“Terri’s death was not the end of her fight," he told LifeNews.com. "It was the beginning of a new chapter in the pro-life movement."

"I call upon all those who were moved by Terri’s death to continue their courageous activism in the cause of life, and never to be silent," he said.

Amen!

Today is the third anniversary of Terri's death; whatever your personal beliefs on the subject, I would ask that, at least today, you refrain from negative comments and respect the fact that many of us have very strong feelings about what was done to her.

Thanks and God Bless

Ditto!

It’s an unspeakable tragedy.

I still can hardly believe THAT was allowed to happen in the U.S.. It was so OVBIOUS that her husband was LYING.

I think the family has missed a realy good potential here. ALL the legal organizations have put out FREE living wills to in theory avoid this stuff.

ALL those living wills are directed at pulling the plug. There are no “I want to live” living wills.

Perhaps the Schiavo family should be supporting a living will which says “I want to live” and if my spouse or family wants to pull the plug then this other person is my health care surrogate.

Just a thought.

We should not be look back, but looking forward. If there was a proper living will then this whole schiavo thing would not have happened.

Moved and seconded.

Even if her estranged and adulterous husband was telling the truth (which is implausible when you consider that he didn’t “remember” that she wanted to die until years after her injury and AFTER she had been awarded a large sum of money for rehabilitation), NOBODY can reasonably label FOOD and WATER as life support.

Very classy statement, wagglebee.

Regardless of differing views, the passing of Mrs. Schiavo was a sad event. I know her parents hurt deeply, and whether Mr. Schiavo is a demon or not, I am sure he felt pain at some point in the loss of her, even if he felt he lost her on a day before this one.

I hope that she is now at peace, in the presence of her Lord, and that her parents can take some comfort from that thought even if they no longer have her here.

It still makes me cry.

A harmless human being whose parents wanted to care for her. There was NO REASON for this. They wouldn't have gladly annulled the marriage sign for the divorce - just to keep her and care for her. I hope that “wife” doesn't cross him. Surely she couldn't believe he has a heart.

Why bring sex into this?

Honor Disabled Woman

[wagglebee]

Thank you for your kind words.

The Judge that ordered Terri murdered, should be remembered to for what he is.

'Remembrance of Easter 2005'

Crowd my eyes, you bevies of daffodils,
And you forsythias in throngs of cheer,
Dandelion galaxies and fountains of trees.
Fill my mouth with the breath of hyacinths, you purple air

And you roistering breeze.
And you quince-buds so eager, you swelling seeds,
You squirrels running stitches across the loom
Of woven grasses, inflorescent weeds;
Jasmine-bush, loop me with your lariats of perfume.
Fill me, small birds, with your versicles,
And chuckled replies.

She is bleeding from the mouth and eyes.

Sate me then, Sun, all dapple and spangle
Crowd out all else
Lade me and load me, you skies
With blessings of warmth and breath
Let me see nothing else
But everything springing and skyey.

From the mouth and eyes.

National Right to Life has something called the WILL TO LIVE, which does exactly what you suggest.
