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

Not me !
Q.--Have you read the evidences?
Thank you I did not know that.
You just explained to tuffydoodle what I was asking before, about why you would come back under a different name, after being kicked off with one name---
I guess I didn't ask the question as well as tuffydoodle, but I read what you posed to tuffydoodle and got my answer, ---
I have nothing against you personally at all---I guess I still have a lot to learn about the ruled on FR, thats all.
No offense intended, okay? Freeper friends?
All right then. I'll see that wasps nesting in his body hair and raise you "may he forever be known as the only man who makes Satan fear for his own job security."
(So there! :) )
No problem. I understand. There are several Trolls that pull that stunt all of the time. I guess I should have explained it before.
Some, but apparently according to you and others here not enough. Because I am not willy nilly following the crowd I just dont understand. I really would like to come to my own conclusion on this matter. The only thing I can promise is to go over the stuff I have read and then some. Fair enough?
P.S. Did I just invent a new form of jet propulsion?
I'm on the east coast.
Actually I'm not in Florida right now, and haven't been for a few weeks.
She IS on death row. Her husband is the executioner.
Follow the money. Michael's been engaged to another woman now for how long?

Giving someone food and water isn't "keeping them alive." A lot of what this case is about is killing the helpless because they cannot take care of themselves. All the rest of it--claiming it's Terri's wish, the claims that she is brain-dead or comatose or vegetative (whatever the popular term of the moment)--are merely window dressing to the central issue, which is how we treat our helpless.
That leaves the door open to organ farms, forced blood banking and any other biologically and morally abhorant behavior the Feds deem is "in the best interest" of society.
I don't see how this is even remotely connected. I have strong feelings about organ donation--but I think that another time and place would be appropriate to discuss that.
What you see is what you get....he's genuine, intelligent, a great doctor and very down to earth.
I've known his family and especially his Chief of Staff & family for over 15 years.
Then read this.
Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner!
The answer is...
Well, I don't know, but it sure casts doubts on his motives, doesn't it?
For all practical purposes, courts have been making laws and frocing them on us. We are sliding towards a dictatorship of judges.
From what I understand the money is almost gone.
How about (and I steal this from a movie character) "May his suffering be legendary even in Hell"...
Of course she never told MS that she wanted to die. He denied it until after he won the lawsuit. When it comes to lies, he is another Scott Peterson.
So, the jerk admits it on national television, but we are still to believe that he is just carrying out Terri's desires???
