I have been thinking the past couple of days as this remarkable woman
fights so hard to stay alive (even though she really wants to die)
that the diabolical Judge Greer selected the date of March 18 to remove
Terri's feeding tube on purpose. That date was the day after Congress
was to recess for the Easter break. He did not know that Congress
would come back and vote on Palm Sunday or that Terri would survive
as long as she has. He also knew that the Florida legislature would be
taking an extended Easter break as well. He chose the date of March 18
to prevent these legislative bodies from intervening and to insure that she
would be dead before they would be in a position to do anything about it.

Although the law that was passed was not specific enough about
restoring the feeding tube to allow time for a de novo review of the
case (thanks largely to Senator Carl Levin) and the Federal Appeals
Court refused to apply the law the way Congress clearly intended, Terri
STILL LIVES! She is a very strong woman, bless her, who is not making
it easy for them to murder her before our very eyes.

She is telling us that she is being murdered.

BTW: I don't believe that anyone has a "right" to die.

Has there been a bill of goods sold to many in the public.

But I will get a "living" will. It will say, "do everything to keep me alive, confortable, and healthy as can be. Withdrawal of food and water is murder."
