He only took SAFE action. A daring man, a man driven by the Holy Spirit, would have found some quasi-legal pretext, however threadbare, to raid that hospice, rescue Terri, reinsert the tube, and give her the rehab that would have made her a thinking functioning person. All these quasi-conservatives and quasi-christians who are saying not to blame Jeb but to blame judges like Greer are no different from persons who are soaked by the rain, yet do not bother to open an umbrella.

Except of course half way through that he would have been kicked out of office, his actions reversed, and Terri would still die. His actions kept her alive for another two years and gave the Schindlers more opportunities, which were unfortunately wasted by their lawyer bringing effectively the exact same appeals over and over to the same judges who'd already rejected them.

Very much Agreed and well stated. Jeb was very well aware of the problem in October 2003. He should have had the DCF investigate and then taken her into protective custody.

Since he failed her then, once it became a crises, he should have led law enforcment to the hopice and taken her out of there. Instead he backed off and revealed his cowardice.

The blame lies with one person - Michael Shiavo.

What did the Holy Spirit lead you to do to save her? You didn't even sign up to shoot your mouth off until 3 days ago. If God wants you, he can find you. A little sheppard boy named David comes readily to mind. I'm not buying this crap about Jeb not being led by the Holy Spirit because he didn't take the illegal actions you've been blathering on about, post after post.

There is no rehab available anywhere in the world that would have enabled Terri to become "a thinking functioning person."
