Last week moviemaker and creator of the film, The Passion of the Christ, Mel Gibson spoke out on behalf of brain-damaged Terri Schiavo, scheduled to be taken off her feeding tube this week.
In a phone conversation with Bob Schindler, Terri’s father, Gibson encouraged the family to “never give up and continue to pray.”
Gibson also sent a statement to the family, which was read at a rally on Saturday.
In it, he said "I fully support the efforts of Mr. & Mrs. Schindler to save their daughter, Terri Schiavo, from a cruel starvation. Terri's husband should sign the care of his wife over to her parents so she can be properly cared for.”
