Spelling of the Judge’s name corrected.

From Anchoress:

So, Michael Schiavo says he doens’t KNOW what Terri wants…
Seems Michael told Larry King that he doesn’t know what Terri wants, but knows what he wants.

Via Reuters:

Today, I signed into law a bill that will allow federal courts to hear a claim by or on behalf of Terri Schiavo for violation of her rights relating to the withholding or withdrawal of food, fluids, or medical treatment necessary to sustain her life. In cases like this one, where there are serious questions and substantial doubts, our society, our laws, and our courts should have a presumption in favor of life. This presumption is especially critical for those like Terri Schiavo who live at the mercy of others.

The bill passed and is on it’s way to the President for signature. More as I get it.

Final Vote 203-58.

UPDATE: Via Fox – W signed the bill.

Terri’s received a repreive for now. Judge Greer is unlocateable, to deal with the subpoenas, so another Judge has “stayed” the order again. Via Fox News.

Dear Lord,

Please let Your will be done for Terri Schindler-Schiavo. Please aid those who would help her and hinder those who would harm her.

Amen

ACTION ITEM NEEDED NOW:
This item is extremely important with how it is handled.
Please call and email Governor Bush with one item only.
Subject Line:
Terri’s tube MUST NOT be removed surgically on Friday. Her feeding tube can be safely capped off while the investigations are underway.

It is invasive and risky to have Terri surgically undergo removal of the feeding tube when the same results can be achieved by placing a cap at the end of the tube. Feeding tube must NOT be surgically removed.
Governor…please take ACTION to stop the surgical removal of Terri’s feeding tube NOW!

Captain’s Quarters has the story on the 5 month old child in Texas who was euthanized against his mother’s express wishes. Part of their reasoning was that the mother said the baby’s father was “the sun in the sky”. The child had an extreme form of dwarfism that when it is fatal, usually causes the death of the child neo-natally, that is within hours or days of birth. This child was 5 months old, to me that is far past neo-natal. There is another case in the system, where a wife is fighting desperately for her husband’s life. The hospital wants to end support.

Today is Eat an Animal for PETA day. Last night we had some lovely lamb chops. I sprinkle them with garlic and oregano and olive oil and bake at 350 Fahrenheit until done. Served with green beans.

This has not only ground beef, but eggs, cheese and milk! I often add a can of diced tomatoes to the onion/burger mix. I also don’t add the teaspoon of salt. I use an 8″ x 8″ x 2″ glass cake pan and grease it with some olive oil.

Enjoy!
