P.S.
Scott McClellan also said that the president hopes to keep working with DeLay.
I wish our President would get every nuance, even if it takes an entire day out of his life, to fully understand the efforts the Schindler's made to have michael schiavo questioned about his grotesque, cruel, vile and compassionless guardianship actions in the years after he got the malpractice money.
It was the breaking of the guardianship laws of conduct that caused and made possible the florida judiciary decree that 'terri must die'.
Were our President to speak to a nation that had to stand by helplessly and know that police stood over Terri to prevent her parents and siblings from offering her water, A LOT WOULD CHANGE, and FAST!
If only there were a way for our President to understand how much Terri's fight to live, the fact that she had to live in the conditions her guardian demanded, without sunshine upon her face, without comfort, with no hope of therapy or home visits to her parents, outraged and hurt the hearts of so many of us...changing us forever.
Were our President to speak to the issue of the Hospice organization or ANY organization founded to help the terminally ill, now being used as an euthanasia home depot for the death of those who are deemed 'never going to improve' from their disability, MUCH WOULD CHANGE.
Our President could do much to bring to bear the importance of the sanctity of life, speaking to the Weimer Republic in the 30's in Germany...where euthanasia (called mercy killings) began on the mentally disabled, first. Long before it progressed to the homeless, institutionalized, disabled, homosexuals, political opponents and finally, the jewish people who were deemed racially inferior.
It is time to shine a light on HOSPICE as well as a judiciary that opts for death over life when great matters of imbalance and unfairness are evident.
Our laws are designed to provide for the rights of EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN CITIZEN, DISABLED, INFIRM, HEALTHY, ILL or whatever, as stated in our consititution.
Terri was denied her constitutional rights on so many levels it hurts.
