RE 923---for the moment, for the moment
I just called Sen Tom Lee's Office - They said Florida state is no longer intervening. The US congress is taking over....
Where is the outrage from women's groups that this man wants to take his wife's life?
Rick Santorum coming up!
Four subpoenas...oh, this is too priceless! Too priceless!
Terri ping to 830 and 854! If anyone would like to be added to or removed from my Terri ping list, please let me know by FReepmail!
Praying for you and all of Terri's people who will be down there today.
I have a five-page research paper due for school today, forty pages of reading...plus I'm at work and am supposed to be doing SOMETHING (er...haven't done much the last few days!!) Now how am I supposed to tear myself away from FR long enough to do that!? AHHHHH, who cares! :-D This is such exciting NEWS!
Wow .... what a treat it would be to see MRS sitting before a Congressional committee .... a girl can dream, can't she?
Lord Jesus, I don't pretend to know what's right or wrong in this case, but I know that You do. My prayer is that Terri will just wake up. I know it would be a miracle, but my Lord, you are a miracle-working God. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
bttt!
I like the way you dream. Oh, yes, let it HAPPEN! Let Congress ask some hardball questions! Little Mikey's gonna be sorry he didn't cut and run when he had the chance!
I can't get through. It's too busy :) That's a great sign!
PHOTOSHOP MOMENT, anyone?
I agree 100% Like I said, the way this is being fought, sets a dangerous precedent for the future, and basically gives the gay lobby an argument to legalize gay marriage. The gay rights lobby has been using the civil rights act, there is no question they'll use this as an example to get what they've been wanting. For the Terri supporters to get what they want, they're engaging in the same sort of behavior the Liberals have been engaged in since George W. Bush won the election in 2000.
AMEN........and AMEN . Praying this prayer as I now leave for a court hearing myself. Bye Freepers!! Seeya later.
The state of California just sent Scott Peterson to death row for the same crime. It is a shame that the Bay Area, the most leftist part of California, provides more justice than a red state like Florida.

President's Statement on Terri Schiavo
The case of Terri Schiavo raises complex issues. Yet in instances like this one, where there are serious questions and substantial doubts, our society, our laws, and our courts should have a presumption in favor of life. Those who live at the mercy of others deserve our special care and concern. It should be our goal as a nation to build a culture of life, where all Americans are valued, welcomed, and protected - and that culture of life must extend to individuals with disabilities.

GW Bush audio clip: Every person know matter how frail, deserves the right to life.
Laura Ingraham: Terri has taught us all a lot. So many have rallied, having conversations about our humanity.
Rick Santorum: We've been working very very hard to allow a federal court to review this. FL court saying she is under death sentence with tube removal.
RS: the convicted have a right to have their cases reviewed.
Terri's only crime was not having a living will.
Her rights have to be protected. We have a judge who is intent on ending her life.
Laura: are you surprised by the amount of outcry? I'm very heartened.
RS: I'm very heartened as well. Harkin and others went to other dems who were holding out. They finally found some way to do this.
Levin and Widen objected to bill, but allowed bill to pass even though they objected.
Some callers say why intervene?
RS: when the govt decides to take someone's life, there should be a check in the system to review it.
Did she have adequate counsel? Were her rights protected?
Frist talked to the doctors, reviewed the tapes, said this is someone who IS NOT BRAIN DEAD.
Santorum off now.
I know and you are right. It's just these people putting the whole thing on President Bush and what he SHOULD do and Jeb Bush and what HE should do and calling them cowards and the like. That is not constructive. I know in my heart and soul if President Bush and Jeb Bush could do something legally they would and no doubt they are. It always comes down to someone blaming the Bush Brothers instead of trying to do something constructive like praying and never giving up.
