What does the "total silence" refer to? Do Scientologists believe that all should be quiet during labor and delivery? I'm not up on their protocols, but I knew Katie would have to do without the services of an anesthesiologist or any other pain meds. Does she have to be quiet, too?

Yes, they believe noise can traumatize the baby. I'd like to see Tom squeeze a pumpkin out his rear end and tell us how quiet he was. Nuts.

To me her death somehow does not feel like a year but more like a couple of months. We keep remembering it because it was such a horrific death, showed how corrupt the judges can be, etc.

Part of the learning curve for budding sociopaths, is to do it better next time. I am wary of molesters who did stupid things and got caught. Next time they try it, there are no witnesses left alive and with the proliferation of forensic cases on TV these days, even the stupid ones learn a little on hiding the evidence. Mikey did a poor job by breaking so many bones. He was really lucky to have an incompetent cop do the investigation initially. Next time he cannot rely on chance of incompetence, but must be more careful to get complicit investigative help.

On the plus side, as they get overconfident, they can't help themselves and take foolish risks. One day....

I am watching far too many crime and forensic TV shows.

>> Keeping quiet? Hell, I sounded like Howard Dean during my deliveries.

You have a gift for vivid description :-)

I liked the one about the pumpkin, great image in my mind, especially some of those big pumpkins they grow for fairs.

As I was just saying about your gift for vivid description <g>

By the way, this is a scene all of us would LOVE to watch. He's one of those actor people, isn't he? I'm just totally sure he could deliver his lines.

I also want to hear the peace and quiet when he slaps the pumpkin newborn baby.

CYA, and blame it on the lawyer. Keep talking Mike, pretty soon even your supporters are going to shy away.

Mikey is one of a kind in this department. He did stupid things, and kept doing stupid things for fifteen years afterward. Instead of getting "caught," he was recognized as a sociopathic pioneer. He was rewarded with millions for malpractice fraud. He became the toast of sociopathic lawyers and judges. He sociopathed both of his parents and his wife's cats. With great drama he sociopathed his sweetheart to the cheers of the sociopathic media and other moonbats. Now he is on the bioethics lecture tour and... he's knocking 'em dead!

Amen. They are already. The media are not fawning the way they used to. He should have kept his mouth wired shut.

The truth is being heard at last.

I've noticed that the talking heads aren't playing softball with him. I wonder what changed?

No one can say for sure but everyone is entitled to a theory. Mine is that the moral argument gains force because it nourishes something deep and necessary inside of us.

The immoral argument may be popular for a moment but it will soon fade. It's not an argument at all, but rather a statement that one belongs to the right clique. "We're the smart guys, you people suck."

Think of the dingbats cheering the death of a helpless woman and jeering at all of us who cared -- what sort of idealism is that? How can it sustain their energy and enthusiasm? It doesn't. Eventually they slink away and find some other cause.

At least it's clear that the truth is being heard now and is sinking in. When the final account is written, Free Republic will have had a strong and healthy role.

BEL AIR, Maryland, March 29 /Christian Wire Service/ -- What is a human life worth? Where were all the support groups when Terri Schiavo was dying a slow and painful death? What started our society on this downward spiral of lack of compassion and caring? Terri had a strong Catholic upbringingwhere was the church? How sad that animal rights groups are more pro-active than human rights groups.

Howie Gardner, in his latest book, The Church and Terri Schiavo, Living the Truth in a Culture of Death, has uncovered many of those answers. Through his own experience, Gardner developed a personal connection with Terri’s situation.

Why was Terri Schiavo Allowed to be Murdered? Starving a person to death is murder

I think perhaps this is the best explanation. A less charitable reason would be that they stuck their finger in the air to see which way the wind is blowing.

The man has changed his "facts" so many times, that I think even the hardest core liberal syncopant reporter is backing off. I think it's great that MS is giving interviews.

See my post right above to Lula. As for those that chose to make jokes about it, I don't know why they bothered visiting Terri threads in the first place. There are many topics (usually on chat), that I just don't bother looking at. It's not that hard.

The truth seeps through despite best media efforts. The Schindler book got short shrift in the printed and online media and the media although at arm's length from Mikey still hawk his pulp fiction as if it were the major news story. Considering the first day of Mikey's release it got good coverage, and the next day the Schindler book got some coverage mixed with coverage of the Mikey ramblings, today one might suspect a balance. Far from it, it is all about Mikey. Still, the Schindlers shine through despite this and the phoney polls showing how much Americans want the government to murder them. The media may not care a hoot about Mikey, but they are compelled to support the agenda of international socialists.

Good point. Where was NOW? Notice that they're never around when a woman is in real trouble. Not a peep out of them. Unfortunately I'm only half surprised at the silence of the American Church. Many Church heirarchy are liberals if not outright apostates. Pope JPII stood up for her, but what about the bishops and cardinals at least in Florida? Of course there are some, like Fr. Pavone, who braved censure to speak out.

The new pope has his hands full cleaning out the debris, but I hope he gives special attention to those clerics in Florida. I'm sure someone told him about MS's marriage in Church by now.

That wedding fell under Bp. Lynch and the lynch mob so happy to support Terri's murderers. Yet courageous priests did show up at the vigil and were outspoken in their unequivocal support of Terri and Church doctrine. Bp. Lynch was conspicuous by his absence and by allowing the wedding bells to ring.

Monsignor Malinowsky showed up regularly to visit Terri and even showed up in his General Officer uniform as Chief of Military Chaplains, in defiance. He is heroic in my book as are Brothers Paul and Hilary, and Fr. Pavone.

Many of the World Council of Churches members simply followed the doctrine of communism couched in the fuzzy words of ecumenism. Euthanasia fits in.

Odd that NOW is all for a dominant male abusing and murdering a helpless woman. Their silence states loudly they approved.
