But, but, but...I thought this was Terri's wish??? /sarc
ping!
A most worthy goal.

FYI
America's robed mullahs and Hillarycare will make that decision for you, once you're herded into their facilities. Love means never having to say your sorry. Right Al?
Betrayal on all levels, even by her own church, except for a tiny handful, the pope and Congress (who perhaps could have done more), her unflagging supporters and her devoted family. The final slap in the face was the church-sanctioned marriage to the second wife after he "legally murdered" his first one.
"second stage"?
Agreed. There was a clear argument for denying the marriage based on the impediment of crimen.
And, yet, what choice do we have? We must continue to fight, even when it seems hopeless.
Wow, an article that actually states the truth about Terri.
Yes, it is quite a story. At first she was getting decent treatment up to the time he won a malpractice lawsuit. Things went downhill after that, his taking her for an experimental brain surgery, and then sequestering her away from any therapy or stimulus for years. It is all heavily documented in our past Terri Daily threads with links galore. Some others here are better equipt to tell the details than I.
It's like the final irony to discover in the autopsy report that the malpractice lawsuits were swindles. Fraud. Terri did not "collapse" from bulimia. We pointed that out here long before Doc Thogmartin got around to it. There is no known innocent explanation of Terri's extensive injuries. The autopsy report refuted Michael Schiavo's only alibi.
Wendy Murphy, the distinguished Massachusetts rights attorney and former prosecutor, vented her disgust that Michael was known to be a "fraud on the court" in 1993, yet got everything he wanted later from Greer. Ms. Murphy referred to Michael's fraudulently going back on his promises and trying to kill Terri as soon as he got the settlement money (which he would have inherited). Ms. Murphy was not even aware, when she said this, that the lawsuits themselves were based on a completely fraudulent claim about the non-existent bulimia.
So to now condemn the media seems more than a little disingenuous...at best.
So, the media are willing tools of the religious right? That will surprise the heck out of the media types.
As I recall, from following Terri's story for two years, for the most part, the media presented the liars' version of Terri's story.
Maybe the reporters were lazy. Maybe they had an agenda. They certainly tended to be biased.
You were at the vigils, weren't you, 8mmMauser? Our visitor here represents that you and the other vigilers had control over the media. This is truly a miracle. Perhaps, as an actual witness, you could tell us how you did it?
Didn't say that. But the media does look for news. And it was the Schiavo supporters who wanted the media coverage and did everything they could to keep up the coverage. Nothing wrong with using the media, but to later condemn it when you were the ones who created the conditions for it and wanted it seems as I said, a bit disingenuous.
How so? They covered the crowd outside the hospice continually which, as I recall, consisted of mainly the Terri supporters. News conferences were given often by the Schindlers and their attorney, and later on their "chief" planner, Randall Terry. Then of course, the media covered the Congressional voting on the action to force the federal courts into the fray. I saw every aspect of it covered on the news. So I'm not sure what "liars' version" you are referring to.
