Remembering Terri on the Five-Year Anniversary of Her Death

Today, March 20, 2005, was Day 3 of Judge George W. Greer's court ordered slow death by starvation and dehydration of Terri Schindler Schiavo. Over the next two weeks we will post stories of the events that occurred on each of the 13 horrific days that Terri went without food or water. We offer this not only in respect for Terri's memory, but a reminder that in this moment countless people are suffering slow, agonizing deaths in hospice, nursing homes, and hospitals in America and around the world.

Senate Passes Bill That Could Save Schiavo

From March 20, 2005 (Florida Baptist Witness)

The U.S. Senate passed a bill Sunday afternoon that could save Terri Schiavo’s life, sending it to the House, which is expected to vote on it after midnight.

The plan had been for the House to take up the bill first, but when House Democrats objected early Sunday afternoon, the Senate decided to take it up. It passed there on a voice vote.

If it passes the House unamended, it will go to President Bush, who has said he will sign it. If the bill is amended, it will go back to the Senate, where it must pass again before it goes to Bush.

After five years, my system still can’t accept the fact that our government ordered the murder of an innocent woman, while a large segment of our population cheered for more. By “large segment” I don’t mean the outrageous lies reported by the entrenched media. The most trustworthy sources reported approximately 8% supported killing her. That’s a lot of blood thirsty bastards.

In Terri’s memory, we will continue PRAYING and fighting for all of the other Terri’s out there.

House Passes Schiavo Bill

From March 21, 2005 (CNN)

Bush signs bill into law

Following more than three hours of passionate debate on Capitol Hill, the U.S. House early Monday passed a bill on 203 to 58 vote that transfers jurisdiction of the Terri Schiavo case to a U.S. district court for a federal judge to review.

Although highly partisan, 47 Democrats joined 156 Republicans in voting for the bill.

President Bush put his signature on the bill within an hour of passage, and an attorney for Schiavo's parents raced to district court to file a lawsuit and restraining order under the new law.
