A federal subpoena wasn't enough

A federal subpoena wasn't enough for those who want Terri to die. Her feeding tube was removed today despite a Congressional Committee issuing subpoenas to both Michael and Terri in an interesting move to try to give Terri a chance.

If Terri were a murderer, she would be allowed due process before the state takes away her life. She would be allowed an attorney of her own, independent counsel from any concerned party. Her case would be reviewed at the federal level. She would be given a chance. Yes, if Terri were a cold blooded killer, she would have more rights than she does now because she is brain damaged.

If that doesn't sound right. If that doesn't seem to be what your perception of justice is, then maybe you can understand what this bill being considered in Congress is all about. It is about giving those who can not speak for themselves just as many rights as we already give our most heinous criminals.

It certainly does seem like Michael and his attorney, George Felos and, of course, Judge Greer are in such a hurry to end a life... Judge Greer ignored any request issued by Congress to delay any request issued by Department of Children and Families to investigate, he ignored any request for justice to be served for Terri. Ask yourself, please, why are they all so ready to advocate death?

As senator in the Florida Senate said today as he plead passionately for Terri's case:

"Here is $100 bill. If I were to crumple it up and throw it on the floor, If I were to wet and soil it, it would still be worth $100. Lives are like that. Some people's lives are crumpled and wrinkled and thrown away by others, some lives are soiled but they are all still worth it. Life is worth it."


What is Terri's life worth?
