Mother pleads for Terri Schiavo's life

PINELLAS PARK, Fla. - Hanging their hopes on a last-minute compromise in Congress, Terri Schiavo's parents notified her hospice to prepare to have her feeding tube reinserted on Sunday, her third day without food or water.
Congressional leaders from both parties hoped an agreement reached on a bill would allow the tube to be restored while federal courts review her case. The House and Senate were expected to take up the legislation by Sunday or early Monday. If passed, President Bush planned to sign it.

But Mary Schindler pleaded for parents nationwide to call their congressional representatives and pressure them to vote for a bill to prolong her daughter's life.
"There are some congressmen that are trying to stop this bill," she said outside her daughter's hospice. "Please don't use my daughter's suffering for your own personal agenda."

Rep. Robert Wexler, D-Fla., issued a statement late Saturday saying he will make an objection that would stop the vote Sunday. Any member can demand that a majority of members be present to do business. Rep. Earl Blumenauer, D-Ore., said he was trying to gather enough votes to defeat the bill Monday

There way out is to look at it as a "Domestic Violence Case"
, and check records of events....
They need the FBI to look at case, and for the sake of this nation do it ASAP ! After FBI/IRS finish investigation(s)
, then decide ! But what do I know, this case is easy to figure out once you LOOK at the details ! Lazy people don't look at the evidence's....This case belongs in Criminal Courts systems not Civil Court. That's the real problem with these NUT cases , but maybe this was God plan all along. So, we all can SEE the REAL EVIL FACES of those that are for murder of the poor,weak,and DISABLED.....
Never, never forget them, I won't if there is a 2006 election...If
Can you tell how these two cases are the same? I have heard this comparison before and it is not the same.
It is sickening!
They keep saying these were Terry's wishes
That was here say from Michael and his brother
Which in a normal court would not be allowed
My husband and I turned the channel as soon as the first idiot up to the podium opened his mouth and started to say what a sad day it was - I only hope that on election day everyone remembers their names and on judgement day God remembers!
Maybe they are and I just don't know about it. Or maybe they would like to but are blocked by the Democratic-controlled mass media. The latter situation would not surprise me at all.
You might want to read this which I posted on another thread:

See the following, a sworn statement from a girlfriend of the estranged husband:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Regarding that alleged conversation [that Terri supposedly said she would want to die in such a situation] -- Cindy Shook said that Michael Schiavo said:
"How the hell should I know, we never spoke about this, we were young."

That is your right. I would not want to live like a vegetable myself. But, I would make dang sure to have it in writing.
All we have are the husband's claims along with his brother and brother's wife.
I'm capable of believing both that Michael Schiavo is a jerk who think the world owes him something and that Terry would likely have chosen not to be sustained in her current condition.
1:45 p.m. Sunday.... 48 hours without food and water. Prayers for Terri.
Frank: Isn't murder intensely personal as well?
They got the hillary fax, when in trouble start channeling(i.e hillary channeling Elenor Roosevelt)
Even if Terri did say she wouldn't want to live like this (which I don't believe she did in her early twenties) people do change their minds once something like this happens to them. There is usually a strong will to live no matter their condition.
apparently, great minds think alike.
Senator Frist actually said on the Senate floor on Thursday, that an accurate diagnosis could not be made without multiple PET scans and observation for an extended period of time---
I agree with you on that. They should stop right there.
ok. question for you:
aside from the constitutional/legal issues, even aside from should she live or should she die, is it ok (in this country) to let her die in the way she is currently dying?
