In his infamous Gettysburg Address, Abraham Lincoln orated “that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom….and that government of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth”.

It’s time for the people of the State of Florida to enforce that these words are as strong today as they were 140 years ago. Government is of the people, by the people and for the people—not the political powers that be.

Note, this doesn't come from radical right wingers...

Christopher Reeve, Terri Schiavo and Haleigh Poutre are all very different — different circumstances, different ages, different classes. But they should all make us think about the same question: Shouldn't we always err on the side of life?

It's a fact that former "Superman" Reeve and his family (including his wife, Dana, who recently died of lung cancer) made an impact on American culture after his 1995 riding accident. Whether you agreed with their politics (as I did) — they campaigned on behalf of Democrats and, most notably, for embryonic-stem-cell research and cloning — you were likely impressed with their example of a couple living gracefully with pain and heartache, raising a family and making the best of the cards they were dealt. But his was a life that even his own mother had given up on almost 10 years earlier — she begged doctors to pull the plug on him after his fall.

An Indian (and different) look at bioethics...

Twelve years after a law was passed banning Indian doctors from helping pregnant women to select the sex of their children, two medical professionals have been convicted, jailed and fined. Dr Anil Sabhani and his X-ray technician Kartar Singh were nabbed in a sting operation in the northern state of Haryana in 2001, which has one of the worst gender ratios in the world. Previous convictions have resulted only in fines.

Poor hospice, so lonely, maybe just a hint of bias here...

PINELLAS PARK – The Woodside Hospice House was quiet on March 31, the first anniversary of Terri Schiavo’s death.

The only thing out of the ordinary at the 102nd Avenue facility was a lone patrolman standing guard in case of trouble.

Schiavo’s anniversary passes quietly

Another Profiles of a Sociopath moment...

Be afraid, Tom DeLay, (or not), because a proud spouse killer, shimmering in puffed up rage declaims...

Schiavo claimed "there's no question " that DeLay retired in part because he supposedly didn't want to face voters in November after having sided with the Schindler family against Michael's desire to kill Terri.

"After what he did to Terri and me, he no longer deserved the public trust that he had been given," Michael said, applauding DeLay's decision to step down from public office.

I just rechecked the link and it works fine here. Maybe there is something on the Fox site clashing with your browser. Or maybe it was temporarily down.

>> doctors removed Short’s vital organs on Monday morning

Ring-ring! (What we need is a cash register .wav file.) Somebody made a bundle off Jameel and it wasn't his family. Ring up another hundred thou or two or three.

>> When it's multiple billions - they got pianked.

Stalin -- a reasonable authority on such matters, surely -- is credited with saying, "One death is a tragedy. One million deaths are a statistic."

We'll need a new measure for Pianka. "One thousand million dead is a PIDDLING TRIFLE. Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! There, six thousand million dead, now that's a fine start."

If only....a researcher would do a count on how many kids and otherwise healthy people in accidents get Short sheeted, pronounced brain dead and harvested before anyone can say, "Huh?".

I suppose most of the time the family goes along because the doctors just say it is "so".

Michael's comments on Tom Delay shows he is even more arrogant and egotiscal than I thought. Does he really think he played a role in Mr. Delay resigning????? You have got to be kidding me!?!?!?

What an arrogant bastard! Is this really what the Democrats are going to run on this year?? If so,why don't I hear about it everyday from their side??

Just FYI, Michael, Mr.Delay is stepping down due to the ethical and legal issues surrounding him, not anything to do with you! Gosh, what an idiot.

Plus, I hope Michael and his death-loving gang keep talking...in the end, it always helps pro-lifers.

I know for a fact that Dominique Hanks - faithful warrior
for Terri - was out at the corner of 102nd and the road that
the Woodside Hospice is on.

How she could have been missed by any reporter looking for
evidence that people still care, is beyond me.

Perhaps the reporters did not want to find anyone who cared?

Jeb Bush now apparently shows more affection for illegal aliens (all of whom are criminals) than for Terri. He could easily have saved her but he chose not to and then babbled about it being out of his hands.

No doubt!!

I should have mentioned that Dominique is wheel chair bound
and sat in the hot sun for hours with a sign honoring Terri.

Her mini protest would have made for a terrific photo
op for anyone truly looking for a story.

I guess if the reporters went way early or way late they would
have found nothing as perhaps they wanted to be the case.

"For some strange reason that day, I was just taking the covers off, and then she hit the floor," he said.

According to the manufactured police report, he was awakened when he heard a 'thud'.

Who is lying, Michael, the police, or both?
