Life and death in southern Florida
Terminating Terri's life immoral

Some men cannot grasp the commitment involved in marriage. Californias Scott Peterson, for example, misunderstood the words till death do us part as a permission slip to murder his wife. Likewise, Michael Schiavo from Florida, ignoring the lines in sickness or in health, has opted against both fidelity and divorce in favor of court-sanctioned forced starvation for his wife.
Short of a miracle, be it left to God or to huge public outcry, the days of Terri Schindler-Schiavo are numbered. While the mainstream media wrongly presents Terris case as a minor ethical dilemma over death with dignity for a vegetable, evidence of her consciousness and severe spousal abuse by Michael Schiavo stays out of public perception.
The mainstream media keeps buying Michael Schiavos argument that Terri has been in a persistent vegetative state since suffering a brain injury following a fall in 1990. Florida state law defines PVS as the absence of voluntary action or cognitive behavior of any kind and an inability to communicate or interact purposefully with the environment. This definition does not reflect Terris condition.
etc...
It's been awhile since I last emailed them . Never got a reply.

My wife mentioned that too.
Thanks for the contact info. I went ahead and sent an email to them too.
I don't know, sorry. I've just been surfing blogs. The blog I linked in my last message (the one you responded to) has a good link for updates that seem to be somewhat reliable though. Take a look at it from time to time.
I don't understand. I did notice it wasn't signed, but isn't it on the Court's stationary? I don't have it in front of me right now.
I looked on Terri's site and it wasn't included with the motion sent by Terri's family attorney, so I would assume it is still valid.
Thanks for replying, I'll check it out!
Breaking....
Greta just said the way is clear now to remove the feeding tube. Did you here this?

Linda Vester just announced on breaking news.
[im shaking, weeping and praying]
Me too.
Lord Help us!
Dates sometimes have meaning. February 22nd could be one of those dates.
................................................
On February 22, 1931, Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ appeared to this simple nun, bringing with Him a wonderful message of Mercy for all mankind. Saint Faustina tells us in her diary under this date:
"In the evening, when I was in my cell, I became aware of the Lord
Jesus clothed in a white garment. One hand was raised in blessing,
the other was touching the garment at the breast. From the opening
of the garment at the breast there came forth two large rays, one
red and the other pale. In silence I gazed intently at the Lord;
my soul was overwhelmed with fear, but also with great joy. After
a while Jesus said to me, 'paint an image according to the pattern
you see, with the inscription: Jesus, I trust in You.'"
Some time later, Our Lord again spoke to her:
"The pale ray stands for the Water which makes souls righteous;
the red ray stands for the Blood which is the life of souls. These
two rays issued forth from the depths of My most tender Mercy at
that time when My agonizing Heart was opened by a lance on the
Cross....Fortunate is the one who will dwell in their shelter, for
the just hand of God shall not lay hold of him."
......................................................
Please recite the Divine Mercy Chaplet. I have a feeling it may help a lot. May the Lord's will be done.
I would like to share this email I received. I removed all the Fwd:Fwd:Fwd:Fwd:Fwd:'s.

[ THESE sites have plenty of sub-links you can peruse if you're interested in more info." ]
This is something we've been following for some TIME. It's been going on for YEARS !!
A young lady, who had a "questionable accident" in Florida is being fed small pieces of food and hydrated by a tube going directly to her stomach. She swallows her own saliva. She responds positively to visits from her parents with expressions and sounds. etc. BUT, her husband has forbidden ANY therapy for more than 15 YEARS !! During the same period, her "husband" has denied her mother and father and family and friends visitation privileges off and on - including, last year, MOTHER'S DAY ... during which period he suggested to the family, IN WRITING, that they "could go see her - IF THEY PAYED to do so !!
The SAME "husband", who has meanwhile fathered two children by another woman and has obtained and spent millions of dollars through "medical mal-practice suits" filed "on behalf" of his wife (Terri), claims that she, Ms. Terri Schiavo, told him once that she wouldn't want to be "kept alive" but has no documentation to support the claim. He NOW is poised to get what he wants from a Florida Judge (Greer) who has "sentenced" her to death by starvation/dehydration....( i.e. "pull the tube" ) [NOTE: Michael Schiavo, the "perp" here, has already obtained and executed similar "orders" on his own Mother and Father.]
THAT Judge HAS NEVER PERSONALLY visited with her to see that her eyes and expressions prove that she is responsive to stimuli.
Meanwhile, her parents are fighting with all they have just to give the "estranged husband" all the money, the property, etc. accumulated during the marriage with their daughter and let THEM assume care of her and he can "go his way".... He won't accept the terms... AND there is reason to believe that he may have been involved in the "accident" which left Ms. Terri Schiavo in the condition she's in.... but it has never been investigated !!
A basic tenent of interpreting the law is to avoid "absurd consequences". The court should review issues of statutory construction de novo, as it is for the court to decide what a statute means. The first rule in considering the meaning and effect of a statute is to construe it just as it reads, giving the words their ordinary and usually accepted meaning in common language; when the language of a statute is plain and unambiguous, there is no need to resort to rules of
statutory construction. But even if you do resort to the rules, the basic rule of statutory construction is to give effect to the intent of the legislating body; where the language of the statute is plain and unambiguous, the court should determine legislative intent from the ordinary meaning of the language used.The court should construe the statute so that no word is left void, superfluous, or insignificant; meaning and effect are given to every word in the statute if possible; the court should not, however, give statutes a literal interpretation if it leads to absurd consequences that are contrary to legislative intent.
In May of 1999, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Atonin Scalia, while defending morality's place in the law, said government should not be chosen on the basis of what's best for a person's faith. He stated the following: "Government is not meant to save souls but to protect life and property and serve the common good. Its responsibility is the here, not the hereafter."
NOW... IF in order to protect Ms. Schiavo's life, the Florida court (Greer) orders the taking of it..... Go figure. "Terri" could be any of us !!
ADDITIONALLY, IF [or "once"] they succeed in committing what is easily perceived by even an uneducated person of reasonable mind to be tantamount to "murder under color of law" [NOT to be confused with captial punishment after due process], the court (Greer) has ordered that she be IMMEDIATELY cremated and further that her family be PROHIBITED from erecting any memorial to her in the family cemetery... AND, during the trial, the testimony of all doctors, friends, and family members of Ms. Schiavo, was determined to be INADMISSABLE by the court (Greer).
"When they came for the French we said nothing, because we are not French, and when they came for the Polls, we said nothing because we are not Polish..... when they came for us, there was nobody left to say anything."
I don't understand the specifics either, but according to the website http://www.blogsforterri.com/ , it was prepared by the Schindler's lawyers in hopes that Greer would sign it. He did not.

The CORRECT question was never answered by Terri Schiavo. Would you want to be starved to death, Terri? Of course, she would have answered NO. Who wouldn't? Even animals will fight to keep from starving to death.
You are so right.
