Update: Congress Plans Order to Keep Schiavo Alive
Tomorrow, March 18th, Terri Schiavo’s feeding tube will be removed. Why this is happening is beyond my comprehension. This woman is not on life support; she is provided with food and water that she is unable to obtain for herself. The same is true of small children, and yet our country would be horrified at the idea of starving one to death. I encourage you to contact your state senator’s and representatives and make your thoughts known on this issue. I am also including a link to the state senators and representatives in Florida. They need to know that the whole country is watching what happens in their state.
List of Florida’s State Senators and Representatives with e-mail addresses and contact info.
US Senate Home Page — just choose your state from the list and you will be directed to a page with your senators. There will be links to contact forms for each senator.
US House of Representatives Home Page — enter your zip code and you will be directed to the page of your representative and the appropriate e-mail address.
Also, keep praying for Ms. Schiavo and her family. Pray that someone in power will take action to prevent this woman’s death.
Update: Fla. House OKs Bill to Keep Schiavo Alive
Food and water is life support.

March 17th, 2005 at 4:19 pmDo we then consider all newborn infants to be on life support? Or paraplegics who cannot feed themselves? Where does the line go?
