PRESIDENT BUSH: WE HAVE DONE ALL WE COULD DO FOR TERRI

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=544&ncid=703&e=2&u=/ap/20050323/ap_on_go_pr_wh/bush

WACO, Texas - President Bush suggested Wednesday that he and Congress had done their best to help Terri Schiavo's parents prolong her life, and the White House said it has no further legal options.

"We felt like the actions taken with Congress was the best course of action," Bush said.

He spoke during a news conference with his counterparts from Canada and Mexico.

White House spokesman Scott McClellan later said, "There really are not other legal options available to us."

"We have explored all our options previously," McClellan said.

The brain-damaged woman's parents, racing against time, asked a federal appeals court in Atlanta on Wednesday for an emergency review of an appellate panel's ruling that her feeding tube not be hooked up again.

It's a sad day for sure.

Sen KIng believe in my heart of hearts as practicing Christian heaven is even better no matter how good life on earth.

Spent more time on my knees asking for a sign.

I concluded had God wanted to make any difference he could have done it.
God chose to unanimously confirm the fact that Terri's will be done.

I am frightened if you look in history.

Any time a nation has tried to impose it's political views over the court system it has empowered that it didn't like the decisions that its courts made the road to ruin is in the history books.

We have no business in legislature imposing our views on the end of life.

We've got no bus doing what we've doing.

Last year we made a herculean effort to save her and it was declared unconstitutional. Now we're doing th esame thing to what purpose.

Imposing what we think on her.

I don't thinkthose htat oppose the bill are any less Christian, or any less REpublican, or less antying else becasue we oppose this bill.

We have an opportunity to step aside and do what imo is God's decision. If we had not infused the tubes terri would b edead I'm mkaing the assumption she wants to be dea.d

I've got to step away./......too upsetting to listen anymore
