As an American I am outraged. As a father of two young children I am heartbroken. Terry Schiavo, a woman who has done nothing wrong, has been sentenced to death by the American Judicial system. Her parents and siblings are forced to watch as she will be starved to death. They can do nothing but watch her die. Virtually every American controversy has two valid sides where well-informed people of good faith can disagree. The murder of Terri Schiavo is an exception to this rule. No person of good will could look at the facts of this case and come...

God made the world or he didn't. God made you or he didn't. .... Our children have been reared in the age of abortion, and are coming of age in a time when seemingly respectable people are enthusiastic for euthanasia. It cannot be good for our children, and the world they will make, that they are given this new lesson that human life is not precious, not touched by the divine, not of infinite value. Once you "know" that--that human life is not so special after all--then everything is possible, and none of it is good. When a society comes...

The spiritual advisor of the Schindlers, Bro. O'Donnell, said the Dept. of Children and Families has had a new physician examine Terri and that "he DID go into her room and WAS at her side and DID observe her."

Brother...

. NEVER FORGET TERRI can breath unassisted. TERRI can eat food thru her mouth, food that MICHAEL has been stopping her from having for years. TERRI can SPEAK. TERRI is NOT the Living Dead. TERRI is capable of being re-hab'ed. TERRI rehabilitation that her "Husband" MICHAEL has been preventing for years as he continues to make babies with his lover. The Pittsburgh Post Gazette quotes one of TERRI's nurses saying in a Court Affidavid that: "TERRI spoke on a regular basis, sayng such things as 'Mommy' and 'help me.'" When she put a washcloth in TERRI's hand to keep her...

On Fox News Channel, Martha McCallum just announced that Florida governor Jeb Bush will make a statement on the Terri Schiavo case at 3 PM EST.

Sen. Bill Frist watched a videotape last week of Terri Schiavo made by her parents in 2001. He did this in his capacity as Senate majority leader and as a renowned physician. In both roles he performed miserably. As a senator, he showed himself to be an unscrupulous opportunist. As a physician, he was guilty of practicing medicine without a brain.
