The trouble w/cases like Karen Weber is that people like George Felos come calling and he’s a hypnotist who dabbles in mind control. I’m serious. If he goes near Karen’s hubby, her life might be on the line.

Thank you for asking our pro-life friends to pray for Debbie!
And again thanks Daniel Allott.
According to Barack Obama, Gianna Jessen shouldn't exist.
Miss Jessen is an exquisite example of what antiabortion advocates call a "survivor." Well into her third trimester of pregnancy, Gianna's biological mother was injected with a saline solution intended to induce a chemical abortion at a Los Angeles County abortion center. Eighteen hours later, and precious minutes before the abortionist's arrival, Gianna emerged. Premature and with severe injuries that resulted in cerebral palsy. But alive.....

:o)
Gianna Jessen is one of the most amazing people in the world and ANYBODY who hears her story and remains pro-death is truly devoid of a soul.
Remember Terri Schiavo. Keep Lauren Richardson and Karen Weber in our prayers. Seems like the courts and death care system prefers to take away the rights of women more so than men. It gives new meaning to “suffragette”.
Governor Minner, please note: Please keep Lauren Richardson off death row.

"Mr. Weber is of the opinion that Karen does not want to live as a vegetable and that she would prefer the body to take its natural course," Mr. Cameron said.
"Mr. Weber did not contest the March injunction that kept his wife's feeding tube in place, Mr. Cameron noted. If the judge determines that Mrs. Weber has the capacity to make her own choices, Mr. Weber would abide by the decision.
"There is no intent at this point to fight what's going on," Mr. Cameron said.
Martha Tatro, Mrs. Weber's mother, objects to the removal of the feeding tube and has hired attorney Joseph Rodowicz to assist in her efforts to prevent it from happening. Both Mrs. Tatro and Mr. Rodowicz are adamant that Karen Weber is responsive and deserves a chance to live. Thus, a reason the judge has issued the injunction and appointed a committee to review Mrs. Weber's condition and make a determination and recommendation.
Mr. Weber may very well have the best of intentions and be under the belief that removal of a feeding tube is a quiet, natural and peaceful way to go. (Some in Florida preach such to be so.) However, one can hope that as he gathers further and more complete information, he will come to realize that the forced and agonizing death by dehydration and starvation should never be an option considered and therefore determine that it won't be.

WEST PALM BEACH, Florida, June 5, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Another Florida woman who receives food and hydration through a feeding tube, is at the center of a court case that is strongly reminiscent of the Terri Schiavo case.
Karen Weber, 57, was hospitalized after she suffered a stroke in December and receives food and hydration through a feeding tube. Her husband Raymond Weber has gone to court, over the wishes of her mother, to have the feeding tube removed so that she can be "allowed to die".
The Associated Press says that Raymond Weber argues his wife is in a "vegetative state" but his lawyer says that he does not want his situation "to turn into a Terri Schiavo-type circus". Attorney Colin Cameron said, "Mr. Weber is of the opinion that Karen does not want to live as a vegetable and that she would prefer the body to take its natural course".
In March, a judge ruled for Karen's mother, Martha Tatro, and ordered that Karen's feeding tube be maintained. The judge also appointed a committee to evaluate her condition.
Karen's family says they will "be defending Karen to the end". The family says that Karen communicates using body language and told her family she wanted to keep her feeding tube in March and April. Karen shows signs that she is conscious and alert.
The attorney for the Tatro family, Joseph Rodowicz, said, "I actually witnessed her moving her hands and responding. Based on that, my view of the law is that she's competent enough to make her own determinations, and she made it clear to me that she does not want to go to hospice."
Rodowicz said, "People wake up from comas. ... She's certainly not in a vegetative state."
Colin Cameron said that Mr. Weber is willing to wait for the outcome of the assessment of Karen's competency and did not challenge the court order. "There is no intent at this point to fight what's going on," AP quotes Cameron saying.
Alex Schadenberg, the chairman of the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition, decried this most recent "Schiavo-like" case, which he says is merely the latest in a growing list of such cases.
"The case of Terri Schiavo was a turning point in the history of the issue of euthanasia and assisted suicide," Schadenberg told LifeSiteNews.com. "While people grieved and mourned the death of Terri, the euthanasia lobby accomplished its goal of making sure that Terri died by dehydration.
"With all these horrific cases, the first case is always the greatest shock to the public. Now that the option of dehydrating a person to death is not only publicly known, but also supported by much of the medical community and upheld by the courts we are facing many more similar cases."
He concluded, "We can only hope that people everywhere will wake up to the horror of what euthanasia by dehydration entails and force lawmakers and ethicists to reverse the course of decisions and stop this horror from continuing."

The Alaska Supreme Court has granted a motion sought by an attorney working with the Alliance Defense Fund to keep life support systems operating for a patient who could die within minutes of those tubes being removed.
The little-reported case bears some similarities to the extended battle waged by the family of Terri Schiavo, on whom WND reported extensively, to prevent her death by starvation and dehydration....................

What if the Culture War is over and we’ve lost? What if it was lost a long time ago? What if it was lost long before the recent California Supreme Court decision, before the Terri Schiavo fiasco, and even before Roe vs. Wade?
What if the litany of abuses we’ve witnessed over the last decades are not the signs of progressively slipping morals but rather the natural consequence of morals having slipped once and for all? How we answer this question informs how we - especially those of us who are Christians - proceed. If we have in fact lost the culture war then we need to ask ourselves how we lost it and how we can rebuild to fight again, and this time be victorious.
Observers who know their history and understand human nature can see where things are going and know that the means by which liberal activists pursue their agenda can backfire on them. Today the gay “marriage” activists in California are pleased because they have got their way. It is entirely plausible, though, that a decade hence courts might employ the same tactic but in a manner the gays find disagreeable. Alas for them, it will be too late! Somehow, though, these activists - and many sympathetic Americans with them - can’t see that.................

You are perpetuating a scam.
"...those two particular CT slices, that I have seen released by the press as 'evidence,' resort to trickery... when someone resorts to image trickery to make one point, your B.S. meter starts to go off about everything else they claim to be true."

A mother who decided to abort her son because he may have inherited a life-threatening kidney condition is overjoyed that he survived the procedure. Jodie Percival of Nottinghamshire, England, said she and her fiancee made the decision to abort baby Finley when she was eight weeks pregnant. Percival's first son Thane died of multicystic dysplastic kidneys — which causes cysts to grow on the kidneys of an unborn baby — and her second child Lewis was born with serious kidney damage and currently has just one kidney, the Daily Mail reported.
