Terri Schiavo fact sheet
Priests for Life .... are asking for their supporters' help in distributing [this fact sheet] to as many people as possible, so feel free to link to this article from your own website (or even copy-and-paste the entire text, if you wish), or...print it out and distribute it to those without Internet access.
Today, Terri Schiavo is fighting for her life. She is not dying... has no terminal illness... is not in a coma... and is not on life-support equipment.
She is not alone. Her loving parents and siblings are ready to care for her for the rest of her life.
She has not requested death.
She has sustained brain injuries and cannot speak or eat normally.
Nevertheless, the only tube attached to her is a feeding tube that provides nourishment directly to her digestive system.
She tries to speak. She focuses her eyes. She smiles. She attempts to kiss her parents.
She has received no physical therapy or rehabilitation since 1991... or tests since 1993.
She was not treated [that is, denied treatment] for life-threatening infections in 1993 and 1995.
Her teeth have not been cleaned since 1995... five teeth were extracted in 2004.
She has been denied the use of a wheelchair since 2000.
She has been forbidden from going outdoors since 2000.
Terri was fraudulently placed in hospice with the false claim of terminal (six months) life expectancy since 2000.
She was denied the Sacrament of the Sick and the Eucharist during an execution attempt in 2003.
There is an "exit protocol" in place for Terri at the hospice to hide evidence of her execution... with cremation ordered immediately upon her death.
She is forbidden to...
...practice her faith... no Mass, no Communion
...attend hospice home functions
...be photographed or videotaped to reveal her abilities
Her parents...
...have begged her estranged husband to let them take care of her... but he has refused
...have been denied medical information on Terri since 1993, in violation of a court order
...were taken off the visitor's list for a total of eight months from 2001-04.
Her estranged husband, Michael Schiavo, obtained a court order to euthanize Terri by starvation and dehydration in 2000... and Terri was forbidden her own legal representation.
A jury awarded him Terri's Medical Trust (nearly $1,000,000) because he promised to use it for Terri's life-long rehabilitation and therapy. However, he has spent the money to pay for his attorney, George Felos -- a "right to die" activist -- and Felos' partners so he can kill her.
He lives with another woman and has fathered at least two children since Terri's brain injury.
He melted down her wedding ring to make jewelry for himself.
He killed her beloved cats... even after Terri's parents offered to take care of them.
Now that you know the facts... help save Terri Schiavo's life!
