Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Pro-life advocates have created a new political action committee that will support lawmakers who backed Terri Schiavo and her family's efforts to prevent her euthanasia death. The group is also meant to counter a political action committee set up by Terri's former husband, who won a legal battle to take her life.
Political Action Committee Will Support Lawmakers Who Backed Terri Schiavo

I somehow missed the culture war moment last month when it was reported that Baylor Regional Medical Center in Plano, Texas, disconnected a dying, uninsured cancer patient, Tirhas Habtegiris, from the ventilator that was keeping her alive. The 27-year-old abdominal cancer patient was conscious and did not wish to be disconnected because she hoped that her mother would arrive from Africa for one last visit before she died. The hospital warned the patient and her family that it would keep her on the ventilator for just 10 more days. Ms. Habtegiris died 16 minutes after the ventilator was shut off on December 14, 2005.
It is a turnabout.

Self-inflicted - that's nonsense.
Thanks for the link on the PAC for Terri. I especially liked the following paragraph:
"We'll match 'TerriPAC' dollar for dollar, ad for ad if we have to," Greene told the Cybercast News Service. "We cannot simply sit by and allow solid, pro-life politicians to be targeted by the pro-death forces."
