Just a Statement
In less than 24 hours, by order and consent of a Florida judge, the feeding tube will be removed from Terri Schiavo, causing her to expire from dehydration.
Forgive the sanitation of the above expression; I should have said 'die of thirst', but I am attempting to constrain my passions at this point, or else there will be outpouring of enraged vulgarity displayed on this blog, the likes of which you have never seen before.
Here are a few sources of information on the case. They are, for the most part, slanted towards preserving her life.

From the point of view of a pro-life theistic Christian (pardon me, a right-wing religious whack-job...), I just want to make the following comments.
"Behold, this was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had arrogance, abundant food and careless ease, but she did not help the poor and needy." (Ezekiel 16:49)
"Hear this, you who trample the needy, to do away with the humble of land, saying, 'When will the new moon be over, so that we may sell grain, and the sabbath, that we may open the wheat market, to make the bushel smaller and the shekel bigger, and to cheat with dishonest scales, so as to buy they helpless for money, and the needy for a pair of sandles, and that we may sell the refuse of the wheat?'
"The LORD has sworn by the pride of Jacob, 'Indeed, I will never forget any of their deeds.'" (Amos 8:4-7)
I don't know if I really have a point with quoting the above verses, I simply felt them apropos to the current situation. There are many others, which I will save until I see what happens tomorrow.
If you wish to know, the pertinent word in the above quotes is needy. This word is translated from the Hebrew word ebyon, which Strong defines as "poor, needy, often as a class of persons with physical needs, of low status and little political power, with an associative meaning of oppression and misery".
Again, take what point from the above you want. Heck, some of you probably consider my admited status as a pro-life theistic Christian enough to completely invalidate anything I say. I don't care.
I take my stand with those who wish to preserve the life of Terri Schiavo.
Whatever will happen, will happen tomorrow at 1 P.M. Till then, I will pray.
