JUDGE WHITTEMORE DENIES TERRI

NEWSMAX is reporting...

A federal judge ruled early Tuesday morning that a disabled Florida woman cannot have her feeding tube reinstalled.

Denying the request of Terri Schiavo's parents Robert and Mary Shindler, Judge James Whittemore's ruling means that Terri Schiavo will starve to death in a week to ten days unless congressional subpoenas issued on Friday are enforced or appeals are granted by higher courts.

This Judge just signed Terri's death warrant and sealed her fate!

Listeners weigh in...

Pat,

I agree that there is "reasonable doubt" in the Terri Schiavo's case, which began from Judge Greer to our Florida Supreme Court to the U.S. Supreme Court refusing to hear Terri's case.
Although, the general public's bias, ignorance regarding the disabled is appalling. As I am categorized legally blind/ though technically I am sight impaired/low vision. So, keep in mind, there are degrees of functional disability.

Finally, God, would not give us what we can not handle.

Dale,

Avid Listener!!!

My condolences to every member of life loving society that is grieving at this moment over the injustices that has been brought upon Terri Schiavo. My heart is so burdened by not only this outrageous decision (or lack there of) by this so called federal judge (where is his wisdom of Solomon ?) but also our society as a whole that has the majority of people who believe in selective life..........abortions of innocent babies are accepted because they are perceived to be a burden as well as disabled people who should not be allowed to live because of the 'quality of life' that we have become experts in determining. We, who cannot create anything from nothing, have decided we are the supreme judges of what is life. We, who have made breakthrough discoveries and proclaim to the world of our abilities to clone life.......have decided that we can chose who is worthy of our society. God, in his wisdom, has given us the knowledge to open up the mysteries of life, has given us talented doctors and scientists who can now cure diseases such as polio, and TB and numerous other life takers, who have added years to our lives through technology, but who scoff at the possibility that a severely brain damaged person could possibly be a BLESSING to someone in this world.....maybe an inspiration to others in their infirmary.......well, unless it is a Christopher Reeves, or a Stephen Hawkins, who sayTHEYshould have life because they have intelligence. I believe only GOD knows who has intelligence and we might be surprised at what God really considers to be of more importance, intelligence or the soul of mankind. Remember, in Proverbs, God speaks about confounding those who think they so full of themselves because of their intelligence. God will not judge us by 'intelligence', but by our souls........
I believe that God can use us all to be a blessing, and Terri who is obviously a 'burden' to her husband, is ironically a blessing to her family. Sadly though, the courts do not believe in blessings.....they do not believe in giving life or human rights to the disadvantaged unless you are a convicted murder or a manatee or any of the thousands of protected insects and plants.
I am so sick of all the pseudo intellects of this world including half of my neighbors, fellow employees, and even some relatives that have reached the conclusion that life is not good unless we 'have it all'. Michael Schiavo will meet his maker, of this I am confident, and I dont necessarily mean GOD.
Sorry, Pat, needed to vent.

HI PAT, IM IN FLORIDA AS OF NOW, IM FROM CLEVELAND, OHIO
MY MOM HAS A HOME DOWN HERE IN THE LAKELAND AREA
WHICH SHE JUST SOLD.
IM REALLY DISGUSTED WITH THESE PEOPLE WHO THINK AND WANT TERRY TO DIE...I
DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THEIR PROBLEM IS.
THE JUDGE RULES FOR HER HUSBAND WHO LOOKS LIKE HE'S ON SOMETHING... THE JUDGE
SAID REMOVE THE FEEDING TUBE,BECAUSE NUTCASE SAID THAT TERRY SAID SHE
WOULD'NT WANT TO BE KEPT ALIVE ARTIFICIALY.
OK FINE REMOVE THE TUBE,IT;S REPORTED THAT SHE CAN SWALLOW HER OWN SALIVA, SO
IF SHE CAN DO THAT THEN MAYBE SHE CAN TAKE SOME LITE NOURISHMENT BY MOUTH.
OH MY GOD WE CAN'T HAVE THAT,SO THEN THIS CRAZY JUDGE
WHO WANTS TO PLAY GOD,ISSUES ANOTHER ORDER
TERRY SHALL NOT BE GIVEN ANY FOOD OR WATER BY MOUTH
I WANT HER TO DIE...
SOMETHING IS WRONG HERE WHO THE HELL IS HE TO ISSUE A DEATH WARRANT FOR THE
EXECUTION OF TERRY.
WHY IS IT THAT NO ONE IS SEEING THIS.
HER NUTCASE HUSBAND HAS PROBALY PAID OFF THIS JUDGE.
THERE IS NO LIVING WILL,TERRY HAS RIGHTS.
HER PARENTS WANT TO TAKE HER HOME AND CARE FOR HER
WHY IS THIS A PROBLEM?
I WANT THIS JERK JUDGE TO COME OUT AND EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT A PERSISTENT
VEGETATIVE STATE IS IN HIS WORDS AND THEN THE MEDICAL TERM...
THIS IS A LIVING BREATHING FEELING PERSON WHO IS ABOUT TO BE SLOWLY
EXECUTED, "TORTURED TO DEATH BY THE STATE OF FLORIDA"... I AM SO GLAD AND THANK GOD
THAT MY MOM HAS SOLD HER HOME AND IS MOVING BACK TO OHIO
WHERE ITS NORMAL.
I WOULD HATE TO SEE WHAT MIKEY HAS PLANNED FOR HIS
ADULTERER AND THE 2 BASTARD CHILDREN HE FATHERED.
IS HE PAYING CHILD SUPPORT? DOES HE HAVE ANY UNPAID TICKETS,BACK TAXES, TAX
FRAUD.
HOW ABOUT THIS JUDGE, LETS SEE THIS JUDGE REMOVED
IMMEDIATELY,IF HE WAS APPOINTED THEN WHY NOT REMOVE HIM AND PUT HIM IN THE
UNEMPLOYMENT LINE.
I THINK THE FBI SHOULD START AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS JUDGE,AS WELL AS
MIKEY AND HIS ENTIRE FAMILY.
SHOULD THEY ALL LET TERRY DIE,SHOULD THEY ALL KILL HER
THEN NOT ONLY WILL THAT EFFECT THEM AND FLORIDA
BUT THE ENTIRE COUNTRY.
THE SECURITY GUARDS AT THE HOSPICE CAN'T STOP THOUSANDS OF PEPOLE FROM GOING
IN AT THE SAME TIME TO GIVE TERRY FOOD AND WATER.
EVEN A CONDEMNED PRISONER GETS A LAST MEAL.
PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT THE PROBLEM IS.

