Last night, the former high school teacher in Tampa, Fla., brought his story to the region, telling a crowd of nearly 800 at a Massachusetts Citizens for Life dinner held at Chez Josef that people need to realize there is a cultural war going on over right-to-life issues.
Schindler, 41, said in many cases, economics has become the driving factor in why people are in favor of euthanasia and letting disabled people like Schiavo, who was in a persistent vegetative state for years, die.
"It's a pre-Holocaust mentality," Schindler said. "Based on someone's disability, we are justifying and rationalizing it (letting people die) because we look at them as being too expensive to care for. That's extremely frightening, troubling and disturbing to me."
For Schindler, speaking before a crowd is no longer unique. Since his sister's death, he said he has traveled the world, visiting places like Italy, Ireland and England to speak on the issue.
Though Schindler said his trip to Western Massachusetts was planned before the case of Haleigh Poutre made headlines, he said he sees similarities between the two cases.

For any who still defend this sociopath, please note how he draws to his newfound pals.
That's why I've started TerriPAC - a national political committee dedicated to fighting for our rights and holding the politicians accountable who played politics with my life and would do the same to you. We've already supported and contributed to several candidates and leaders who know the difference between running a country and running our lives.
But I'm writing this today to let you know that TerriPAC is sending me to Las Vegas to attend the YearlyKOS convention! At the convention, I've been invited to host a round-table discussion about the politics surrounding my case, the right-wing's growing threat to our privacy and what we can do about it.
