OK, she was not on life support. The fact remains that a court ruled that she was in a persistent vegetative state and that she could be allowed to pass. The two sides of the family in this issue are the only people who have a vested interest in this case. It was their business. It wasn’t and isn’t yours or mine. The lady is gone. All of this zealotry from you Schiavonistas is not going to bring her back. Let the poor woman rest in peace. I am sure if you try you can find something else to give your life meaning.
I believe when a court rules on an issue, it isn’t murder.
I don’t support either. I have no opinion on whether or not it was right to let her pass. I am merely stating that it is done. It’s not our business. Move on.
Why are you still posting about it?
I am not a leftist. For the record, I am against abortion. This is not a case of an innocent baby that had no chance at life. This is a case of a woman who was unfortunately not coming out of her coma in the opinion of some, though this is disputed. That’s why a court had to decide. The court decided. Let it go already.
Why don’t you stop posting?
I don’t recall ever starving and dehydrating an innocent person to death. Therefore I couldn’t possibly be ashamed of something I had nothing to do with. my position isn’t whether it was right or not, but that what’s done is done, and that it wasn’t our business to begin with. I am against abortion, but if my neighbor has one, I am not going to get involved in her business.
We are committed to carry on the fight for ALL innocent life. Terri's murder was a defining event in the struggle against the culture of death. There IS NO MIDDLE GROUND, no compromises, no capitulation, NOTHING.
Perhaps the better question is why are YOU still posting about it, what is YOUR agenda. After all, Free Republic is a pro-life forum, Jim Robinson has expressly encouraged what we do in the fight for life.
Got it, the old, "I wouldn't kill my spouse, but I think it's wrong to suggest that others don't" theory.
It’s not our business. Move on.
Ah yes, "Move on," the NUMBER ONE FAVORITE leftist slogan. Perhaps YOU should move on. And as for it being "none of our business," Terri's FAMILY not only knows what we are doing, they encourage it. If the Schindlers EVER asked that we stop posting about Terri, these threads would come to an end.
And before you bring up Terri's adulterous "husband," I don't give a damn what he wants.
Maybe you should learn some FACTS. NOBODY, not even those who killed Terri suggested that she was in a coma.
Actions like these are of no motive to bring anything good to discussion, but to disrupt, to taunt, and to cause threads like this to contaminate.
Not only do you reflect a dumb and incredibly naive awareness of the facts, but by hurling at us only the leftist failed tactics, you establish yourself as far more than merely uninformed, but clearly as an affront to pro-life members of this FreeRepublic forum. I urge you to rewrap yourself in the same words you used against us and get off this section of the forum for good. In my estimation, you have established yourself as enough of a troll to warrant departing from FreeRepublic.
Please return to your usual haunts where your views may be welcome. If you don't understand that, try this. Go away! Let it go already...

I suggest you read the Bill of Rights.
Much of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, as well as most state laws have roots in English Common Law. Common Law has long held that a person can ONLY be put to death upon a grand jury indictment and then a conviction by a jury.
As Terri was never indicted or convicted by a jury (as she committed no crime), ANY judge lacked the constitutional authority to put Terri to death.
Of course you and your ilk think that ANYTHING a judge says is valid.
This means that you are PRO-ABORTION. Your statement echoes statements made by the Clintons, Obama, Kerry, Kennedy, Pelosi and EVERY OTHER pro-abortionist who "would never kill their own baby, but wouldn't dare tell someone else that they shouldn't."
I have a question that perhaps you can answer for me ... none so far have given a clear answer: Did Judge Greer have legal authority to issue a death sentence to terminate someone in Florida?
I addressed that in post 252, though I doubt the death culters would acknowledge the fact that judges are not infallible and do not have unlimited authority.
*******************
Isn't this pretty much the "pro-choice" position?
I have NEVER accepted the term “pro-choice,” neither the father nor the baby have any say in the matter. The term “choice” implies that both of the “choices” are morally equivalent, the abortionists would have us believe that this “choice” is as insignificant as going to a restaurant and “choosing” between steak and salmon.
********************
Yes. It trivializes and obscures the real issue.
Abortionists DESPISE the real issue because they know that there is no rational way to explain the systematic genocide of over 50 MILLION Americans.
****************
Yes. Abortion and euthanasia cannot be argued for on a rational basis. Those who try must deny their own thoughts and feelings if they wish to attempt to advance their case. It's impossible, really.
