Find out the TRUTH about Terris Fight for life

I purchased this book last year, and found it to be one of the best references for facts in Terri Schiavo's case. Reading this book is like sitting down with Cheryl and Jan, and listening/watching them present the actual evidence and truth about so many things that the mainstream "pro euthanasia" media has refused to tell. You will see the actual hospital documents, police reports, and so much more.

I will warn you though, that once you learn about the judicial misconduct, FL laws broken, the details of Michaels malpractice case,(money was paid under the claim that Terri had a heart attack brought on by potassium imbalance that was undetected. The autopsy confirmed this assumption was bogus, and that Terri never had a heart attack brought on by anything. The news however, is consistently reporting to this day that the autopsy confirmed the heart attack! There is a lot more about the autopsy that has never been reported. The geniuses reported that the autopsy proves Terri was not strangled, however, it only proves that 15 years later, there is no sign of soft tissue damage - nor would there be if someone was strangled that long ago!) Reporters should be charged with a misleading the public charge for purposely reporting assumptions as truth. And why is it that all the TV stations do not disclose that Terris records were SEALED by Judge Greer?

No one reports on the bone scan that indicated a tremendous force hit her, as well as the multiple fractures and other damage. ****HBO Autopsy Dr. Himself, Mr Baden, had commented on the bone scan before Terris death, and suggested there may have been foul play.*** There is so much corruption involved in Terris case, Pro death judges making their political position the law, instead of obeying the law and keeping their opinions out of it! Greer sealed her case, so why isnt any anchors asking about that? Why were Michaels prescribed anti depressant bottles witnessed by the police the night of the "Incident" taken as evidence? Why were Terris friends and family not questioned regarding Michaels attitude, or any marital problems? The first report on what happened at the Schiavo residence, was titled a homicide. Why was it changed? What happened to the woodwards and Bernsteins in our country? Now each network or cable news feeds off the other, like vultures. They report the same story over and over, from reuters or the like, and rarely ever investigate it themselves. Newspapers follow suit. If someone investigated the five different interviews that Schiavo has given to the media and police reports, Michael Schiavo might very well be behind bars, in the cell next to Scott Peterson.

There is actually v ery little difference between the two, the more you learn about what may very well have happened that night to Terry. Yet strangely, Matt Lauer and Larry King, and all the other news media does not bring up these questions, or question Michael why in the 7 years after Terris "incident" did he never ever tell a soul about Terris wishes that for seven years he supposedly denied? No media outlet reported on the testimony that Schiavo told other people that he had no idea what Terri would have wanted, as they had never spoken of something like that happening in any context. The only time Michael did come out with this revelation was after he asked his girlfriend to marry him, and all of a sudden there was a rush to get rid of Terri and whooops, there it is, a million dollar inheritance!

If someone is in a position to gain something from another persons death, they should not be the guardian of that person. PERIOD. For all the sappy journalists that report that Michael became a nurse to take care of Terry, the truth is that he did not really "care" for Terry. He bossed around nurses, on a Schiavo power trip but he didnt take care of Terri. Did anyone report on the testimony of nurses that said that Terri would be visibly shaken after his visits, and afraid, crying, etc? Did they report that there were nurses that made entries in Terris medical file about things Michael said or did, or how Terri responded, and Michael would see to it that they were removed?

I could go on and on! If you care about the truth, learn more about this case, not just what you hear your TV anchor saying. We all owe that to Terri, because at the very least, what happened to her will affect all of the laws regarding other disabled people like her.

