At Admin request new thread!
Link to first thread.
It is very nice President Bush said that.
Can someone help me understand this?
If they are calling for Terri to testify, then how can they remove the feeding tube today?
Can they really do that???
Will they???
I just can't believe they are still going to remove the tube!
Thank you. It is my faith that allows me to always look for a positive solution. Without it we have nothing. I think that is obvious with some of the posts we have seen.
Just heard on 970 FLA that a Federal marshall is expected to arrive at Hospice at noon to serve Terri with a subpeona to testify!
lol, maybe phil can dress up greer in an orange jumpsuit instead of the black robe he wears which disrespects all others who wear it.
And don't they have to abide by the law?????????????????????
fv, YOU HAVE TO HAVE A CAMERA TO CAPTURE THAT KODAK MOMENT -- TELL PEOPLE TO GET DISPOSABLE CAMERAS -- RECORD THIS FOR HISTORY
I don't think they can remove the tube.
The subpoenas haven't yet been delivered, but when they are, I think this all has to stop.
Anyone else know differently?

Finally, please PRAY! We need God's intervention. Thank you!
Wow! I wonder if they will let him in? I keep seeing vertical bars for some reason.
Does any know which posts in the old threads had the pictures of the police at the hospice and the orange fence. A freeper suggested letting the media know that they are turning the hospice into a police state area.
I think it is a good idea and plan to send the photos to various media outlets.
Can we get those pics moved to this thread?
Back in the U.S.,
Just read your post, YEAH!!!!!!!!!!
When they server Terri than she is protected. Gives the Senate time to come up with a better bill.
What did Feingold and Kohls ofice say? Are they supporting the bill or not? I called them every day for a week, they even recognized my voice after a while, but they kept telling me that the Senator did not have a position yet. Do you know anything about the Wisconsin Senators position?
How about a big steaming cup of STFU?
I hope so! I don't have cable so I can't watch it on TV
White House sides with Terri
Bush: 'Courts should have a presumption in favor of life'
March 18, 2005
© 2005 WorldNetDaily.com
On the eve of the removal of Terri Schiavo's life-sustaining feeding tube, while Florida legislators and members of the U.S. Congress scrambled to pass measures to intervene, President Bush weighed in on the matter.
In a statement posted to the White House website yesterday Bush sided with the parents of the severely brain-damaged Florida woman who have waged an exhaustive court battle to block the efforts of her husband, Michael Schiavo, who seeks her death.
"The case of Terri Schiavo raises complex issues," Bush stated. "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."
The "serious questions and substantial doubts" Bush refers to are the fact that Terri has no written directive as to whether she would wish to have her feeding tube removed.
Michael Schiavo won a court order in 2000 to have it removed, claiming she was in a "persistent vegetative state" and had declared orally she wouldn't want to live in such a condition.
The Schindlers, however, insist their daughter, while severely handicapped, is responsive and demonstrates a strong will to live. They have affidavits from mroe than a dozen medical experts disputing the three court-appointed physicians' conclusions Terri remains in a "persistent vegetative state."
Terri Schiavo is not hooked up to any machines, but she requires the small feeding tube for nourishment and hydration.
The 42-year-old collapsed under disputed circumstances Feb. 25, 1990, suffering severe brain damage when her heart stopped momentarily. Michael Schiavo attributes the collapse to an eating disorder, but the Schindlers strongly suspect he tried to strangle her.
The Schindlers have pleaded with Michael Schiavo to divorce their daughter, pointing out he has been living with another woman for 10 years, with whom he has two children.
The elder Bush's statement echoed comments made by his brother, Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.
"It breaks my heart we're in a situation where it's possible this woman could starve to death," the governor said yesterday.
In 2003, "Terri's Law" enabled Gov. Bush to intervene the second time Terri Schiavo's feeding tube was removed. The law later was ruled unconstitutional, however, by the Florida Supreme Court, which said it violated the legal separation between the three branches of government.
