Great letter, Sun.
Some people seem to think it is an abuse of power when the government steps in to save someon’e life.
That is the purpose of gov’t.
I read the documents and looked at the xrays, and listened to the nurse’s who testified that Teri was making progress, and the creep, after he got the money, did nothing but prevent her from getting further treatment.
Everything, from her initial suspicious “collapse,” to the missing xrays that showed long-term physical abuse, with bones in various healing stages, to her friend’s testimony thatTeri planned to leave her “husband” the week after she collapsed,to the judge, nursing home, and attorney collusion,the entire case screamed for objective justice.
But, she did not get it. Too many people saw their own life decisions reflected in the case, and did not like the image.
Each one of us may, someday, be in Terri’s position. If we do not assert the necessity of defending all innocent human life, why should we expect anyone to defend us?
By the way, which of the presidential candidates, besides Hunter and Brownback, have attended the March for Life?
As anyone on the east coast knows, anyone who is prolife, and lives near DC , attends the March For Life.
I delved in Terri’s case, too, and called Jeb Bush, Charlie Crist, et all over and over, and some people on this thread who lived in Florida, demonstrated over and over at the hospice to save Terri. I’m proud to know these warriers for life!
One of the warriers for Terri, who fought for her life, T’wit, just passed away, and if you haven’t heard about it, I’ll send you the link. We feel so sad about his death.
Regarding Terri’s care, according to Cindy Shook, Michael’s girlfriend 1 1/2 years after Terri was hurt, Michael Schiavo said:
“How the hell should I know we never spoke about this, my God I was only 25 years old. How the hell should I know? We were young. We never spoke of this.”
Brownback and Hunter were the only presidential candidates to attend the pro-life march, but it is possible that some of the others had conflicts of interest that day.
btw, Rep. Mike Pence and other Republicans attended, as well, who were not presidential nominees.