Of course the "Pro Death" movement hates this book, which is why I see some entries in the reviews desperately trying to persuade others to pass it up. They dont want you to see it, which is why you need to see it. Cheryl, who is by the way, a registered nurse gave up her life on the West coast as a consultant to the Schindlers during the fight for Terris life. She was on the inside, aware of all of the facts regarding Terris injuries, her marriage, the inconsistent interviews, Testimonies regarding the night of Terris "incident", and so much more. Ford and Craddock do the legwork in reading all of the court documents, and bring out the parts that others left buried. Cheryl also led thousands of Terris supporters, that grew once the videos were released. Here michael and Judge Greer were talking of Terri as if she were in a coma, as if she were sleeping and not responsive at all. Greer and Schiavo were furious that the videos were released to the public. That now there was proof that Terri was aware, and did respond to family, dr's questions, and requests, could track things with her eyes. Another fallacy of the autopsy was that Terri could not see. False. It was stated that to be sure that Terri could or could not see, a doctor would have to do just what the videos did. They would have to examine her and see how much she was able to see - and any moron could tell that Terri could see to some extent after recognizing family, and following baloons and lights she was requested to follow. The fight4terri group worked 24/7 through internet emails, faxes, phone calls, letters, protests, to reach those with the power to save Terris life.

Anyone upset about the facts in this book, is really angry that the truth is coming out in it. when the truth comes out, the advocates for people like Terri have their agendas pushed back once again. If people like Terri and others with Alzheimers and brain damage, chronic disease, etc are looked at as liabilities within the health system rather than human beings who still have worth, who still have hope, and who still have a right to live with simple food and water. Terri, was not on any machines as was reported on many programs, she was not weak, my Lord, she lasted 14 days without one drop of water. Many of us who are healthy would not last one quarter of that time.

Without this book, you will be missing a great deal of the story on Terris life, the autopsy, as well as what really happened before, during, and after Terri was injured. The book is well written and what really went on in Terri's life will keep you glued to the pages. I am purchasing additional books for lawmakers in hopes of changing our country's guardianship laws. I would encourage everyone who reads it to do the same, if you want to stop seeing other innocent people like Terri sentenced to death. There are many more than Terri, every day, who die silently, with no one to speak for them. The hospice agenda of starving patients has gone out of control. Terri and others like her, are dying painful, horrible deaths, in rooms far away from Katie Courick, Matt Lauer or Larry King. They are dying with nurses and doctors standing by, ignoring the oath they took not to harm their patients. These are people who never agreed to such torture, and pain. People being starved, guilty of being disabled, and needing someone to bring the food and water to their mouth, to a straw or to a longer straw going into the stomach if their swallowing is affected. there is no difference. The Judge in Terris case (Greer) didnt mandate that she only have the tube taken out, he mandated that even if Terri could eat or drink sustenance by mouth, it would not be offered to her, by his decree. He made sure that police would be there to see that no one allowed Terri to even attempt to eat or drink on her own, regardless of testimony from numerous nurses that she could and did indeed eat on their shifts, jello, pudding and other soft or liquid foods. Instead, given that testimony from multiple sources, Greer made sure that no tests would be done on Terri to confirm whether or not she could eat by mouth! He mandated that Terri do nothing less than DIE. We dont starve murderers, it would be too cruel a death. However, for those with disabilities who can not speak, they are the ones who are forced to suffer that fate, by a Judge who never ever went to see Terri once in all the years that her case was in the courts. Bottom line, we need laws that insure food and water be given to any person without a clear written and signed directive. We need to make sure that men who move on and take another family do not get to decide whether hat happens to the woman they left behind. Every womens group that turned a deaf ear to Terri, should be totally ashamed. ACLU as well. The same Judge that was appointed to watch over Terris medical funds to make sure they were there for her, should not have been able to allow her husband to take them, and buy an expensive lawyer that he could not afford on his own with her medical care money! You will see the judicial misconduct in this case and it will make you scream! If the world knew what was in this book before Terri died, she would be alive right now! My gratitude to Ford and Craddock for such an excellent and much needed book.

Mike Bloomberg is doing his best to make New York City uninhabitable. If he keeps it up, there won’t be anything much left for the next terrorist attackers to hit.

>> But some medical ethicists defend the law, suggesting that family members do not have the medical expertise and are often too emotional to make a decision in the best interest of the patient.

The same medical ethicists, on behalf of Michael Schiavo, argued in thundering terms for the FAMILY to make the PRIVATE decisions for Terri Schiavo -- Congress stay out!!

So they take opposite positions on who should make the decision. What is consistent in the two positions? DEATH FOR THE PATIENT.

>> "Two of the 11 tapes remain sealed by the court, but it is not known why."

