Outside the hospice later, Pat Anderson again called for Michael Schiavo to remove himself from the case and let the Schindlers take care of their daughter, as they have offered to do.

"He's already moved on with his life," she said. "Just leave her alone."

Yes. Why won't he?

I just read on WND that the husband abducted her out of the hospital.

"The hysterical opposition to his case says so much more about us as a society," he said. "I think it says so much more about our fear of death than the sanctity of life." Felos

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!"

This AP retardo appears to be reporting, but it's really just reflexes. Doctors deny that he is conscious.

Husband Michael Schiavo's attorney angrily complained the woman was being mistreated by attempts to keep her alive, and legal scholars predicted that Bush's intervention would be ruled unconstitutional.

Though I value the Constitution and believe in its importance, in this case, I don't care! There are cases where law does not address every nuance of life. And just because we can't pidgeon-hole all of life's happenstance with some sort of legal application, this should not cause us to no longer use common sense. Kinda reminds me of this story ...

Luke 13 (NIV)

10 And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.

11 And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself.

12 And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.

13 And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.

14 And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.

15 The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?

16 And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?

17 And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.

"This particular administration has not yet understood why we have separation of powers," said former Florida Supreme Court Justice Gerald Kogan. "They seem to believe that the governor and the Legislature can do whatever they want and the courts should not interfere and that's not right."

Former Florida Supreme Court Chief Justice Gerald Kogan is on record as saying there is no difference between physician assisted death and refusing to undergo medical care.

He received an award from the ACLU (at a 1999 banquet----oh the irony) for his "bravery" in dissenting from other Fl St. Su Ct justices in a "right-to-be-killed-by-a-doctor" case.

Kogan currently heads the Alliance for Ethical Government, in Miami and has offices at his alma mater, the University of Miami. He is well-situated to influence the thinking of future lawyers.

He is against the death penalty, because someone who is incorrectly executed can not be brought back out of the grave.

PLEASE -- urgent -- NEED URL to pass on -- ?? thanks someone This confirms my concerns -- we have NO idea what is happening:

Felos said earlier that the woman was quietly dying after the tube was removed, that her heartbeat had become irregular and her kidneys were shutting down, and that it was "simply inhumane and barbaric to interrupt her death process."

I am willing to bet that this death process is continuing, and will be complete before we know it if there is no intervention.
