What is happening to Terri Schiavo is "immoral and it's unnecessary," the Rev. Jesse Jackson said on Tuesday, aligning himself with religious conservatives and pro-life activists who have gathered outside the brain-damaged woman's hospice in Pinellas Park, Fla."She is being starved to death. She is being dehydrated to death. And this is inhumane," Jackson said at a press conference after visiting Terri and praying with her family.He said there is no "rational reason" for such a thing to happen to happen to Terri.Jackson said he's contacted the Florida Senate, urging members to come up with emergency legislation to stop Terri's starvation. He said he's also called the governor's office, but has not yet heard back. And he said he called Michael Schiavo, Terri's husband and legal guardian, asking to pray with him - but Schiavo refused."This is one of the profound moral, ethical issues of our time," Jackson said. "Today we pray for a miracle. We ask God's intervention, and God has done it before."Jackson said he is reaching out to people of faith, "across lines that divide." Terri is in her eleventh day without food or water.

Jesse Jackson is standing up for Terri because he KNOWS it is the right thing to do.Even if you disagree with his politics-even if you don't care for Jesse personally that doesn't mean that what he is saying is not true.
You can be sure his own,including the liberal media,will villify him now. Watch how the media paints a picture of Jackson's support. Watch the media period.SOME will try to persuade public opinion against intervention to save Terri.
Some have already been trying.
I've been writing to msnbc and ccn for commentary nearly every day.
You see bias point it out.Let them know!
I also heard the trinity of evil-Greer,Schavio and Foles are denying Terri her rights as a Catholic.She is not being permitted to recieve Eucharist daily which a Catholic may do and in danger of death even more so.
You don't deny anyone their religous freedom especially a dying person.
