One year ago, the brutal and painful court-ordered death sentence of Terri Schindler Schiavo began. A man named George Greer ordered this execution, at the request of Michael Schiavo, the husband of Terri Schindler Schiavo. Greer further ordered all Florida police to cooperate in the efforts to brutally exterminate the innocent life of Terri Schindler Schiavo.

Greer justified his death sentence for Terri Schiavo by saying "the law" calls for this. As June Maxam states in the North Country Gazette, it is a violation of Florida law to prevent an individual from receiving food and water. Nat Hentoff pointed out that Greer did not even allow Terri Schiavo her own lawyer. The law allows lawyers for convicted criminals on death row. Terri Schindler Schiavo never committed a crime. Rather, she was an easy target to popularize a whole new facet of the Culture of Death.

Sadly, the majority of people shrugged their shoulders or outright supported this heinous act. Should we be surprised? Not really. Society has accepted the evil act of abortion for years. An innocent human baby is brutally murdered because he or she was an inconvenience. Terri Schindler Schiavo' court-ordered murder shows that born people are not safe from the ever-expanding appetite of the Culture of Death. It also shows that society has been brainwashed enough to simply not care.

Terri Schindler Schiavo was not hooked up to a ventilator. She simply needed food and water to be provided via a tube. Babies (the ones who actually have NOT been aborted) need to be spoonfed. They are unable to eat on their own.

There were numerous witnesses who said Terri Schindler Schiavo made efforts to communicate. Cameras and tape recorders were forbidden after a certain point. George Felos, who served as the lawyer arguing to have Terri killed, said this was for Terri's "privacy." Yet, he freely discussed her medical condition with the media. Felos claimed that during her court-ordered death process, she looked "beautiful." This account differs greatly from the eyewitness account given by Father Frank Pavone of Priests for Life.

In a society that ignores God's Holy Laws and instead makes a pagan god out of man-made secular law, nobody is safe. There are no guaranteed rights. Rights depend on the interpretation and viewpoints of whomever occupies the bench at the time. In situations where there are multiple judges presiding over a case (for example, the Supreme Court), there are often dissenting opinions. If the law was clear and the judges were infallible, there would be no need for dissenting opinions. In the case of Roe v. Wade, not every judge agreed that there is a "right" to kill innocent babies. We are placing life and death decisions at the hands of fallible human beings. Yet, we have one Infallible Judge Who has provided us with Ten Commandments. One of these Commandments states "Thou shalt not kill." It does not have an exception for "choice." If we would simply obey these common sense Commandments, people would not be going to court to beg judges to let them murder innocent people.

Terri survived thirteen days of pure torture. She is now no longer in a world containing a majority of people who either passively or actively accepted/supported her court-ordered suffering. While Terri received media attention, remember that there are many others who are being murdered in this way. We must never forget Terri or anyone else who has been murdered in this manner.
