Bob and Mary Schindler, both practicing Catholics, urged dozens of supporters gathered outside the Florida hospice where Schiavo is being cared for to go home for Easter.
"The family would request that everyone go home, be with your children, hold them close and share every moment you have with them," said Brother Paul O'Donnell, a Franciscan monk who is a spiritual adviser to the Schindlers.
It was not clear if the Schindlers had finally abandoned all legal avenues in their fight to restart their 41-year-old daughter's feeding, a cause that embroiled the Florida legislature, the U.S. Congress and President Bush.

He's not even worth it, NorCalRepub. He hates the GOP, anyone affiliated with the GOP, and that ain't gonna change.
He wouldn't even be doing this if we conservatives in the GOP had had the foresight to elect one Dr. Alan Keyes into the Oval Office... Then, you see, Dr. Keyes would have ridden in on his stallion, and wisked Terri away to the land of Milk and Honey, where it's sunny all the time, and then he would have placed his hands upon her head and said, "Heal, my child", and yea, she would be healed.
But instead, we got that stinker Bush in the White House...
Heh heh heh
I've been saying that Terri's life is being gamed by the courts to put this on legal malpractice. Whittemore has done it as well, and the courts of appeal as well, but the latter is most subtle.
I'm not saying that there's been malpractice -- I'm saying that the courts are blaming the Schindlers lawyers for Terri's impending death. That's passing the buck and history will record it as such.
Despicable behavior by Judge Greer. Courts exist to administer justice, not to pass the buck.
And they'll never get over it.

"..but thankfully our nations is still a nation of laws."
Are you willing to say that the dehydration and starvation order laid down for Michael and against Terri is an act of murder made legal?
OR
Are you willing to say that the dehydration and starvation order laid down for Michael and against Terri is lawful and therfore not an act of murder?
Which way is it to be?
well I have not seen these people as I post on only the somewhat related threads....you know why, cause on most Terri threads, anyone with opposing views stay off for the most part.......go look at them, it is a buddy buddy fest of mostly like minded.....and any post remotely challenging them is met with hell, fire and brimstone......I am including you in that
Now wanting helpless women to not be done to death by thirst is 'narrow-minded faith', and makes me a 'hater', according to you.
How do you live with yourself?
Are you willing to say that the dehydration and starvation order laid down for Michael and against Terri is an act of murder made legal?
Yes. Legal, due to bad laws, but morally an act of murder.
I wouldn't have hailed him as a hero. I think very reasonable people, from both sides of the political aisle, have questioned both his objective decisions (in not ordering tests) and subjective judgments regarding her wishes.
Best sumery I've read yet, thankx
thank God then I don't admire or respect your hateful speech then....there are others here like MT who disagree maybe with me or Chad but discusses the matter like an adult without name calling and such....you don't have kids or anything that you teach these NOT "winning friends and influencing people" type of debate or discussion......I hope not....it is not the best way to get your point across because it is lost after the first insult.....
You may respect Gov. Bush. That is part of Free Will.
According to Florida's Statutes, if Gov. Bush believed Terri was in danger (can we agree she is in danger? Good.) then he and/with the DFC has the authority to go in and get Terri.
He DID NOT do it.
Therefore, he did not do everything he could under the law.
If you wish to say he did everything you may continue to do so.
I know he didn't do what the statutes says he can do because Terri still there, still dying.
And the Florida Statute that authorizes him to take her out of that HellHole is still on the books.
Of course he didn't break the law.
He wouldn't do anything that wasn't legal.
He failed to do everything he could do, legally.
haha......Alan Keyes.....while a very smart man, he is also a bit out there also with even the likes of some right leaning talk show hosts admitting that....well, I guess I tried to be civil to old EV...but I guess that is lost on his sanctimonious attitude......
You're incoherent.
Not worth talking to. Later.
I remember that. It was a simple but powerful statement.
sorry lone voice, i meant to say I am NOT including you in this....sorry.....it is getting late
It's getting better.
A royal summons.