The point of sealing records is to conceal wrongdoing from the public.

The liberals say it's to protect their privacy, which is the same thing. Privacy is the all-purpose screen behind which they plunder the treasury, do abortions, take water and food away from disabled patients, and otherwise behave like leftist rats.

Re: Post 151, thanks 8mmMauser, GREAT find. Your link about Duncan Hunter covers everything from the life issues to China.

I also particularly liked:

After the 1st debate on DUNCAN HUNTER: http://www.americandaily.com/article/18685

“When Romney wavered about federal funding for stem cell research - Hunter was certain about his opinion and wanted to share it with Mrs. Reagan.”

Perhaps Mrs. Reagan will investigate and see the countless of treatments from ADULT stem cells, after hearing Hunter.

I agree that all he needs are the financial resources, and nothing is too small. The woman who ran against Murtha said she received one million hits on her website, and if only each person that visited her website gave at least $1..........

Roland S. Martin's Laugh-in, or at...

It is difficult for me to follow this representative of CNN without concluding the author is a befuddl-er or a befuddl-ee. For, he talks of taking of an innocent life as comparable to taking the life of a killer.

..............................

Aside from Rudy Giuliani's torturous explanation of his views on abortion, it was easy to discern after Thursday's debate that the candidates running for the Republican presidential nomination are staunch advocates of life, namely when it comes to abortion.

In fact, they were passionate on the issue, and some made it clear that nothing is more important than life itself.

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney: "Well, I've always been personally pro-life."

When asked about the Terri Schiavo case, he replied: "I think the Congress's job is to make sure that laws are respecting the sanctity of life."

California Rep. Duncan Hunter evoked the memory of a late president to explain his position: "Ronald Reagan said, on the question of life, 'When there's a question, err on the side of life.' "

Kansas Sen. Sam Brownback was the most eloquent on the subject: "I believe life is one of the central issues of our day, and I believe that every human life at every phase is unique, is beautiful, is a child of a loving God, period."

He later added: "Her life is sacred. Even if it's in that difficult moment that she's in at that point in time, that life is sacred, and we should stand for life in all its circumstances."

On stem cell research, Brownback said, "It is not necessary to kill a human life for us to heal people."

That last line caught my attention because that is often something we hear from victims rights groups, law enforcement and prosecutors when someone is put to death for committing a crime.

But if you take the candidates at face value, then why hold the same view when it comes to the death penalty?

GOP is pro-life in the womb, not necessarily after

John Hinderaker http://powerlineblog.com, is quoted today in the News-Leader...

Most of the mainstream coverage of last night's debate that I have seen is poor, largely because it unduly emphasizes the role played by the abortion issue. The Associated Press's account is typical. It is titled, "GOP Debate Focuses on Iraq War, Abortion," and the first seven paragraphs refer only to the participants' stances on abortion.

I think this emphasis is ludicrously out of step with the actual concerns of Republican primary voters, but very much in tune with the stereotype of Republicans that the MSM seek to convey. (It was no accident that one of Chris Matthews' questions was about Terri Schiavo!)

There are of course Republican voters who are deeply concerned about the social issues. But in my judgment, national security is far and away the biggest issue for Republican primary voters as a whole, with taxes and spending second and the social issues, of which abortion is one, third. Press coverage suggesting that last night's event focused largely on abortion give a grossly distorted view of that event and of the Republican candidates, but that is the impression that the large majority of Americans who didn't see the debate, but did see newspaper headlines, are likely to come away with.

Mainstream media misses the boat

Another concept this morning is hard for me to grasp. How does a hospice appeal to people in need when Terri is used as an example. She was there not at all because she was near death, but because her husband and the courts sought her death.

During the week, Elliott is one of 30 nurses making sure their hospice patients like McQuiston are as pain-free as possible and are getting the care they need in what may be the last days and months of their lives. As a hospice nurse for Millington and Tipton County, she sees patients whose hearts can't be fixed, cancers that can't be cured or whose bodies are wearing out.

Hospice officials believe using such care is becoming more accepted within the community. "It's largely because of the higher-profile cases like Terri Schiavo," said Dee Flood, development coordinator for Methodist Hospice, Elliott's employer.

