Terri Schiavo. Her name — my sister’s name — is seared into the national memory as a face of the right-to-life movement, but it’s now been more than a decade since her death. Many are now too young to remember her witness, or they have forgotten. At the age of 26, Terri experienced a still-unexplained collapse while at home alone with Michael Schiavo, who subsequently became her guardian. After a short period of time, Michael lost interest in caring for his brain-injured but otherwise young and healthy wife. Terri was cognitively disabled, but she was not dying, and she did not suffer from any life-threatening disease. She was neither on machines nor “brain dead.” To the contrary, she was alert and interacted with friends and family — before Michael placed her in a nursing home and eventually petitioned the courts for permission to starve and dehydrate her to death. It was this decision by Michael that made my sister’s story a national story rather than simply a family story. It was this decision — to deprive my sister of food and water — that transformed our family’s struggle. Rather than trying to work with Michael to care for and rehabilitate Terri as aggressively as possible, we now were battling against Michael to fight for my sister’s life.

This is where America jumped the shark, IMO.
And Jeb did it personally.
The GOPe illustrated it’s monstrous inability to get the job done when it allowed the satanic scumbags of the LEFT to starve this woman to death.
The same GOPe is now engaged in trying to starve TRUMP to death.
This is WAR.
She passed through hell to inherit heaven. Enjoy your eternal abode Terri with your father up there too.
Thanks for reminding those younger, Morgana.
What does all that crap have to do with Terri, shill? She WASN'T in a vegetative state.
Unless you want them to kill you for a minor brain injury. Is that what you're saying? I thought not. Crawl away.
The day she died was one of the most shameful days in our history.
Now, go home and read your Bible!!!
Mar 5:25 And a certain woman had a flow of blood for twelve years, 26 and had suffered much from many physicians, and spent all that she had and was no better, but rather became worse.
As much as we have been indoctrinated to believe that all modern medicine is of God, it is not. The Bible says it is of the whore of Babylon. Christ died not only to take away our sins, but through His faith in us, He also heals all our sicknesses and diseases... that is the PROMISE of the Death, Burial & Ressurection in Isaiah 53 & reiterated by Christ in Mark chapter 5
Mar 5:34 And He said to her, Daughter, your belief has healed you. Go in peace, and be relieved from your affliction.
Stuff it.
She wasn’t in a vegetative state.
Your abuse of the bible in this matter is offensive.
A vegetative state is absence of responsiveness and awareness due to overwhelming dysfunction of the cerebral hemispheres, with sufficient sparing of the diencephalon and brain stem to preserve autonomic and motor reflexes and sleep-wake cycles. Patients may have complex reflexes, including eye movements, yawning, and involuntary movements to noxious stimuli, but show no awareness of self or environment. ... Treatment is mainly supportive. Prognosis for patients with persistent deficits is typically bleak.
And my use of the Bible is SPOT ON! From beginning to end, God says that it is He who heals us and I am living proof of His healing. So before you come back and tell me to stuff it again, you might just want to revisit His Word of healing.
Exo 15:26 And He said, "If you diligently obey the voice of YHWH your Elohim and do what is right in His eyes, and shall listen to His commands and shall guard all His laws, I shall bring on you none of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I YHWH, am your healer."
Psa 103:1 Bless YHWH, O my being, And all that is within me, Bless His set-apart Name! 2 Bless YHWH, O my being, And do not forget all His dealings, 3 Who forgives all your trangressions, Who heals all your diseases, 4 Who redeems your life from destruction,
And I should have added that , YES, she was in a vegetative state. And no matter how one tries to use emotions to deny this fact, it is a fact none the less.

No, she was not. What you are doing is utterly despicable. And claiming biblical authority for it is disgraceful.
Get thee behind me, viper.
Bobby has a way with words, and he puts his actions behind his words, by helping others who are in the same shoes as his family was.
God bless Terri, Bob, her deceased father, and the entire Schindler family. They endured what no family should have to endure.
Terri ping
Yes the Schindler family cried out for some ‘leader’ to help them save Terri from that awful death but the lawyers in black robes death loving tyrants conspired together and would not change course. Pox on them all. As for Jeb he did help Terri but he abandoned her at the very end-— too bad, he would have been a hero if he bravely stepped in and stopped her dehydrating to death.

I agree.
