Councilman Vernon Robinson Goes to Florida
to Join Those Supporting Terri Shiavo

PINELLAS PARK, FL – Winston-Salem City Councilman Vernon Robinson will miss tonight’s committee meetings of the Winston-Salem City Council because he has joined the hundreds who have assembled in Florida to support Bob and Mary Schindler in their fight to keep their daughter, Terri Schiavo, alive (visit www.terrisfight.org for more information).

The feeding tube keeping Terri Schiavo alive was recently removed, culminating a decade-long legal fight between her parents and her husband, Michael Schiavo. Terri has received no food or liquid since 2 p.m. last Wednesday. Terri lies dying a horrible death while her parents and loved ones are kept from her side by armed guards. Though Terri is Catholic, last rites cannot be performed because the court order forbids the placement of any nutrition in her mouth.

Hundreds of concerned citizens and pro-life activists from all over the country have sojourned to Florida to witness the involuntary euthanization of Terri at the direction of her estranged husband and his accomplices in the Florida judiciary.

The demonstration includes an ongoing prayer vigil as well as an ongoing effort to lobby Florida legislators to intervene in this urgent, life-or-death matter. Governor Jeb Bush has called the legislature into a special session today for the purpose of adopting the House Speaker’s legislation (“Terri’s Bill”) that is designed to save Terri’s life.

Terri Shiavo is the young woman being starved to death in Hospice care by order of the Florida courts. Terri suffered massive injuries several years ago that left her in a severe physical condition and in need of major therapy. However, her husband has seen to it that Terri has received no therapy or medical treatment, making it abundantly clear to all that his only wish was for Terri to just hurry up and die (and yes, there is a lot of life insurance money at stake and he is living with his mistress with whom he has had children).

The mainstream media have perpetuated the myth that Terri is in a coma or a persistent vegetative state when in fact she is very responsive to the attention and instructions given to her by others. The media have also alleged that Terri is on life support, which she most assuredly is not. The only way Terri is assisted is by a feeding tube. Her injuries have left her unable to chew or speak because she has been denied any type of rehabilitation.

Nurses and countless others have filed affidavits with Florida’s legal system stating that Terri’s husband is extremely abusive towards her and that he actually tried to kill her by giving her injections of pure insulin while she lay in the hospital. Three nurses claim that her husband has repeatedly asked, “Is the bitch dead yet?”

Councilman Vernon Robinson said, “What is the world coming to when all respect for the sanctity of life has gone out the window? What civilized society would tolerate such barbaric treatment of an innocent, disabled citizen? A convicted murderer on death row gets more respect than Terri Schiavo has gotten. This travesty of justice means that it’s now open season on anyone whose life is inconvenient for somebody else – in other words, the unborn, the disabled, and the elderly. We are going to stand witness to this atrocity so that Terri’s senseless murder won’t be unnoticed, forgotten, or in vain.”

Six days after Terri Schindler-Schiavo's feeding tube was removed on court order - sentencing her to a slow and painful death - the Florida House of Representatives, influenced by a massive and sustained outpouring of support for the 39-year-old brain-disabled woman, voted tonight to give Gov. Jeb Bush the power to order Terri's feeding tube re-inserted.

Apparently there are two Robinsons to admire. I wonder if they're related?

Wouldn't have known about this if not for FR...

Very appropriately worded!

Too bad the press and the TV media couldn't be as honest about what is really happening as this article is.
