Don’t look for an ad campaign this fall that reminds of Terri Schiavo. Secretary of State John Gale announced Friday that a proposed constitutional amendment dealing with end-of-life issues did not get enough petition signatures, so it will not be on the November ballot.
The so-called humane care measure would have made it illegal for hospitals and other institutions to withhold food or water from an individual unless the person made his or her intentions known, in advance, through legal documentation. The measure was inspired by the Terri Schiavo case from last year.

(AgapePress) - A Christian attorney says, contrary to the claims of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), a North Carolina school board's policy banning sex-based student clubs is clearly constitutional and within the boundaries of the law.
The Rowan-Salisbury Board of Education enacted the ban in response to the formation of a Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA) club at South Rowan High School. The new policy is based on the school district's existing abstinence-only sex education policy.
David Gibbs III, the lawyer who represented Terri Schiavo's parents in their very public fight for the disabled woman's life, has been advising the Rowan-Salisbury School Board and defending their decision to enact the ban on sex-based school clubs.
