Remembering Terri on the Five-Year Anniversary of Her Death

Today, March 19, 2005, was Day 2 of Judge George W. Greer's court ordered slow death by starvation and dehydration of Terri Schindler Schiavo. Over the next two weeks we will post stories of the events that occurred on each of the 13 horrific days that Terri went without food or water. We offer this 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.

Schiavo's Feeding Stops

From March 19, 2005 (Tampa Tribune)

Even U.S. marshals armed with congressional subpoenas could not stop the removal of Terri Schiavo's feeding tube Friday. The fight to keep the brain- damaged woman alive, however, is not over, federal lawmakers and Schiavo's parents said.

Twice before the 41-year- old St. Petersburg woman's feeding tube has been removed, and twice before Bob and Mary Schindler found a way to have it reinserted against the wishes of their son- in-law.

Senate Passes Bill That Could Save Schiavo

From March 20, 2005 (Florida Baptist Witness)

The U.S. Senate passed a bill Sunday afternoon that could save Terri Schiavo’s life, sending it to the House, which is expected to vote on it after midnight.

The plan had been for the House to take up the bill first, but when House Democrats objected early Sunday afternoon, the Senate decided to take it up. It passed there on a voice vote.

If it passes the House unamended, it will go to President Bush, who has said he will sign it. If the bill is amended, it will go back to the Senate, where it must pass again before it goes to Bush.
