Question re a certain hospice
I wonder if anyone could imagine having a family member in "that hospice" that was the SAME, VERY hospice that that Schiavo gal is in, like say a grandparent dying of a stroke or TERMINAL cancer, a parent dying of MS or a sibling, cousin, ADULT niece, nephew, child or grandchild who was in a situation where some genetic affliction like cystic fibrosis or muscular dystrophy had gotten the better of them, or they even had one or more close friends there because they were in the latter stages of AIDS or kidney failure or something like that and they as the loved one of the person who's dying was trying to get in to visit them, but couldn't because of all the security.


I wonder as well if anyone could imagine just going to that hospice, just to do some sort of routine volunteer work and having to get through all the security.

1. There's already been at least one case
in which a family member has been held up by the protestors and the security, and got there too late to say goodbye.

3. Ya know, there is supposed to be a law against
protesting near hospitals. Randi Rhodes said it on her show Friday. So why do the Jesus people get a pass on that? Shouldn't the Governor of Florida be enforcing the laws if the local authorities can't?

Well, I know you are from up north and don't have to put up with this kind of BS there, but you are inciteful about this.

5. Maybe I should count myself lucky that Canada had no Schiavo type cases,
yet. <eom>

6. You're right
Didn't Reagan make the law? :shrug: But you're right. It's illegal to protest at a hospital. So where's the freakin police doing their job?!

8. I don't think the police could handle this, so it really is up
to Governor Jeb Bush to make sure the law is followed. If Floridians don't jump on this to cuckold the bastard, they won't get another chance.

10. jeb "buttinski" bush was about to break florida law when he was about to
send in the FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF LAW ENFORCEMENT to "rescue" better known as "kidnap" Terry Schiavo from that hospice to take her to a hospital for re-insertion of the tube. his dear ole poppy must have said, "better watch it son...somethings you just can't do, yet".

[i credit ed naha's "on the road with mama's boy" with naming adding "buttinsky" to jeb's name--an addition which fits the bush boy well, i think).

11. If he actually performed his duties as a real Governor,
he would have had TS removed quietly and by ambulance to an ICU in a hospital with guards. The other hospice patients deserved that peace of mind. No it wouldn't be to reinsert a tube. The courts already said not to and if he were a real and competent Governor he would honor the law. ICU's can administer hospice care to dying patients. I have seen them do so when a patient was beyond help and there was no reason to move them to a nursing home as death was imminent. As Governor he had the power to do this.

HE BLEW IT!

7. It's my sincere hope that Michael Schiavo's attorneys are . . .
.
After the demise of Mrs. Schiavo, it's my sincere hope that Michael Schiavo's attorneys are . . . legally competent and creative to file legal actions against these bastards who've filed frivolous and abuse of judicial process lawsuits against him and his wife, etc., etc. . . as well as others who've been harmed by the large bevy of radical ultra-rightwingnuts behind all this stupidity in the state courts in FL and the federal courts as well.

So much for the likes of Tom DeLay and GWBush who pander their politics off the backs of the sick and ignorant and comatose!

Know who is financing the Schindlers in their fruitless quest within America's legal system?! Check it out at: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x3354749
