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.

Death cultists in Italy are REWRITING HISTORY. Pope John Paul did have a feeding tube. They said he didn't. See how death cultists are a bunch of LIARS? That includes JUDGE GREER AND JUDGE WHITTEMORE, JUDGE BAIRD, JUDGE SHAMES and the other miscreants in Florida who call MURDER following the rule of law.

MISCREANTS run Florida.

Hannity ended up bailing on her after she died though, for the white house.

Bobby Schindler bttt.

16. Terri's Fight, Bobby Schindler – END OF LIFE

My name is Bobby Schindler. My beloved sister Terri Schiavo was starved and dehydrated to death in the land of abundance while the world watched – because she was disabled and unable to speak for herself. Would you pursue or support legislation that would protect the cognitively disabled and vulnerable people from being dehydrated to death by having their food and water taken away?

FV says: The U.S. has become the LAND OF ABUNDANCE FOR THE HEALTHY who HAVE MONEY. Terri had money before they robbed her. Terri had life until they killed her.

United in Our Core Beliefs? Do you recall Lakeland is where the 2nd DCA is where they signed on to CRUCIFYING TERRI to back up their buddy JUDGE GEORGE GREER, to shoot down JEB BUSH and the SCHINLERS?

Good location for a GOP event. Too bad Jeb Bush's core beliefs changed drastically from 2003 until Terri murder, died March 31, 2005.

They don't have any CORE BELIEFS except TOW THE LINE. Fred's a bushy RINO.

One of OJ's alleged victims had CARDIAC INCIDENT AND IS HOSPITALIZED. Bruce Furlong.

When people do bad things, there are always repercussions. If Bruce Furlong becomes ill, maybe OJ would get additional counts in Vegas.

t'wit would know. Let's face it. He was our walking encyclopedia.

What didn’t you realize? If it’s about AG, yes, that’s true. Not even the media knows it unless they’ve been lurking here since about a month after Terri died.

Oh, yes re: Hannity. He broadcast from hostage woodside (my tag for the place) every night. Then, after he got Mark Fuhrman his book deal and promoted it on radio and tv, he bailed on Terri and her suppporters.

After he was clued in to who really abandoned Terri, of course he had to shut up.

Be here or be square.

Proclaim the infinite value and sanctity of all human life
to the pagan left!!

Colorado’s former Governor - Duty to Die - Dick Lamm
passed America’s first abortion law and laid the ground
work which led to Terri’s murder.

Colorado is ground zero in the war against the pre-born and disabled.

I didn’t realize that Hannity changed his tune after Terri’s death.

I’m 100% pro-life (meaning none of that “kill ‘em in the case of rape and incest” nonsense) but how is this any different than leftists trying to ban pro-life speakers.

Let the man speak, then prove him wrong.

I also did not know that he got Mark the book deal. I looked in my copy of Silent Witness and he does credit Hannity for getting him involved. By Mark writing this book will assures that others will learn of Terri. Do you happen to know what book Mark is working on now?

Mark F. has been on Fox since OJ was first a robbery suspect. I bet he’ll write a new OJ book.

Basically, Hannity stopped talking about Terri or euthanasia after Mark’s book.

Mark made good comments about the robbery. OJ must be the most disliked man in this country outside of prison, followed by Howard K. Stern. Michael Schiavo should be on top of the list also though I am not sure how he rates considering MSM of him.

"Do not taze me, bro." They tazed him. There's going to be a protest today at the college.

If you can handle Florida's police state, it's a great place to visit. lol

He didn't do anything but six cops took him down and they tazered him. ANOTHER LAWSUIT AGAINST FLORIDA LAW ENFORCEMENT.

No big surprise. And, the cops are trying to demonize the kid.

Helen should be interested in this. They said they were arresting him for "inciting a riot". He did not. The video/audio is on tv. He just asked a question.

Helen, are you lurking?

TAZERED STUDENT U OF FLORIDA. So he wanted to impeach Bush and mentioned skull & bones if Kerry was a member. The people who are speaking their mind are muzzled. I don't care if he was left or right. He has freedom of speech.
