"I have written, I have emailed, and I've gotten on the phone with senators and tried not to break down in tears. "

You have no reason to defend yourself to anyone, you've been here and you have done alot as we all have, you have no one to answer to, if that poster doesn't like how we discuss stuff here, he/she can find another blog, I am sure there are others where they never say a single prayer.

JUDGE WHITTEMORE RULES AGAINST TERRI

Federal Judge Nixes Schiavo's Feeding Tube

MARK LONG, Associated Press Writer

TAMPA, Fla. - A federal judge on Friday refused to order the reinsertion of Terri Schiavo's feeding tube, yet another setback for the parents of the brain-damaged woman in their battle against her husband to keep her alive.

For a second time, U.S. District Judge James Whittemore ruled against the parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, who had asked him to grant their emergency request to restore her feeding tube while he considers a lawsuit they filed.

The tube was removed a week ago on a state judge's order that agreed with her husband, who has said she has no hope for recovery and wouldn't want to be kept alive artificially. The Schindlers believe their daughter could improve and wouldn't want to die.

As of Friday morning, Terri Schiavo, 41, had been without food or water for almost seven days and was showing signs of dehydration — flaky skin, dry tongue and lips, and sunken eyes, according to attorneys and friends of the Schindlers. Doctors have said she would probably die within a week or two of the tube being pulled.
