God Help Us All

Michael Schiavo supporters were also protesting outside of the Woodside Hospice in Pinellas Park where Terri Schindler Schiavo is warehoused. According to Pro-death activist and Michael 'Let's starve my wife to death' Schiavo supporter Leddy Hammock: "I think that 15 years is long enough. I can't imagine any of us wanting to be in her position. Sometimes the greater love is the love is the love that can let go," Leddy Hammock observed.

I don't believe any one of us would WANT to be in her position, but as Proverbs 24:11-12 states:Rescue those who are being dragged to death, and from those tottering to execution withdraw not.12 If you say, "I know not this man!" does not he who tests hearts perceive it? He who guards your life knows it, and he will repay each one according to his deeds."

While on the surface it may seem her family is being "selfish", have you really reviewed the entire chain of events? Can you really not question the motive of individuals that forsake their marriage vows, and then seek to starve and dehydrate their spouse while committing adultery? Not only is her feeding tube withdrawn, her family is not permitted to hand feed her.
It is a sad testimony to the culture of death and self-centeredness that we cannot suffer with any physical or mental disability. We are FORCING, **NOT** **allowing ** her death, and it is time that it be stopped. She is one of God's children. And we will all be judged for our deeds in allowing this to happen.

Please rethink your position and support of this murder. It is barbaric and wrong. 15 years is too long to allow her to be deprived of normal rehabilitation and the love of her family. It is time for Michael Schiavo to let go.
