Judge Greer defies subpoena; orders the slo-mo murder of Terri to commence

At about 4pm Eastern time, Terri Schiavo began a death process at the hand of others that is so inhumane that no civilized society would dream of using it even on condemned mass murderers.

The gambit by the U.S. House of Representatives to prevent this court-ordered killing failed as Judge Greer refused to allow the House subpoena to be served; all that was accomplished was a slight delay in the removal of the feeding tube.

Without a trace of irony, Michael Schiavo's attorney George Felos (whose mission in life appears to be to make such killings so commonplace that we'll yawn the next time it happens) called the legal maneuvering "shameful".

Terri's parents were ordered out, and can get no closer to their daughter than the crowds of protesters nearby.

Jodi Centonze, with whom devoted husband Michael Schiavo has lived several years, and by whom Michael has fathered children, tells reporters that Michael is "distraught".


I'm going to keep following this, but I don't know whether or not I'll post more. Go to ProLife Blogs to get more up to the minute—and sometimes exclusive—information.

We didn't get to this point overnight. This is the logical end of a long chain of choices our culture has made in recent decades. May God have mercy on us.

This situation is unbelievable. I just read the timeline on one of Terri's sites. What Judge Greer has done is criminal. She cannot even be fed BY MOUTH! It's murder by law of an innocent woman! Why don't women's groups care? Why do we let this happen? Who are judges that they can kill with impunity? Pray for Terri - and for us all.
