Terri Schiavo's Life and Death

In 2005, Arizona Right to Life sponsored an evening with Bobby Schindler, brother of Terri Schiavo, who is now working full-time for the Terri Schindler-Schiavo Foundation. The Phoenix event drew hundreds of people and included an introduction by Fr. Frank Pavone, president of Priests for Life.

The evening was important because it called attention to the secular mindset that led to the acceptance of Terri Schiavo's death and set a vision for reversing laws that devalue the disabled and equate nutrition and hydration to medical treatment.

Bobby Schindler spoke passionately and with emotional charge, still carrying the pain and grief that followed the public dehydration of his sister and yet describing his hope and vision for the future.

In light of the upcoming two year anniversary of Terri's death, this post containing the first portion Bobby Schindler's address has been republished here. Of course, these details and much more can be read by simply ordering a copy A Life that Matters.
