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

I was just reading your profile page and you state; "I am the 23rd Cousin of our President George W. Bush,..." That said according to a thread I read some time back if you are related to George W. Bush, way back in your ancestory you are also related to John F. Kerry unless you come down on a different side of the family then that connection was.
I can't imagine how they keep going.
This case is a Domestic Violence Case still in progress, take a few moments and read and STUDY the evidence's and Facts, and numberous Prejury committed in regards to this case.
For starters study this:

There are many threads that break-down this case from DAY#1..This is a MURDER still in Progress
Her name is Wasserman-Schultz (Shultz?) and was trying to use the word "God" as she could manage in one sound bite. God forbid. God forbid. God forbid Terri should live? Whatta Pal Sunday. Gotta find out more about this babe...
Different family line. I am a huge family genealogist it is a lot of fun but a lot of work. MY father and brother were horrified to know that we are distant cousins. I loved it.
If the courts allow a person to be put to death by starvation at the request, and the convenience of a spouse or next-of-kin simply on hearsay evidence from a person who might stand to gain from that person's death, that's the really,really ,really bad precedent that's being set here.
If Terry had not wanted this kind of care she should have [ as we all should] put it in writng with your doctor or lawyer.
No one should be allowed to take the life of an innocent person without that person's consent.
If Terry is put to death simply because her husband says that's what she wanted, without any tangible proof from Terry, it will set us on another road of death[like Roe vs Wade] that will effect everyone who's looking at their screen right now.
Most all get old and most all have next-of-kin.
We already allow mothers to kill their innocent babies by the thousands each year simply by request, now we want to allow the spouse and siblings to kill those they no longer want by simply saying so.
What is the real reasons these innocents die painful deaths each day ?
It's not for the sake of those that are having their lives taken without their consent.
It's for the sake of convenience and for money.
Lord help this country.
I believe it's mentioned briefly in the timeline at Terrisfight.org; it's was a regular subject in the 2003 threads and occasionally this time, but I forget the details beyond that.
Joanie, I'll repeat what I've said before- You should be Chief Justice or Attorney General. And I'm serious.
The Rodell quote is amazing, especially since it was written more than 60 years ago.
Check your mail.
She said that Terry cannot breathe on her own
That is an out right lie!
I'm so sick of these LIARS telling people things that aren't true!
YES, I did!
I'm so angry I could scream!
I guess that means that when Terri smiles at her parents, beams and follows them with her eyes when they enter her room, weeps together with them and communicates through the non-cerebral means of love, (THE HEART), that this is all nullified because she can't make a pot of coffee.
Is your head connected to your a$$ or your heart?
What a stupid response to an intelligent post. How can you say that action on this case "would set no precedent"? Not that that was the point of the original post- anything but. I don't even think you read all of the post you were responding to.
I heard the WITCH. I was SCREAMING at my tv. I HATE the democrats and I can not pray for them. THEY ARE EVIL.
Debbie Wasserman Schultz is a way-out leftie from FLORIDA. And, it looks like she's been bleaching her hair and is a planned parenthood afficionado. Just saw her on Fox with all her "God forbids..."
MICHAEL: We didn't know what Terri wanted, but this is what we want...
Any questions, you ghouls?
I did scream at the TV
That was an out right lie!
Somebody on that panel should have been smart enought NOT to let that go unchallenged.
The only thing I am asking is that I would like to make my OWN judgment. Where is the other side of the story. All I have heard is your side. I am not going to be bullied regarding this issue.
I just heard a radio caller (Teri O'Brien Show, WLS-890AM) say that if Terri's concious, all that will happen is that she'll "go to a better place", but if she's not we'd be keeping her in an earthly prison against the will of God, so therefore we should err on the side of "letting her go".
Wuzzah!?
BTW, Teri is pro-Terri, but Deborah Rowe (weeknights 9-midnight) is pro-death even though she tends conservative on almost other issues. I don't get it. She thinks the husband-wife relationship is so absolutely sacred that it cannot be dissolved without the consent of the people involved, adultery notwithstanding. Huh!?