THANK YOU JACOB

Good morning Pat,

I just awoke. I heard Terri took another hit in court. I am not sure if anyone has addressed this: Why is Terri required, by law, to produce a piece of paper to prove she wants to live, but word of mouth is all which is required to kill her? Didn't the NSP prior to WW II perform "euthanasia"?
Great show.
Prayers for the defenseless. Eric in Deltona.

Pat,
Get a grip on your emotions. Allow callers who disagree the chance to speak. Get from behind the bully pulpit and listen to other's views.
************************************************************************************
Pat,
I don't know if this has been brought up before, but Terri produces saliva and unless she could swallow, she would choke when it went down her throat. I don't believe they have been using the apparatus that is used during dental procedures to remove the extra saliva. Would love to hear your comments on this.

Pat,

There is a special place in hell for everyone who has a part in killing this young woman. I'm so saddened by this recent news of the judge refusing to reinsert her feeding tube. All we can do is pray, Pat.

Pat,
Have you heard of Joni Eareckson Tada? She has been paralyzed from the shoulders down for more than 30 years. She broke her neck by diving in too shallow of water at a beach. She is well known in the Christian circle and has a web site, http://www.joniandfriends.org/. You should get her to talk on your show!

Sincerely,

Jack

Pat,


I have wanted to call you but with work have no chance. The problem I have with this whole thing is that Terri is not brain dead. If she was, her brain would not be able to communicate with her organs to function. All she needs is to be fed. We would not leave a baby there to starve to death. A baby can not feed itself and someone who does not feed their baby would be arrested. That is the condition Terri is in now. She is a baby and needs help. I know with therapy she could get better. My brother in law was in a severe car accident Nov 2002. The doctor said he only had 2% chance to living. He was in a coma for 6 months. When he woke up he was in the state that Terri is in. We never gave up on him. Now after two years of therapy he is able to walk, talk, eat, and has started classes in college. Because of our love and therapy he was able to improve. He had to learn everything over but it can be done.

There is no reason that Terri can't do the same. Her husband had all this time to help her and he has done nothing. He doesn't love her. If he did he would not be living with another woman. You are to stand beside your spouse through all. In my opinion, All this is is Murder!!

Thanks for you time Pat

Andrew

Hi Pat, I've been following this case both on your morning show and in the tv and newspapers. Removing her feed tube is nothing less than court approved murder as I see it. Her heart is pumping, she can breathe on her own so she certainly can't be brain dead. The saddest thing is she is as much a victim of a political circus as a victim of her husband's wanting to be rid of her. If he really cared for her, he'd have turned her care and maintainence over to her parents long ago and got on with his own life instead of wanting to play God and end her life. God alone is the author of life and death. It's long past time to leave things in His almighty hands. Admittedly none of us would want to live like she is living but the physical and mental state we are to live in is not always our personal choice. Pat, keep up the good work of keeping us aware of all that is going on and of confronting us with our own standards as we weigh these important issues. Colleen

I just thought of something. The Nazis wern't killing anybody, the people in the concentration camps died peacfully with out pain. They just went to sleep because of no food or water. Eating and breathing and drinking are primative instincts that are hard wired into our natural wanting to survive. Why don't the libs have the (Balls) to take Terri out now. Why the wait. If she hangs on for more than 2 weeks there will be hell to pay. Just wait and see. This case has will seal the Democrats demise.

Thanks Archie

Here is Deacon Keith's poignant piece, written earlier today.
The Rule of Law they cried...while Terri Died
By Deacon Keith Fournier

The eyes of the world watched,
As one more judge ruled for death over life

The Rule of Law they cried...while Terri Died

Who is this one who cannot speak?
She is a vegetable, of no use in this world of power and utility

The Rule of Law they cried...while Terri Died

Forget the smile; it has no productive value, disregard the mothers'
plea, misguided sentiment

The Rule of Law they cried...while Terri Died

The one on the bench, the blind guide leading the blind, has the
power now in this brave new world unanchored from truth; his word
is the sword

The Rule of Law they cried...while Terri Died

All this talk of religion and solidarity be damned,
let the one who cast the bride aside decide
The Rule of Law they cried...while Terri Died

The triumph of the Will ascends, the meek and the weak shudder,
the reign of lawlessness begins

The Rule of Law they cried...while Terri Died
************************************************************************************
Hi Pat,

I heard on your show this morning two things very disturbing to me:

1)Terri can swallow her own saliva yet her parents are ordered not to even try feeding her by mouth? What happened to discontinuing “life support” tubes? This has turned in to plain and simple murder of a handicapped woman.

2) Michael says on Larry King that “he didn’t know what Terri wanted but that this is what “we” want.” Who is “we” and why isn’t this all over the place? He spilled his beans.

My heart is aching for Terri and her family. The family needs to go on every station possible and tell everyone that they aren’t even allowed to TRY and feed her. I had no idea and I was appalled.

Donna
