A spokesperson for Michael Schiavo says Terri Schiavo's feeding tube was removed Friday with Michael in attendance.
He says a prayer service was held first, and that Michael was emotional and crying, saying he wanted to put the situation behind him.
Terri Schiavo's parents, the Schindlers, visited with Terri Friday morning, prior to the tube's removal.
Pinellas-Pasco Circuit Court Judge George Greer denied two U.S. House of Representative emergency motions Friday, which allowed the tube's removal.
The first motion was to intervene in the case for the House Committee on Government Reform and the second motion was to push the date back nine days so it could conduct what it calls a field investigation concerning the healthcare of Schiavo.
A neurologist appeared at Terri Schiavo's Pinellas Park hospice center Friday with a TV screen to show video of patients he treated that were in worse condition than Schiavo and got better.
Sometimes? Any names and/or references I can read about?
"So far, everyone has been looking/demanding to/of 'man' to help/solve her 'problems'. Maybe, we should be looking/demanding (righteously) God and Jesus to step in and just SKIP the 'man' middleman."
I agree 100%....our faith here alone can move mountains, we are all believers in the Lord Jesus and we are gathered together here praying for the same thing...wouldn't it be wonderful if we could witness such a miracle as Terri surviving without a feeding tube and getting stronger each day....because of Jesus making her stronger...the Lord stepped in with the Atlanta courthouse shootings...it is like He is letting people know HE IS IN CHARGE...it is time for some miracles and I hope this one can end that way as well....keep praying guys...we are stronger than the evil around us through the power and blood of Jesus Christ! Strength in numbers!
I agree. He has no sensativity for the parents. Let her die is his messege. He is a liberal political hack nutjob. We will write our senators against this guy!
That's what Christopher Reeve thought in the days immediately following his accident; he was depressed to the point of dispair and openly stated that he did not want to live. But, we need go no further than the title of his book to find the seminal Truth of this whole issue. In a moment of profound clarity, the former Superman wrote "Still Me"; thus summarizing in two words the totality of evidence required to decide the issue in favor of LIFE. He remaind himself despite the drastically altered condition of his physical body. He retained all of the inherent value of a human life that he had always had. In this most important regard, nothing had changed. No impairment reduces the intrinsic value of a human life, nor is any human life of greater value any other.
This value is inherent in our human lives and it transcends our control; we cannot add to it, nor can we subtract from it. How, then, can we propose that we are in a position to determine when our lives ought to end? That's preposterous! It's morally absurd!
I posess value over which I can exercise no control, yet I presume to dictate when I will cease to have value?
"I shall scale the summit and ascend to the pinnacle of power over my own being! I shall be called God of Myself and My dictae none shall gainsay!"
Sorry. Someone else is already in that position, and He isn't sharing it with you.

PRESS RELEASE:
MARCH 18. 2005
2:00 PM EASTERN TIME
ATTORNEY BARBARA WELLER TOLD TERRI THAT THEY WERE GOING TO REMOVE HER FEEDING TUBE , TERRI BEGAN TO CRY AND TRIED TO SAY "I WANT TO LIVE" ATTORNEY WELLER SAID SHE HAD A DIFFICULT TIME CALMING TERRI DOWN.
WE NEED PEOPLE TO SURROUND HOSPICE IN PROTEST TO JUDGE GREER'S RULING STATING HE WILL OVER RIDE FEDERAL SUBPOENA AND WILL REMOVE TERRI'S FEEDING TUBE IMMEDIATELY.
FOR THOSE WHO CANNOT COME TO FLORIDA...PLEASE CALL YOUR SENATORS. PLEASE DO NOT STOP YOUR CALLS.
ACTION BY THE PEOPLE MUST TAKE PLACE TO SAVE TERRI FROM JUDICIAL HOMICIDE.
JUDGE GREER IS WRONG AND IS NOT LISTENING TO CONGRESS
She won't go quickly, unless 10 days is what you consider quick, and if she is so "poor," why does it matter to you? She's nothing but a drooling vegetable with no cerebral function, so how can she be a "poor woman?"
Someone should put him in a persistent vegetative state and do the whole world a favor.
I hate all of them that had a hand in removing her feeding tube...that includes Waxman and that lousey senator wyden from Oregon.
Are Florida voters too DUHHHHHHHHM or senescent to impeach and remove judge Greer?
May God forgive them.
"If you repeat a life often enough, people will believe it..." - Joseph Göbles.
Felos is a good protogé.
Am I wrong, but I thought I read/heard that those courts would not review it? That it just stood as Greer said.
With straight talk, Sensenbrenner is making Santorum look like a hemming, hawing, el slicko and an ass. Jim is laying it out that the senate legislation passed on Terri's behalf is toothless.
Things don't look good at all. Santorum will not recover from this. Casey will knock his socks off, because the name Casey is associated with the right to life.

Dying with Dignity is one of Soro's euthanasia programs... he has poured many millions of dollars into these programs so that euthanasia will be acceptable in the U.S. His euthanasia programs have been going strong since 1994 and it looks like he is making progress. BTW, Soros is against the death penalty....isn't that ironic?
His whole spiel is based on "all these procedures".....but when they are depending upon and based on the faulty premise of Michael's statement, it means that "all these procedures" and their decrees that she die by starvation and dehydration are invalid.
I agree.
