Thoughts

Sometimes I have things that I am bothered with, and set them aside for awhile, only to be reminded about them at a later date, by circumstances or something else that I read. Such is the case today, as I catch up on my emails.

Awhile ago, members of the Congress of the US issued subpoenas to many baseball players and tole them that if they did not show up, they would be held in contempt of Congress. They showed up.

ABOUT the same time, Congress also subpoenaed Terri Schiavo, Michael Schiavo, two of her attending physicians, and the Hospice Administrator, and further ordered that

quote:

"No things including those things reflecting data, information, or records called for by this request shall be destroyed, modified, transferred, disconnected, discontinued, or otherwise made inaccessible to the Committee," the subpoenas read, according to Fox, which means the feeding tube must stay in place for another week.

Ignoring the subpoenas would amount to being in contempt of Congress and would incur penalties of fines and or imprisonment.

end quote.

Almost immediately after receiving the subpoenas, Judge Greer ordered Terri's G-tube to be removed. Nothing happened to any of those who defied the Congressional subpoenas! Why? And why, in the future should ANYONE answer ANY Congressional subpoena for ANY reason in the future?

THEN, there's the case of the 13 year old girl in Florida who wanted an abortion, and DCFS said no... so a judge said yes. And many see no problem with this. I DO. That child is 13 years old... WHO made her pregnant???? She cannot 'consent' legally ... who made her pregnant??
Where is that person, and why is HE not being charged with having sex with an underage CHILD? And now. of course, because that wonderful Judge has intervened and given permission for the baby to be killed... we will never know. Why was the fact that she is only 13 and pregnant --UNDERAGE-- not questioned by anyone down there in Florida???

Mike Thomas complains about Bush 'stomping on rights of pregnant girl'... but what about her right to NOT have been made pregnant in the first place, at age 13??? Florida has been having a lot of problems with children being victimized by child molesters and dying as a result, and he does not even give THIS a thought? Unbelievable, IMHO. So, not only does a baby die, a child made pregnant gets to probably someday suffer from post abortion syndrome and other side effects of abortion, but SOME guy gets away with having sex with a minor, again!

And there is another excellent article on Terri Schiavo by a neurologist, James M. Gebel Jr., M.D., M.S., F.A.H.A, that many will choose to ignore, but I can't. I have to draw attention to it, because it is so right-on. It is a Catholic Doctor speaking, but many hold the same opinion including atheists. This isn't a religion based issue, but a disability issue. Disabled people have a right to live, no matter what condition they are in.

And then, within a period of months, we have THREE cases similar to Terri's that 'suddenly' became responsive. The latest is Tracy Gaskill , injured about two and a half years ago, and just before her was DonaldHerbert , a firefight who had been severely injured ten years ago. AND of course, there was Sarah Scantlin just a month before they began to kill Terri.

Just a few things I have been wrestling with for the past month and a half since Terri died at the hands of Judge Greer and George Felos and Michael Schiavo.
