Just heard on Fox that U.S. Senate will convene today in emergency session regarding Terri Schiavo.
They're now blathering about saving our precious resources for themselves.
Do you think that this whole controversy about whether or not to starve Terry Schiavo to death has two sides that are roughly equivalent to the sides taken over abortion? It seems like it's the abortion enthusiasts who want to see Terri slowly, grotesquely killed by starvation and the pro-lifers who want to see Terry protected. (Okay - - duh! OF COURSE pro-lifers want to see Terri protected.)
Yes. I agree. I am not being critical of them; I just want them to do something ASAP.
He did for two years. Then he stopped.

I don't know if "removing the feeding tube" is alone technically killing her, but removing the feeding tube AND imposing an order that she not be fed or hydrated by mouth, taken together, certainly ARE "killing her."
When the Supreme Court "passed" the law that no one under 18 can be put to death, it sure became retroactive.
You recall correctly. That's exactly what happened. Another example of judicial tyranny.
Any idea if this will be covered on C-Span?
Don't forget Mrs. Felos, Nutcase, Esq.:

Seems to me, it's long overdue for that.
If he was interested in her WELFARE, he would have insisted on a brain scan immediately.
That he did not strikes me as exceedingly suspicious on top of everything else.
perhaps better news for you ........... ping
Yes. I'm guessing that either they fear some specific threat to the "right" to abortion arising from this case, or they just want to spite pro-lifers.
Sure looks that way.
I bet the therapy was half-assed at best if Michael was in charge of paying for it because the plan never really was to keep her alive...
FL abolished/ended common law marriage in 1974.
It would require the parties to come to an accomodation which would have allowed him to leave and her to be turned over to the parents. The problem is that as husband the law gives him the presumption. As an ex husband he would have an ex wife alive "somewhere". He has an interest in being a widower vs an ex-husband.
The other problem in the case is you have to have lawyers who are willing to reach agreement. Felos gives the impresson of being an absolutist. (ala kevorkian) As an attorney he is not interested in reaching agreement between the parties, he is only interested in setting a precident. (Remember this is senior rich area where family members would have a financial interest in mercy killing which is packaged as right to die.)
"Where are all the noisy Democrats who recently took to the Senate floor blathering about saving the lives of carribou in Alaska??"
Or the prisoner (terrorist) abuse at Gitmo? Or the prisoner (terrorist) abuse at Abu Gharib?
I expect all the death penalty opponents will be joining us to save Terri.
And these kind-hearted Florida folks
