Parents keep watch over dying Schiavo (MICHAEL DENIES TERRI FINAL COMMUNION)

(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."

I appreciate that someone who is not Catholic can see the cruelty applied in refusing to allow the woman to participate in a holy ritual of her faith.

You think the media will report it?

Human rights are those we possess by virtue of being human. They are God given rights, natural rights, i.e., rights we possess by nature, not by law. They are not rights granted to us by any government, and so they cannot be taken away by any government.

Thanks.

God gives life and He takes it. His timing, not Hemlock's.

They are messing with the wrong person - when God deals with you - YOU KNOW you have been dealt with. He corrects, He chastizes. God is love but God also has wrath. Believing it or not doesn't change it for The Hemlock's. His Word always was, always will be, and always will remain the same.

Wouldn't that be awesome if he would heal her and let her start talking, and show the world what a horrible mistake this is.

If that were to happen, no one would know as she is surrounded by agents of death. Her room is now an execution and death chamber filled only by the victim and her executioners.

How can I answer her when she asks why President Bush has not done anything.

How can you possibly say this? Have you no respect for the truth?

My answer to her will be I wash my hands of all of them. (politicians)

Good. Take the bait and remove yourself from the process of changing the laws and preventing this in the future.

A little more brain power and a little less adrenaline is called for here.

[Kaslin]

He's a Lutheran.

They got a dispensation to marry in the Church

She is a divorcee and as such they can not get married in a catholic church

This is a heinous offense..
Yesterday Felos said- I've never seen her more natural, beautiful (in her death state), etc.

This man is given himself over to Satan the father of all lies and perversions..

I'm less concerned about the US lacking a moral advantage at home than the application of protection to the disabled at home.

That said, I agree with the article.

[presently no screen name]

Her parents with all their court hearings under so much stress and deep love for their daughter, it must sickening them more to have Felos in the same room as Terri.

When I think of MS and Felos in her prison cell, gleefully gazing at her dying body it sickens me.

And then comes out and spew his lies to their counterpart - MSM.

They choose to kill her body BUT her soul lives on for eternity.

[pbmaltzman]

He apparently did try insulin on her, but the original injury, back in 1990, seems to have been attempted strangulation, at least from what I have read.

[Sicon]

But Michael Schiavo's attorney, George Felos, denied reports by the parents' attorneys that her tongue and eyes were bleeding, wracked by dehydration.

Oh really? So why won't they let any cameras into the room, so we can all see for ourselves just how "peaceful" and "euphoric" death by dehydration and starvation really is?

If history teaches us nothing else, it tells us that the one sure mark of unhinged fanaticism is when the response to it involves the unifying of two completely disparate and otherwise mutually disdainful sides in reaction to it.

So you seem to be calling the sons of liberty fanatics for uniting staid old Tories and savage Indians together? You should spend some time in the political writings of the founders, prior to the war for American independence. Sam Adams, the father of our revolution, used terminology I've only hinted at.

There is simply no way to remind someone they are embracing cowardice. I am gratified, moreover, to see that most Freepers are absolutely disgusted by the polite, resigned proceduralism for which people like you seem to be carrying the standard.

[farmer18th]

And I am going to laugh about it, for a brief moment, then promptly relegate you to the dustbin of history, where all fringers end up.

And where you want Terri put as well.

Were you whining about "cheap shots" earlier?

[AmericanChef]

-Okay... so where are all the members of the "Michael Schiavo couldn't have been as bad as everyone says" club now?-

They're no longer listening. They've surrounded themselves in a fog of ignorance and avoidance.

[Howlin]

They hate God...

Look at this fine Christian man.

[Deo volente]

I meant that Terri and Michael got a dispensation to marry, because he is Lutheran.

Jodi is divorced, yes. She's also Catholic, like Terri.

They would need an annulment of her first marriage before they could marry in the Church.

They would also need Terri to be dead.

[Twinkie]

She is being murdered.

[paulsy]

"...denies Terri final communion..."

I want to see this in the MSM.

[SteveMcKing]

Though her own faith may not matter so much, she is suffering a classic Christian death for the crime of living. Surely this will inspire many others, and who knows what visions and miracles will happen someday by praying for her.

"What purpose would that serve? Just asking."

'To glorify God', is the answer to that.
