Human
Life International Statement
on the plight of Terri Schindler-Schiavo
Rev. Thomas J. Euteneuer, President
February 23, 2005
In a few hours it is possible that
a totally innocent and defenseless women will be ordered
to die by a court acting in the exclusive interests
of the powerful euthanasia lobby in the United States.
Euthanasia extremists have been searching for a precedent-setting
case in which to drive more deeply into our dreadful
culture of death the piercing spike of state-mandated
killing, and now we have arrived at the eleventh hour.
May God have mercy on Terri’s soul and the souls
of all those who would be her murderers. The judgment
seat of God will not be like the courtroom of Judge
George Greer. God will demand an accounting for innocent
blood.
The Human Life International network of pro-life,
pro-family advocates around the world categorically
rejects the multiple acts of judicial activism by
which this injustice has advanced so far already,
and we repudiate the cowardly exercise of raw power
and hatred that is incarnate in the campaign of husband
Michael Schiavo and his legal team to kill a precious
child of God.
We commend and pray for the valiant parents of Terri
Schindler-Schiavo, Robert and Mary Schindler, their
heroic lawyers and the many, many saints who are defending
Terri’s life in Florida with passion and truth.
We also call on all persons of good will in the world
to pray for justice for Terri who is at the mercy
of the court today, and we ask that this and similar
injustices may never be perpetrated upon any human
being on the face of the earth, born or unborn. May
the Lord hear our prayer!
