Governor Steps In, Terri Saved From "Death Row"

"CLEARWATER, Fla. (AP) - The fight over the life of a comatose woman took a dramatic twist when a hospital began rehydrating her on orders from Gov. Jeb Bush after 11th-hour action by the Legislature. The lawyer for the woman's husband said angrily Wednesday that she was 'literally ... abducted from her deathbed.' Experts said the government's action raises legal issues that could complicate the case even further..."

You know, like whether Terri is a real human being, with rights under the law, or whether her husband will ever get that insurance money he so richly deserves -- real mind-boggling stuff like that.

Raison D’Etre

  • “Our entire daily lives cannot be occupied with purely religious practices; all of us have to eat, and most of us have and want to do many other activities besides. So though we cannot always be religious in this sense, we can always be Catholic, that is, the round of our daily activities can be conducted in such a way as to express and be in harmony with our Faith. And [this] can involve more than avoiding sin and exercising virtue.”

    Thomas Storck,
    The Catholic Milieu
