 years ago.

Justice Coalition founder Ted Hires also asked the state Department of Children & Families to take Schiavo into protective custody and Florida's attorney general to initiate a civil rights investigation into her treatment and efforts by her husband to have the feeding tube that keeps her alive removed. . . .

Her parents said they filed the divorce proceedings because of Michael Schiavo's "total disregard for Terri as his wife." ....

I'm probably being politically incorrect, but I think her husband probably did know her wishes and her parents should not interfere.

I won't say you're politically incorrect.

I'll say you're uninformed about the facts.

There are quotes from the estranged husband to the effect that he had no idea what her wishes were. Something like, "How the he!! do I know what she wanted. We were only in our 20s."

That quote is around, and can be found.

"I am making a point to not respond to any more posts that are in any way in opposition to supporting Terri.

Terri doesn't have time to waste and neither do I in fighting for her cause. "

I passionately agree with this! We can see the TRUTH and don't need to waste time trying to re-educate those who post only to obfuscate the TRUTH! Nothing I say will change their hideous little hearts. Nothing they say will change my belief in the sanctity of human life.

That is, they mightn't be willing to read her mind, that she'd want to be divorced from a man who committed adultery against her to the extent of fathering two children while still married to her.

She wanted to divorce him, beginning in 1989. That was because he was abusive to her.

Now that he has been living with someone else for 10 years, and has 2 children with that woman, I think we can probably guess what her choice would be at this stage of the situation.

My only problem with this is that someone who doesn't know the facts of the case may read a thread and see the misinformation unanswered. You never know who's reading info.

That is probably the best way to handle this now.

If people want to believe that it's better to kill a disabled, handicapped woman, then I can only pity them.

I'm with you, lady. The newbie is most likely a troll looking to start some infighting. I usually don't respond to them either. This one just pushed my buttons.

They know how. Their posts are designed to do that.

It's a great story, and it proves that Terri is NOT brain dead, nor is she a veggie. The account of Christmas 2004's visit with her is equally important.

Like I said on another thread, I never thought I'd cheer for Social Services.

Well, well, well.

How very DEAR of Ms. Labayak to make herself available to this particular panel. How very INTERESTING that George Felos was then the Chairman of the Board for her Hospice. How CONVENIENT that this particular Hospice is associated with George Soros's Project on Death in America. And how very CURIOUS that all of this happened around the same time Florida was trying to make a martyr out of Terri Schiavo.

Anyone surprised at these bedfellows?

Anyone?

Beuhler?

That is true, and I don't want to offend anyone that might join up to help Terri, but the disrupters follow the same format in posting.

There is a ton of information already available, and easy to find.

What I avoid is responding to posts that state information on a particular point that is easily disputed by simple reading.

For example jbane's posts are argumentative, and that person knows this.

The more time spent on arguing specific points (and that is what is amounts to), the less time one devotes to the actual cause.

This is why I would say that they are people signing up to divert our attentions from taking action to help Terri. 20 mintues tying a response that is ignored is 20 minutes that could have been spent typing a letter/message to help save Terri.
