Today's update from the  Terri Schindler Schiavo Foundation:

Four Years Ago Today, Terri Schiavo Dies After Almost Two Weeks Without Food or Water

Four years ago today Terri Schiavo died. By the order of Judge George W. Greer, Terri died a slow barbaric death by starvation and dehydration over a period of almost two weeks. We have been posting stories of the events that occurred on each of those days not only in respect for Terri's memory, but a reminder that in this moment countless people are suffering slow, agonizing deaths in hospice, nursing homes, and hospitals in America and around the world.

Terri Schiavo Dies

From March 31, 2005 (FBW/BP)

Terri Schiavo, the 41-year-old disabled woman at the center of a nationwide life-and-death debate, died Thursday morning in her Florida hospice -- nearly two weeks after her feeding tube was pulled.

Her case captured the nation's attention in recent weeks, as Congress and President Bush intervened in an attempt to save her life. But in the end, Schiavo's parents failed to convince federal courts to re-insert her feeding tube.

I frequently see reference to “state sanctioned murder.” That needs to be corrected. The state didn’t merely sanction her murder. It ordered her murder. Judge Greer didn’t give anyone permission to kill Terri Schiavo. He issued a court order demanding that she be hung by the neck until dead. No wait, that wasn’t the method of execution. But I digress. The point is, it wasn’t a state sanctioned murder. It was a state ordered murder.

Never again.

This is why we fight.

Today I am going to vote for a strong, prolifer for Congress in NY’s Special Election.

Wesley J. Smith and Life News both did wonderful tributes to Terri and the Schindlers.

Threads by me.

Wesley J. Smith: Today is "Terri's Day:" The Fourth Anniversary of the Death of Terri Schiavo

Today is "Terri's Day." It is the fourth anniversary of the end of Terri Schiavo's ordeal of death by dehydration. This cruel end was not a necessary death. It was forced upon her by judicial fiat even though she was not terminally ill, did not require a respirator or kidney dialysis, and had a loving family eager to care for her for the rest of her natural life.

Terri's family believed and believes that she knew when they visited and reacted with joy. But even if she was unaware, she remained a beloved daughter and sister, fully worthy of life and care. . .

Four Years After Terri Schiavo's Death, Schindler Family Fights for Disabled

St. Petersburg, FL (LifeNews.com) -- Four years ago today, Terri Schiavo succumbed to the effects of the painful starvation and dehydration death her former husband subjected her to over a 13-day period. Terri was killed on March 31, 2005 when her former husband won a protracted legal battle against the Schindler family for the right to disconnect her feeding tube.

Now, the Schindler family -- Terri's mother and father and brother and sister -- honors her memory by fighting for other disabled and minimally conscious patients to receive the kind of medical care, rehabilitative treatment and food and water Terri was denied. . .
