This case wouldn't bother her so much UNLESS SHE WAS PERSONALLY INVESTED in it. Her obsession with Terri's death/murder has to do with her ailing husband. All the players are so transparent.
How ironic that she should earn her retirement by shortening her customers' retirement years. No doubt the hospice business has all sorts of ways to "retire" their former patients' savings, too.
How ironic that Labyak should get to retire at all.
With Terri and the Pope lingering and stealing all the news headlines, it must have been part of the strategy to send in the clowns/jugglers.
One of my creepiest moments was when Debra Bushnell (death lawyer) pulled into the parking lot and positioned herself at the front door of the Hospice and surveyed the crowd.
Meaner than Felos but not as diabolical imo. But, Bushnell did introduce Mikey to Felos which is why Terri's no longer with us.
Stealing seniors' savings is by far the more important purpose of the right-to-die movement. They don't really care much if the old folks are alive or dead. It's all a matter of getting at their lifetime savings and property. The easiest way is to bump them off. Then they officiously turn the deceased clients' money over to lawyers, judges and trust departments who, of course, keep it (or a lot of it). And that takes care of that.
It's graverobbing, but they don't have to go to the bother of digging up the grave.
We can't really know whether he will or won't. I'd like to believe he might yet repent, might tell the story. He's the only one who knows the whole truth of what happened to Terri. He will never be forgotten in this world or forgiven in the next unless he confesses the truth.
The graphic in this USA Today story is bylined Suzy Parker. I knew Suzy -- but as a writer, not an artist. She worked on the Clinton / tainted blood story out of Arkansas, for SALON and maybe other magazines. She did very well with it.
Out of all the so-called near-death experiences, I have heard of only one who came back from Hell. It was a man, not a woman, so a different case from the one you mention. The details were never clear, but the gist of it was haunting. People kept asking him what it was like. They'd ask him, "Well, was it like this, or this?" But no matter what they asked, he replied, "No, worse than that. Much worse than that..."
Could you post the dates for those seminars? Or did you make them up? It's getting more and more difficult to tell.
As I recall, he prayed, and recited the 23rd Psalm. I always thought, once you're dead, it's too late for that. Maybe not.
I know there is still time for Terri's murderers to repent. I doubt it will happen.
The ones in #513 were sheer spoof. Otherwise, the Death Cult gatherings have all been covered here. The one mentioned today (#508) featured Mary Labyak. I think she, Michael Schiavo, George Greer, Ronald Cranford, Arthur Caplan and Jay Wolfson all addressed the Death Festival at U. of Penn a few weeks ago. Iow, the gang was all there, rubbing shoulders and dispelling any notion that they were unbiased. Felos and Bushnell were the only ones absent. Dr. Cranford proved his bonafides by going room temperature shortly afterward, and is not missed. In addition, our heroes, especially Greer and Homicidal Mikey, have appeared at various banquets to be given awards for their courage in torturing a helpless disabled woman to death.
I doubt it too, but I hope I'm wrong. There is no time left for Dr. Cranford. He died unrepentant. He obviously knew he was dying, so he had a chance to ask forgiveness. But he did not seize it. That's sad.
"A new CNN poll has bad news for Hillary Clinton--along with Al Gore, John Kerry and Jeb Bush. The survey gauges opinion of six potential 2008 presidential candidates, and here is the percentage that say they will "definitely not vote for" each:
"Rudy Giuliani 30%
"John McCain 34%
"Hillary Clinton 47%
"John Kerry 47%
"Al Gore 48%
"Jeb Bush 63%"
That's an extraordinary negative for Jeb, isn't it? Pretty obviously his weakness and flip-flopping got everybody mad, the death-bots and Terri supporters alike.
Politics does make strange bedfellows. The Democratic activists overlook their criticism of the church’s social conservatism. But if liberals embraced the entirety of the church’s influence, the American political landscape would be much different. Feminists would not take to the streets to tell the clergy to get their “rosary beads off my uterus.” Liberal lawmakers would have praised Catholics who spoke out against the death-by-starvation of Terri Schiavo. Senate Democrats would not question how the Catholic faith of Supreme Court nominees John Roberts and Sam Alito might affect their judicial decisions. The left-leaning media wouldn’t defend pro-abortion Catholics when they were denied communion by Catholic bishops for breaking with Catholic doctrine on abortion. But we know better. Liberals will support the church when it’s only politically convenient.
This is a marriage of political convenience for the church as well. Liberal leaders and Catholic bishops are seeing their flocks dwindle and immigration presents an unprecedented recruiting opportunity. The church is looking for new members. The Democratic Party needs new voters, proven by its lack of electoral success since 1994.

The opening keynote was given by Judge Stanley Birch, of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, who is most well known for his decision in the Schiavo case. Judge Birch stressed the need for judicial independence. Other notable speakers included general counsels Teri McClure of UPS, Joaquin Carbonell of Cingular, and Javade Chaudhri of Sempra Energy, who spoke to a packed audience on the diversity practices of their companies, especially in the area of legal services.
Like Prof. Katyal and Ms. Khatri, other South Asian attorneys are clearly “influencing the network.” Hoping to extend that influence into the public arena is Shyam Reddy, a corporate lawyer at Atlanta-based Kilpatrick Stockton LLP, who is a candidate for Georgia Secretary of State; Neera Walsh, an attorney in the Cook County, Illinois, State Attorneys office; Rohit Kirpalani, general counsel at Atlanta-based CompuCredit Corporation; and Monica Desai, a bureau chief at the Federal Communications Commission.

Gov. John Lynch signed legislation yesterday that makes end-of-life care decisions easier in New Hampshire.
"The bill is going to make it easier for people to plan for and make known their end-of-life decisions,"said his press secretary, Pam Walsh.
The new law updates state laws on advance directives, which include living wills and durable powers of attorney for health care. The law takes effect Jan. 1.

Protection from making unpopular decisions is one thing, but being aware and heeding "the will of the people" in following our constitutional provisions first and foremost is why they are there, and those rulings are not so difficult since our constitution is very clear, short and to the point in most of the recent unpopular decisions which have been vehemently protested (both the Teri Schiavo matter and Kelo, both major abridges of the constitutional in the value and sanctity of "life" be it a "newborn disabled child" or a "breathing yet severely impaired" adult, no one has a right to take a life that is not being kept "alive" by machines. That judge committed "murder," in the name of the law, and soon it will be the insurance companies that determine who lives and dies in this country, or spouses such as Mr. Schiavo, whose main concern was getting on with his new life, and the insurance proceeds he would be gaining in the process.

Advocates for assisted suicide know that when their agenda is described accurately and descriptively--they lose. So, they are ever about the task of trying to come up with new gooey euphemisms to describe assisted suicide--to be, if you will, the sugar that helps the hemlock go down. - more from Wesley J. Smith

I'm sorry, but we have a bad situation here. To publish these leads is to solicit paid subscriptions to NCG. I believe that is against Free Republic rules. Am I getting that right?
Which border did Jesus sneak across, senator? I must have missed that.
