This is an unprecedented session. The Congress is meeting to save one persons life (in real time).
The only reason the Democrats are agreeing to this is that they don’t want to be known as the party that killed Terri.
This is American history happening before your eyes.
Never mind that the Guardian Ad-Litem thought swallow testing might yield a result.
Dude, that is cold,,,,,and funny!
Wasserman is a total b*tch and she needs to go...she's probably one of Michael's concubines
It's pure statistics. The more people you have in a legislative group, the more extreme wackos you have. It's just the old bell curve. This woman is on the extreme far left side of the IQ curve among the 200+ house DimocRATs.
FYI, to remind people of the official Catholic stance on all of this:
From the Catechism of the Catholic Church:
276 Those whose lives are diminished or weakened deserve special respect. Sick or handicapped persons should be helped to lead lives as normal as possible.
2277 Whatever its motives or means, direct euthanasia consists in putting an end to the lives of handicapped, sick, or dying persons. It is morally unacceptable.
Thus an act of omission which, of itself or by intention, causes death in order to eliminate suffering constitutes a murder gravely contrary to the dignity of the human person and to the respect due to the living God, his Creator. The error of judgment into which one can fall in good faith does not change the nature of this murderous act, which must always be forbidden and excluded.
2278 Discontinuing medical procedures that are burdensome, dangerous, extraordinary, or disproportionate to the expected outcome can be legitimate; it is the refusal of "over-zealous" treatment. Here one does not will to cause death; one's inability to impede it is merely accepted. The decisions should be made by the patient if he is competent and able or, if not, by those legally entitled to act for the patient, whose reasonable will and legitimate interests must always be respected.
2279 Even if death is thought imminent, the ordinary care owed to a sick person cannot be legitimately interrupted. The use of painkillers to alleviate the sufferings of the dying, even at the risk of shortening their days, can be morally in conformity with human dignity if death is not willed as either an end or a means, but only foreseen and tolerated as inevitable. Palliative care is a special form of disinterested charity. As such it should be encouraged.
2280 Everyone is responsible for his life before God who has given it to him. It is God who remains the sovereign Master of life. We are obliged to accept life gratefully and preserve it for his honor and the salvation of our souls. We are stewards, not owners, of the life God has entrusted to us. It is not ours to dispose of.
For those of us who are believing and serious Catholics, doing what MS wants to do is seriously wrong.
I hope Hillary is watching her presidential ambitions go up in smoke....All I have to say to anyone thinking of voting Democrat. Go for it. Vote for the party that wants you dead because it may take too much money to keep you living.....Well Hillary, you can forget the Senior Citizens block and the baby boomers also.
And I hear that our President, the compassionate Christian Goerge W. Bush is standing ready as well. God bless him and our gutsy legislators!
Your tagline is correct. The dem/libs burn candles, have concerts or anything else to lend support to the groups that are always against America. Now they are trying to hasten the death of a young woman who is defenseless. I hope the Dem/libs fail and fail miserably. They are the raunchiest group of excuses for human beings I have ever seen. They lack a heart and a soul. God forgive them. Hang in there Terri....
.
A Prayer of Healing for TERRI:
"Almighty GOD,
...if it be Your will,
...please heal her with your LOVE.
...If it not be Your will,
...please heal her Fear"
AMEN

Sinkspur again displays his constitutional retardation.
The Supreme Court's jurisdiction regarding this case is discretionary, and it's unlikely it will take up the case, especailly inasmuch as it already turned the case down.
She's repeating the same old lies about Terri's condition.
She was once a human, but now she is a space alien.
Did someone on this forum use the term "useless eaters?"
Not that I'm aware. They use euphemisms...helps 'em sleep.
When did we jump from 10 judges to 19? apparently he said that around 9:00 pm, right? It's a little after midnight now. How many are we up to? Last I checked, only one judge (greer) had ever examined any of the evidence, and he ignored most of it. I know there were other judges before him, but as far as I know, none of their findings are at issue today. Some of judge greer's rulings have been reviewed, but none of the evidence has ever been reviewed. There is a difference.
Well done, KaC.
Is this guy having some serious brain farts? He can't seem to hold a thought or complete a sentence. I think he's going to cry.
Rep Steny Hoyer...what a ball of fire this guy is.
Tube back in.
Lower Court Official in contempt of Congress.
Favorable Federal Court ruling.
Steady but slow progress for Terri.
Michael Schiavo's house of cards falls down/new scummy details emerge.
Terri taken care of by parents.
Democrats dogged nationwide and unmercilessly with the tag of having been for the painful murder of a helpless woman that was eventually saved, and her victimhood revealed in full. Dems running for cover everywhere as they are seen as the New National Socialists.
