Update From the Court:
From Cheryl Ford RN March 21, 2005 5:55 PM ET
No decision from the Judge. The Judge did not give any indication when he would issue a ruling. The court hearing lasted approximately two hours.
David Gibbs: Clearly stated his arguments surrounding the law and the basis of the Congress and the statement of the President of the United States. David argued how the US Congress, the President of the United States and the Vatican supported Terri's rights. Mr. Gibbs eloquently spelled out that this hearing today was not to discuss the entire case, but to have an emergency decision to reinsert Terri's feeding tube. Gibbs stated, "Patrick Henry said give me liberty or give me death. Gibbs argued that if she is dead, she has no liberty."
George Felos: Droned on for an hour essentially attempted to make every argument he has been making for the last several years. He then rudely stood on the street corner and spoke to reporters stating they would have to "slice Terri's stomach open" in order to put the tube back in. Felos tried to convey to the reporters how the "majority" of America agreed with him and that what Terri's supporters were attempting to sell was propaganda. Felos stated that the President and the Congress have overstepped their boundaries.
Felos again tried to play Doctor and discuss a procedure he knows nothing about. He also does not address how if he wasn't Hitler, her tube would still be in. He never had to have the tube removed, it could have been capped off.
George Felos in my opinion is an evil man who walks the same path of the men who callously marched people into the gas chambers.
Judge Whittemore seemed to listen carefully to the issues surrounding Terri's religious rights being violated and her legal due process not being followed.
Mary Schindler told me this afternoon, that this morning at 6:00 AM, Terri did laugh with her father. Mary is very frightened for her daughter right now. It has been 72 hours since Terri has had fluids and nutrition. The Schindlers are a loving family and wish only to take their daughter home to provide her with the same love they gave to her from the day she was born.
President Bush issued a statement earlier saying that this is a complex case and a serious issue, however it is wise to always look on the side of life.
We pray that Judge Whittemore will come to a decision soon and will realize that Terri's life is pending his decision.
Am I the only one who caught that bit about the Hospice not objecting if Terri was moved away from there? What does that mean? Can she just go now???
We also have to remember, that if God wants Terri alive, no man can kill her.
Gensis 20:3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream of the night, and said to him, "Behold, you are a dead man because of the woman whom you have taken, for she is married.'' you are about to have an innocent women murdered!
One dream will do it.
