One Year Ago: Terri Shiavo

It's hard to believe that the one year anniversery of Terri Schiavo's death is just around the corner. It's also hard to believe that her feeding tube was removed one year ago today. And so began a family squabble that lasted for nearly two weeks. I covered many of the events right here last year and so did fellow blogger Agent Tim.

When heard that Terri's feeding tube was removed, I was appalled that anyone would be that cruel and merciless to starve a woman. It was deavastating and I couldn't help but wonder what happened to our country. Her case went before several judges - an ultimately the Supreme Court. The days ticked away and many people waited to see what would happen. Unfortunately, Terri died after slowly starving for nearly 2 weeks.

Let's take a moment to remember what happened one year ago today. We prayed, cried, blogged, and continuely paid attention to the news, hoping that she would live, hoping that this innocent woman would be pardoned from her death sentence. When she died, we were saddened by the state of our country. And then we moved on.

Yet the fight for human life is not yet over. 234,851,023 children have been killed since January 2001. More will die today. More will die tomorrow. Each, like Terri, had a life that was cut short. The fight for life should not be forgotten for their sakes.

Are you willing to take a stand to preserve human life?
