I will personally be glad when I no longer see Terri Schiavo threads on Free Republic. The issues surrounding this poor woman’s death have been debated ad nauseum. There is nothing left to be gained. Those who believe that it was appropriate to let her pass will never be convinced otherwise. Likewise for those who consider the removal of life support akin to murder. It’s time to let this woman rest in peace.
If you want to show your support for her life (which she's living right now and breathing and everything),
What is decent about harming people in wheelchairs?
Please private freepmail floriduh voter.
I guess the fact that the culture of death is still doing it doesn't bother you?
The irony is, I'm not aware of a SINGLE pro-life conservative who thinks we should just "move on."
You don’t seem to get the point. It’s Terri’s Legacy which is a mission to protect other disabled people. You don’t have to even read Terri threads because I have news for you. There will always be Terri threads at Free Republic as long as judges have the authority to kill disabled people who didn’t want to be starved and dehydrated to death. Terri was only 41. She had a right to live as much as you do.
wag, are you a troll magnet or what? I misplaced my can of troll be gone.
The death care system succeeded in 2005.
I am not sure she suffered.
My Dad refused all food and water when he learned that Mother had died.
If he showed any pain or suffering, I could not tell it.
I visited him until 10:00PM during which time we went over old photos. The next morning he was dead.
The evil in Terri Schiavo’s case was that the courts would not allow her family to take care of her as they desired.
Of course it was evil to kill a living person, but I doubt that she felt any pain.
Her family felt pain and plenty of it.
The court was evil. Her ex is evil beyond words.

If we do not wish to lose our freedom, we must learn to tolerate our
neighbor’s right to freedom even though he might express that freedom
in a manner we consider to be eccentric.
Bush does nothing. The child goes under once, then again and then diasppears under the water. Bush stands there.
The people that were on the other side of the lake have made their way around the lake and run up to Bush. They ask "why didn't you help that child? He died!"
Bush looks at the people then points to a sign next to the lake. The sign says "No Swimming". Bush looks at the crowd who is mostly in tears and says "I could not break the law!"
“Installing Randal Terry to be your personal spokesperson is counter productive at best.. or disturbing and twisted.”
Why do you say that?
bump for later
One thing that did come from this atleast for my family is we all sat down together and told each other how we wanted things to be if it were us in Terri’s position. I’m satisfied that with as many people in the room 2 being my sister’s that my wishes would be carried out and no one can arbitrarily kill me.
I disagree. Her life on earth is ended, but she is spending eternity in Heaven in the presence of Jesus. Her new heavenly body is perfect, unlike the one she left here on earth.
Your dad unfortunately chose that route and how do you know if he felt pain or not? Sorry you lost your parents but we aren't talking about deciding to deprive one's self. Terri suffered. It was barbaric. She was terrified because this was their 3rd or 4th try. She'd been denied basic needs before.
And for his loyalty to the party, Jeb Bush’s name is now mud by any and all lakes.
I say Terry took advantage of a grieving family....because he’s an opportunist.

(I was too exhausted to cry but those who wept had every reason to. What happened to Terri was an abomination.)

NEVER forget, so we can try to save OTHERS.
I have been there.
Your post tells me tha you have not.
I believe that if we are to learn anything from this, that it is necessary that comments should be factual and hysterical rants.
Based on the autopsy report, it is doubtful that she has the mental capacity to be terrified.
That does not relieve the jude or her ex husband from the judgment that they are the ultimate low life.
I simply say that facts will bring change. Hysterical rants will not.
