(Attorney)Weller said Terri cried when her mother hugged her Saturday night. "She knows what's going on. She was trying to vocalize something with Mary."
"The governor should know that Terri still knows who her mother is, and she's extremely distressed," Weller said. "She's not a vegetable who doesn't know what is happening."
Paul O'Donnell, a Roman Catholic Franciscan monk, said the family unsuccessfully urged Michael Schiavo to allow his wife the sacrament of communion during the holiest feast of the Catholic year. She received last rites the day the feeding tube was pulled.
"This is in violation of her religious rights and freedoms and allows the governor to ... intervene," O'Donnell said, repeating the family's request that the governor take Schiavo into protective custody. "We beg you to have courage and take action."

Maybe I won't have to. Maybe I'll see her face in it.

I need to leave this thread. There are good Christians here who are genuinely grieving, and there are jerks here looking to fight in the name of Christ. For the sake of the former, I won't do it.
To: Chad Fairbanks
Chad. Stop. This is unbecoming.
Grammie has spoken. :)

I bet I can guess them in one try.

Fortunately, I'm not afraid to groin-kick in return.

"Terri's husband already had last rites performed for her. A subsequent communion hardly seems appropriate."
It is Easter so it is appropriate.

Sure it is. What's being said about Jeb, or me, and many others IS unbecoming, Grammie. Am I not allowed to defend myself against baseless groin-kicks?

----A man who could call the state police and have Terri saved in one instance--but who refuses to--is a man at deep enmity with God.---- Y'know, Jeb's older brother could call in an Elian Gonzales-style raid if he so chose and settle this whole feeding-tube business once and for all, directly from the top. He hasn't.
So, are you seriously going to tell us that George W. Bush is "at deep enmity with God"??!!

It's only going to get worse. When I heard the decision yesterday, I said I hope Terri goes real quickly. I didn't like thinking that but I did :(

You are not allowed to make fun of other people's faith. Nor are you allowed to make fun of a lady who's dying tonight.
Grammie is speaking. Has spoken. And all that stuff.

I have wanted Terri Schiavo to survive this all along, but if anyone could make it possible for me not to care
No, you never cared in the first place, because what you cared about is your man--Jeb Bush--at all costs, even he proves to be manifestly unfit for the office of executive. When it comes right down to the judiciary having the right to starve whom it will, or defending your team's pitcher, you treat the whole damn thing like a baseball game.
We ARE a nation of laws, not men, and murder is AGAINST THE LAW. Why this governor can't stand up to a stinking judge and a corrupt chief of police I DO NOT KNOW.

You're all over the place tonight.
Get some rest, it's Easter Sunday.
Good night.

If she can't chew and swallow how is she going to take communion without choking to death? This is a scam.