Hospice provides care to those in their last days, months

Ping to a thread by don-o. Thanks, narses.

Model, singer and actor Eduardo Verastegui, “heartthrob” of countless women in Mexico and Latin America for his romantic leads in Spanish-language soap operas ("Herida de Amor," "Salomé", "Tres Mujeres") and movies (“My Gardener,” “Chasing Papi”), has become one of the most eloquent voices against abortion in Mexico and the U.S.

The singer/model/actor, once caught up in the hot “vida loca” of self-indulgence, glamour, and money, says he has no fear of public rejection for denouncing “the holocaust of abortion.” Verastegui has explained his pro-life convictions to various Mexican media outlets and has created an organization in California to help those in need, especially women who are experiencing untimely or difficult pregnancies.

In an interview with the magazine Hola, he said he was “very frustrated over what is happening in Mexico today. I think there is tremendous manipulation of the news that the Mexican people are being given. The law is based on lies, because abortion is a crime."

Ping to a thread by Coleus which echoes a theme amongst some Catholic bishops befuddl-ers that sounds like the Democrat talking points I posted earlier today, #166.

It is not a rare thing for Catholic prelates to assert definitively that the Church opposes capital punishment. Some even liken the death of a defenseless aborted baby to that of a criminal duly judged by a competent court and condemned for a grave violation of the moral or judicial order. Such prelates conclude that Catholics are obliged to reject not only abortion but also the death penalty as well.

Is the Church Against Abortion and the Death Penalty?

You’re right. He does not know the difference between innocent babies and a criminal on death row. But then, he’s pro-choice and anti-abortion at the same time too. What use is that? “You ladies, you just go bump off your babies if you choose to. I’ll sit here and make faces.”

>> Hospice provides assistance for patients who have life-threatening illnesses and whose doctors believe that their patients have less than six months to live. "It moves from curing to caring," Flood explained.

Let us explain that hospice care is significantly less than nursing home care, that Terri did NOT have a life-threatening condition, and that she was illegally placed in hospice for five YEARS. They wouldn't even open her window shades or take her out in the sunlight -- on Michael's orders. In other words, despite the claims of Michael's supporters, she did not get good care for those last years. She was warehoused with minimal care by while her cheating spouse was out making babies with another woman.

Wagglebee thread. Thanks, wagglebee and narses. I grabbed this excerpt from the center...

The real problem with the debate about abortion is that those who have a vested interest in having abortion continue unhindered (for whatever reason), have been allowed to frame the nature of life before the moment of birth. The natural inclination of the human mind, or that innate sense of God’s law that is written in the hearts of all, would be to assume that if a living human baby comes out of its mother’s body, it was likely a living human baby for its entire existence.

Unfortunately, pro-abortion advocates have been successful in casting doubt on what it is that is inside a woman's womb. The absurdity of this condition is that people are now confused, and have been led to doubt that innate knowledge of good and evil. Many have some mystical notion, that a prenatal child is something akin to Jack’s magic beans; that at some unknown moment in time, poof… a blob of tissue becomes a human being.

Here we can clearly see the great lie that springs from those who have chosen evil over good. The content of a woman’s uterus has never been a magic bean. It has never been a puppy, a kitten, not even a gerbil. At conception, when the genetic materials from two human beings combine, a third human life is ignited.

I almost posted a photo of Eduardo’s one-time co-star, Jennifer Lopez, with similar advice to males of the species. But I could hardly find a modest photo, and it would be most inappropriate anyway, if she were to turn out to be pro-choice. Hollywood has more than its share of fluffy little liberals.

To my mind, the fact that Senator Brownback and Rep. Hunter attended and spoke at the pro-life march in D.C. shows that they are not only pro-life, but have the most passion for the pro-life cause.

And they also both supported fighting for Terri’s life at the debate.

[Sun]

I was listening to Jay Seculo’s radio show today, and he feels that because of the SCOTUS upholding the partial-birth abortion ban, that abortions will plummet, because tied in with that, will be a requirement that pregnant woman will see an ultrasound of their unborn baby. I think he said this will be a state by state decision.
