Terry Schiavo — Page 18

Good God, now Jerry Falwell is in the hospital in critical condition. And the Pope has been taken back to the hospital, where they think they might have to insert a (drumrolllll) FEEDING TUBE.

Can you imagine the firestorm that will ensue if Schiavo, Falwell, and the Pope all expire on the same day -- or even in the same week or month? PERFECT for the fundies.

But I'll say this: Lord, spare Terri and take Falwell. I'd be willing to live with that, yo. I hope Falwell comes back to earth as a big ol' mo.

Broadwaylady your are entitled to your opinion...but as far as "no compassion or sense of decency"...:

Partial transcript of comments from the Thursday, September 13, 2001 edition of the '700 Club.' regarding the WTC:

JERRY FALWELL: "And, I know that I'll hear from them for this. But, throwing God out successfully with the help of the federal court system, throwing God out of the public square, out of the schools. The abortionists have got to bear some burden for this because God will not be mocked. And when we destroy 40 million little innocent babies, we make God mad. I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People For the American Way--all of them who have tried to secularize America--I point the finger in their face and say 'you helped this happen.'"

I won't be a hypocrite....the man is a Pharisee.

The truly disgusting thing is Jerry Falwell!

Ill will is ugly and useless. May Jerry Fallwell live, thrive, and keep saying incendiary things to remind us of the dark underbelly of the so-called "culture of life" movement perpetuated by fundamentalists. Let's pray for him, folks. He's a poster boy for a threatening presence.

I heard a compelling case put forth by a Catholic woman today, who said Terri Schiavo really died 15 years ago, and was resusitated. And pointed out specific things in the catechism ("27.7" I beleve)that easily support the removal of feeding tubes. The argument that the treatment afforded Schiavo is in conflict with church doctrine is specious. Everyone throwing around words like "starvation" should be ashamed.

What I love is the tonal difference in the reporting. On Fox, big shock, the banner is always "Terri's Fight." No bias there, no?

WCA - that is so sad for that poor kid.

Then the kid should be home being home schooled and learn to keep his snotty nose out of other people's private matters.

So this would be a field trip of some sort?

Maybe his home schooling parents might want to instruct him of the approximate locations of Alaska and Hawaii to the continental United States?

She just died, bwaysinger.

ah. I guess it will take awhile for the online sites to update with the latest information. The shame is, that while this is now over for Terri, I think the real "fun" is just beginning.

If nothing else, I believe her situation has prompted an important dialogue. I know that in my own family it's an issue that has been raised again. And, I have made my wishes known to friends, as well.

Perhaps something good can come out of all of this.

Gothampc said "Many parents today are home schooling their children. They got tired of the liberal agenda that schools were passing off as education."

It would be a shame that their little kiddies might have to hear about the science of evolution over the pretty myths of Genisis.

Rest In Peace Terry - I'm sorry the Christian Taliban took away your dignity.

They are reporting that Bush is going to comment on her death at 11:40am.

I honestly believe he should not.

Her death belongs to her family.
