COLUMBIA, S.C. -- The sister of Terri Schiavo said Saturday that her family's failed struggle to keep the brain-damaged woman alive shows a society that has "lost sight of the value" of human life.

Suzanne Vitadamo, Schiavo's sister, was the featured speaker at the "Stand Up For Life" rally, sponsored by the South Carolina Citizens for Life. About 1,000 people turned out in front of South Carolina's capitol to listen to Vitadamo recount her sister's ordeal.

Vitadamo said Schiavo did not want to die and was not terminal when she died of dehydration in March, 13 days after her feeding tube was removed. Schiavo's husband, Michael, had a court order allowing him to remove the feeding tube. "Our society has shifted to a quality of life mentality and has lost sight of the value (and) sacredness of all human life," Vitadamo said. "We now as a nation are deciding when it is OK or not OK to kill those suffering from disabilities." Terri Schiavo was 26 when she collapsed in her St. Petersburg apartment in 1990 and was left with irreversible brain damage.

45 million abortions later helps to prove this point

She is right. Go over and read some of the replies posted on Michael Schiavo's new marriage. There are many people who defend this scumbag.
