Abuse, Neglect of Terri Schiavo Can't be Investigated, Judge Says by Steven Ertelt LifeNews.com Editor March 10, 2005 Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- The judge in the Terri Schiavo case has ruled that a Florida state agency can't investigate the thirty allegations of abuse and neglect it says have come at the hand of Terri's estranged Michael. The Florida Department of Children and Families hoped to delay Terri's starvation death for 60 days to look into the concerns. Circuit Court Judge George Greer claimed the request from DCF "appears to be brought for the purpose of circumventing the court's final judgment...

You are Terri Schiavo. You are lying in a bed, with your brain reduced to performing the most rudimentary functions. You wake up. You sleep. Sometimes you respond to basic stimuli. You make noises open to interpretation by the hopeful. You are awake but not awake. You died but are still alive. It is a cruel hoax played on those who love you. There are thousands of people who have been in a similar situation. They have had their feeding tubes pulled with no fanfare. But they did not have a husband who wanted to pull the tube and parents...

The current stay is in effect until Tuesday afternoon, when the Florida 2nd Court of Appeal is expected to finalize its decision against a claim by Terri's parents saying starving their daughter to death would violate her religious liberties. Once the mandate in that decision is...

Freepers, check out the settlement. It's in PDF form and I don't know what I'm doing. http://www.terrisfight.org

I know I'm going to get in "trouble" for this. You Freepers have your own ettiquitte and jargon that I haven't learned, but I want to clarify some issues that are important to Terri's Fight. I am only on Free Republic because of Terri. I'm FreepinforTerri, hence the name. I am Jacque from Texas. I am the lobbyist that flew to Florida last October and this past August to work on Terri's Fight. I know there are rumors going on about me and I think this is harmful for many reasons, not simply because it hurts my feelings. First of...

Please Let Terri Schiavo Go! By Dave Gibson (06/08/04) I recently received an email from the American Family Association, which once again told the painful story of Terri Schiavo. The AFA strongly urged me to contact Governor Jeb Bush (R-Fla.), and beg him to take more measures to see that Mrs. Schiavo continue to be kept alive. The AFA email also complained that in 1995, Terri's husband (Michael) began living with another woman and announced their engagement two years later...As if Mr. Schiavo's life is any of these people's business! They also went on to say of Michael Schiavo: "he...

Terri Schiavo has not had visitors in 24 days. Terri has also been held prisoner in a single hospice room, unable to go outside for 1,473 days. Seeing those numbers really hit home with me. So I called Governor Bush. I said, "Terri Schiavo has not had visitors in 24 days. She's been imprisoned in her room for 1,473 days. She's a prisoner and she's in danger. Have the Governor or DCF take guardianship of her." Tomorrow I will call the Governor's office again and say, "Terri Schiavo has not had visitors in 25 days. She's been imprisoned in her...

By full-time Terri Supporter David Kirkland of Pinellas Park, Florida. I recently read a Boston.com news article that left me with more evidence of the frightening, calculated assault on Live people, that not only occurs abroad, but right here in America In the article titled 'As some Dutch adapt to euthanasia, others stir up debate', Rob Jonquiere, a physician who runs a pro-euthanasia group, The Right to Die, Netherlands, said the lesson to be learned from the Schiavo case was that if she had filled out a right-to-die request form of the type that is freely available in the Netherlands,...

<p>BOSTON -- It wasn't the volume of mail that surprised me when I protested "Terri's Law." After all, the case of Terri Schiavo, a Florida woman back on a feeding tube, had been put before a national jury. The vast majority of my e-mailers seemed to believe that the few minutes of edited video represented the 24/7 reality of her last 13 years.</p>

Right-to-die: Murder or mercy ? EDITORIAL October 28, 2003 Most of us will never know the exact day or moment in which we'll die. We simply live our lives without regard for such things and enjoy the time that we are given. Unfortunately, for Terri Schiavo, her right-to-die and right-to-live are being debated in vicious court battles as her existence lies in limbo. The scenario being played out is simply this: Her husband wants her dead and her parents what her alive. Terri Schiavo has spent the last 13 years in a "persistent vegetative state" after suffering a heart attack...
