I have been asked by several correspondents if I intend to write again on the Schiavo case. The answer is that I don’t know. What else is there to say that hasn’t already been written? Terri is the victim of a legal system that has become obsessed with legal process at the expense of justice. The trial in her case was not originally well handled and the courts are hanging that record around her neck like a millstone and refusing to truly and thoroughly examine new facts that have come to light. And the media have been generally complicit by only selectively reporting the facts about her case. It is a travesty any way you measure it. Here are some of my previous writings. Life, Death, and Silence,No Mercy In Florida, and Saving Terri Schiavo. Other articles can be accessed at my WEB site by hitting the “articles” link.
We launched the First Things 2023 Year-End Campaign to keep articles like the one you just read free of charge to everyone.
Measured in dollars and cents, this doesn't make sense. But consider who is able to read First Things: pastors and priests, college students and professors, young professionals and families. Last year, we had more than three million unique readers on firstthings.com.
Informing and inspiring these people is why First Things doesn't only think in terms of dollars and cents. And it's why we urgently need your year-end support.
Will you give today?
