The Dawn Of A Sad New Day
This is from an AFA email sent to me:
"Now that the courts have ruled that a disabled person--Terri Schiavo--must die, who is the next disabled category to go? Those with Alzheimer's? Those with incurable cancer? Those who are paraplegic? Remember, Terri committed no crime. She signed no will stating her desire to be starved to death. How her injury occurred remains a mystery. She was on no ventilator. She was not brain dead. Her parents offered to take her home and care for her at no expense to anyone other than themselves. But her husband--the man who years ago abandoned her and moved in with another woman and had two children with that woman but refused to divorce Terri--said he wanted her dead. Strange, but he said nothing about Terri wanting to die until seven years into her disability. For the past 14 years he has denied Terri any therapy. Thirty allegations of abuse, neglect or exploitation were filed in court by the Florida Department of Children and Families. But the judges disregarded all that. Instead, they said Terri must die. Not in a humane manner, but by starvation."
It’s a sad day in our history.

hey Ed,
Yes i am as sure as I can be. Many other sources corraberate (sp) with what is stated by the American Family Association Email. I know that the main stream press is not telling the whole story here. And I believe many people would feel differently about this case given the facts. Lord help us all!
