Folks, this is a litany of abuse carried out through forced (even threat to anyone giving help to Terri) neglect ... yet Florida judges ignored it and in fact went even further, barring Florida's DCF from investigating the abuse by Michael Schiavo: "To understand the enormity of this decision, it is important to recognize that Terri was not comatose before the killing began, was not on a respirator, and was not unaware of her circumstances. She smiled faintly, she followed people and objects with her eyes, and according to the registered nurse who had cared for her, she succeeded in saying a few words. Nevertheless, Michael and the unjust judge made sure that Terri received the barest minimum of medical attention, no therapy such as assistance in learning to swallow, and, eventually, no food or water. Toward the end, the judge ordered that Terri not even be permitted to have ice chips placed in her mouth to moisten her parched tongue. She was confined to her room for five years with the shades drawn, could not be legally photographed or video taped, never received an MRI to determine the nature of her brain injury, and her parents were not even allowed to take her out in the warmth of the sun or to an outing at a mall."

"Judicial hostility to faith, and especially Christianity has never been greater than today."
scary stuff.
Some cases will always be remembered.
Marbury, Roe, Schiavo.
