Thanks for the ping.
No, I think the problem is that some of "us" are intent on killing a woman just because she can't speak for herself. Terri breathes on her own, she responds to her mother's voice, and she can laugh and cry. That doesn't sound like PVS to me.
In all probability Schiavo is an old fashioned self centered SOB, but this case has become a cause celebre for the Pro death forces as represented by Felos and the slick evil pro death cult movement he is a a part of. Schiavo may have become a victim himself, certainly in his own mind.
She is not in PVS. Why don't you look at what the REAL doctors had to say instead of the ones who were paid off by her "husband"?
"...starving pets to death is INHUMANE."
Especially if it's Garfield. Sorry, just feeling good right now. FReegards....
"Can a tomato smile at her mother?"
I've seen pancakes with the picture of the Virgin Mary, a video of an alien autopsy, and a President say he did not have sex with that woman also ... your point ?
I am confused. Having read your prior posts, I thought you were opposed to abortion and vehemently pro-life.
Are you in favor of passing laws in the legislature by the peoples' elected representatives or in favor of judges legislating from the bench?
As for the sanctity of marriage - when there is no marriage - the sanctity of life is extant.
Praise the Lord. And God have mercy on Michael Schiavo. He's going to have to pay for what he has done, in this life, or the next.
Yes, that is correct, and it *looks* bad, no argument there.
LOL....that's what I was thinking too !
I'm not playing peace maker here. I am firmly on one side of this issue. However, I saw the caution a couple of threads back too, about being wary of disagreeing with Hildy. I thought it was ridiculous. If you can't stand up to the responses concerning posting you've made, get off the thread. There are legitimate reasons for hitting abuse. I haven't read one yet, because pretty much everyone is giving tit for tat. I've learned alot on this thread, made posts others may disagree with, if I can't take it, I'll go read the cartoons.
Both of you have been holding your own. No reasons to believe that anyone is going to try get someone kicked out of the sandbox because they don't like what you are saying.
Now, I’ll put the soapbox back where it belongs.
"Michael Schiavo could have taken the honorable path - "
Amazing what is now called "the honorable path"
... abandon your wife and do not follow her wishes - wash your hands and walk away
What has confused you?
Are you in favor of passing laws in the legislature by the peoples' elected representatives or in favor of judges legislating from the bench?
Aren't you all in favor of judges now legislating from the bench? Isn't that this is all about, disagreeing with court rulings and trying to find somebody who agrees with you?
As for the sanctity of marriage - when there is no marriage - the sanctity of life is extant.
Well, you must not be talking about this case, because there is a marriage here. Legal and all.
I saw the tapes, where they were "testing" Terri.
A DOCUMENTARY. FULL BACKGROUND. No actors but everyone involved, including Michael Schivao, the Schindlers.
This DOCUMENTARY was 2 hours long. Doctors giving their diagnosis/results, etc.
But MS didn't do the honorable thing because one time when they were watching tv she mentioned she wouldn't want to live...or did she say she didn't want to watch the show....one or the other...probably that she would want to die. (Sarcasm)
BREAKING! Fox News is stating the judge in Florida has re-instated the order to remove the feeding tube. No word on which judge.
Yes, Felos is a human parasite.
Ticks were created with the need to suck blood.
Some humans, like Felos just devolved.
Notice it's only HIM and HIS family that seem to know Terri's wishes. Funny, I would've told my parents and my friends whether or not I wanted to die in that situation, not my brother-in-law. (As a matter of fact, I have told my friends.) And it's only after he got his money that he wanted to act on "her wishes."
