Terri's family comments on Kathy Rivera's plight...

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

It's a wake-up call. That's what the Terri Schindler Schiavo Foundation says about a story you first saw Monday on CBS47.

The organization helped Janet Rivera's family find legal counsel after the Fresno County Public Guardian's office refused to give her food and water.

Rivera went about eleven days off life support and it wasn't until the family asked CBS47 for help and we began our investigation, that the county put back her feeding tube.

A judge ordered the county to restore her feeding tube and respirator, although the family says she was already breathing on her own.

They’re attorney, a man no stranger to these kinds of cases, Brian Chavez Ochoa, worked with the Schiavo family.

On Tuesday the family will appear in court to ask the judge to let Janet Rivera live and let them begin making her medical decisions.

But then again, Democrats continue to support abortion-on-demand which eliminates a huge pool of future Democrats. And they seem more inclined to support euthanasia -- certainly clamored for the removal of Terry Schiavo's tubes.

So I guess the Smart Car makes plenty of sense, if you are a Democrat.  Fortunately my nephew, even at the tender age of 16 seems headed for the Young Republicans.  That shouldn't stop the Smart Car people from proposing their unit as the official car of the Democratic Party:
