Terri Schiavo's Family Continues Effort to Block Jack Kevorkian UF Speech
Life News ^ | 9/3/07 | Steven Ertelt

Gainesville, FL (LifeNews.com) -- The family of Terri Schiavo is continuing its efforts to block a speech by Jack Kevorkian scheduled for the middle of next month. The speech would be the first for the former assisted suicide crusader following his release from prison for killing a disabled man and showing the death on national television.

Kevorkian would speak to students at the University of Florida on October 11 and receive $50,000 for the talk, as long as his parole officers approve the trip.

The family of Terri Schiavo has been leading an effort to stop the speech by gathering petitions from concerned citizens so Kevorkian doesn't get a platform in their home state.

They don't want the former pathologist telling students that people with disabilities should be killed, like their sister, rather than receiving appropriate medical treatment or rehabilitative care.

Bobby Schindler, Terri's brother, told LifeNews.com, "We have collected thousands of petitions (and they are still coming in) to deliver to the Office of the President of the University of Florida."

"We're demanding the University rescind its offer to pay $50,000 for Kevorkian to address the students," he added.

"Despite the ongoing message of death spreading through our society and those, like Jack Kevorkian, who attempt to justify killing the most vulnerable among us, we are committed to fight against this death-obsessed culture and spread Terri's legacy of life, hope and love," Schindler explained.

He said there is still time for pro-life people and others worried about Kevorkian's pro-assisted suicide message to sign a petition asking the University of Florida to cancel the speech.

The petition can be found at the Terri Schindler Schiavo Foundation web site.

ACTION: You can also contact the University of Florida President J. Bernard Machen at 352-392-1311 or president@ufl.edu.

...esteemed institutions of higher learning, another, I forgot which, hired as a professor ex domestic terrorist Bernardine Dorhn, who said of the Tate-La Bianco murders, "offing the pigs with their own knives, far out! The Weathermen dig Charlie Manson!"

That was the University of Illinois at Chicago, my alma mater, to which I will never donate a penny, nor will I give their scuzzy alumni association any donations. {spit}

Hi, everybody! Wha happened?? Did someone take heart in my earlier comments about projection and decide to show everyone a good example? I thought my nazis call people they hate nazis might have triggered the excitement. Do pro-lifers shout they are pro-life when they haven’t a clue as to what it means? What’s it all about?

Sorry I missed the fun.

Close. A “pro-lifer” signed up to tell us that we should use tax payer money to pay for Dr. Death’s right to indoctrinate our kids in the culture of death. His profile page is a hoot! You’ll love it!

Yup, a hoot.

Something is NKR, not quite right. A retread perhaps? You mean it doesn’t sound authentic??

Another error. No one said anything about tax payer money. I said he had no right to say what I read or listen to.

Here's a flaming tip for you novices:

Get your facts right.

Read and pay attention to what people actually post.

Be sure you're on solid ground so that the flame shoots forward.

You mean you’re volunteering to replace the tax money with your own?

You have a serious reading comprehension problem. I’ll not explain it again. When you get older, you may be able to read better.

I inquired about how to sign up for your "readining comprehension lessons," but you never answered. If you're going to speak a separate language from the rest of us, the least you can do is offer lessons in whatever language it is you're speaking. This goes beyond a couple mere typos. You don't make any sense by any standards that Americans use. Please translate your remarks into American English, so the rest of us can understand.

Here it is at your reading level.

The guy you came here to defend and make up stuff to attack me for, even though I never said it, dained to say what people can listen to and then he tried to defend it by attacking me as a troll.

I never addressed the issue of tax payer funded. So you made it up so that you could try to fight some more.

You accused me of being DU.

In the future, get your act together when you go after some newbie.
