Pro-life group pledges to lobby for legislation to prevent another Terri Schiavo situation

Priests of Life is discussing plans with other pro-life groups to lobby for legislation that would prevent another situation, similar to the one being lived currently by Terri Schiavo and her family.

In a mass e-mail issued by the group’s national director, Fr. Frank Pavone said the proposed legislation would protect the vulnerable and limit the power of the courts.

“Please be assured that no matter what happens in the next few days, we as a people of life will stand together and will, in God's strength, turn back this tide of evil and destruction,” he wrote.

Fr. Pavone also invited people to write personal messages to Schiavo’s parents and siblings and to e-mail them to: Terri@priestsforlife.org. The priest said he would hand-deliver each greeting to the Schindlers.
