Lord, I hope so.

Keep praying for a miracle, though.

If you think that the media isn't bent to the left, read the article referenced in the link. It is about the most glaring example of liberal bias I have ever read.

What an awesome day for the Schindlers. Continue to pray for Terri. Pray that goodness and truth prevail and God's will be done for Terri and her family.

He spent all this money on lawyers in an attempt to get to keep the money from a settlement. Talk about shooting himself in the foot!

I urge everyone here to write to Governor Bush to encourage him to keep fighting to save Terri Schiavo's life.

If you google for Governor Jeb Bush you will be brought to My Florida.com the web page of his government.

His email and postal addresses are there. I think it important that he hears from all of us.

God Bless and lets pray for Terri and the Schiavo family

I don't think it's up to Michael Schiavo to decide.

There are forces at work here that are much more powerful than one man. If they bow out now it's because they have knowledge that they cannot achieve their intended result through him - and I would attribute that to the prayers of the faithful. Alleluia!

Here is something to think about...

Cristopher Reeve, after his accident, required more machinery, equipment and assistance to keep him alive than Terri Schiavo needs.

No one ever suggested we "pull the plug" on him.

The following is from a news story about the condition of Yasser Arafat:************Shaath told a news conference the Palestinian leadership wanted to end rumors about Arafat's health. Media reports have speculated that he had either died or was brain dead. "His brain, his heart and his lungs are still functioning and he is alive," Shaath said, giving the first detailed account of Arafat's treatment since he was hospitalized in France. Arafat was on a respirator and was being fed intravenously, he said, emphasizing that intervening to end his life has never been considered. "These instruments are there, of course. He's also attached to monitoring equipment," Shaath said. "So he has lots of equipment there, but as I said, nobody has ever thought of shutting them off. "He will live or die depending on his body's ability to resist and ... the will of God," he said. ************Funny how that last sentence applies to Arafat but not to Terri Schiavo. I wonder if Michael and his lawyer and the judge read USA Today? God Bless America!

So, we have to ask the question, why do they want to end her life?

Is it mercy??? (For whom? Michael Schiavo ?)

We know the answer...

can anyone say "Convenience"?




Disgusting

I think her husband's attorney has grown discouraged about the chance for success since the trust fund that was paying him ran out.
