From the LA article: Guardianship — which in this case was granted to Schiavo's husband by the courts — has to have limits, especially when the stakes are the very lives of the people under guardians' power. It's important to remember that guardians have power over people, not property, and those people still have rights.

This is where the abortionists have it all wrong: The fetus is treated by the abortionist as property to be disposed of by the mother (guardian) and not as a person who has a right to life.

A disabled person like Terri draws forth from her caregivers, in a way no one else can, caring, compassion, sacrifice, tenderness, selflessness, commitment,... This in itself gives her life value because she enables others to truly love, and to love is the greatest of virtues.

It is also interesting that Terri, in her present state, is having a huge impact on the consideration of prebirth right to life and also quality of life of the disabled. Continued prayer is needed for her and her situation.

Needs saying again (and again).
