Terri Schiavo - 80%: Non-Terminal Patients Should Not be Denied Food, Water; Three-to-One: Feeding Tube Should Stay in Place When Wishes Unknown
Zogby poll shows American's on side of Terri Schiavo living
(PRWEB) April 8, 2005 -- A Zogby poll conducted between March 30 and April 2, 2005 (sadly after Terri Schindler-Schiavo's murder by unlawful denial of hydration and nutrition aided and abetted by corrupt politicians, the Florida Department of Children and Families, the Florida Agency for Healthcare Administration, an out-of-control judiciary, Pinellas Park Police personnel, and agents of Hospice of the Florida Suncoast, Inc., etc.) indicated in several pertinent questions put before 1019 likely voters nationwide that the polls that politicians, judges were going by in regards to public opinion were not only unscientific but were poorly worded.
There does appear to be confusion on the part of some of the likely voters as to the duty of elected representatives to uphold and enforce the Constitution in regards to the inalienable right to life guaranteed by it's framers, in regards to the purpose of checks and balances, and the purpose of representative government. Those polled could choose between Agree, Disagree, and Not Sure (below results in this respective order) in regards to questions put to them. A large percentage of those polled saw the blatant conflict of interest of Michael Schiavo and the unsuitability of his being Terri's guardian. The mostly biased mainstream news media and certain biased local media outlets rarely reported that Michael Schiavo lived with another woman for over 10 years and had two children with the other woman. A large number of those polled were also rightly against hearsay being used in determining whether a feeding tube should be removed.
The hearsay evidence accepted by Judge Greer by conflicted parties Michael Schiavo, one of his brothers and a sister-in-law was neither clear nor convincing but was ruled to be such. The mostly biased mainstream news media and certain biased local media outlets never reported exactly what that hearsay evidence put forth by the conflicted parties was. Terri was also denied rehabilitation and speech therapy to get better and to regain her own voice. This was done on purpose to rely on the past hearsay wishes as opposed to her true wishes. Before her feeding tube was pulled she tried to say she wanted to live but of course was denied her voice in one of the most publicized, covered, etc. dehydration-starvation-torture-murders in the national/world spotlight that modern (supposedly advanced) civilization has ever seen.
