Terri Schiavo's mother Mary Schindler is like another Mary -- forced to watch her child die, a spiritual adviser to the Schindler family said on Tuesday.
Brother Paul O'Donnell spoke on Tuesday after a federal judge refused an emergency request to reinsert Terri's feeding and hydration tube.
"During this week, as we look to Good Friday, all Mary the mother of Christ could do was stand at her child's side. He was condemned by unjust courts, the same way Terri Schaivo is being condemned to die by court order.
"We pray that this modern-day crucifixion will not happen and we have faith that Terri will be liberated, and we are not giving up hope," O'Donnell added.
Terri's parents are described as devout Roman Catholics.
In comments outside the Pinellas Park, Fla., hospice, O'Donnell said what's happening inside is heart-breaking:
"Her own mother cannot offer her daughter an ice chip in her mouth to make her comfortable," he said. "Her own mother, in the United States of America, cannot go in and comfort her and prop pillows under her, or rub lotion to her body. Her own mother cannot be at her side without being watched by armed police officers -- in the United States of America."
Yes, it does. But it's too late, FR has gone over the top already. So at this point, I don't believe it matters. This will come back to haunt us. I promise.
I would caution everyone to think twice before posting, and consider that words once posted cannot be taken back.
And that goes for both sides, Hildy. People in the grip of anger often say words they regret. I hope to avoid doing that.
I would also point out that I have seen a lot of new people on the forums, stirring the pot.
You're only supposed to consider how this affects the GOP's future. If saving this woman's life will cost some votes, well, she'll just have to be collateral damage in the all important political wars. We must keep our prioties in order, don't you know.

If I wasn't witnessing this fanantical, emotional meltdown I would have never believed it possible.
For the first time in my life I have a glimpse of how so many people could be mislead by the AntiChrist when that time comes.
This is what happens when we have no big, pulsating (Clinton) targets.
Oh Deb...I'm so glad you're here.
Slap some sense into folks....ok?
Sigh...
There's too many of 'em, Baby...I need back-up!!! (They pinch too.)
What about the thousands of mothers around the world that may be watching their child die?
Don't they matter?
