Let us work and pray to ensure that Terri's murder is one day celebrated as the turning point in our struggle.
Let's see if her miserable excuse for a husband tries to block this somehow.
I agree with your post entirely.
I thinking killing her, and other people similar to her, in the way that she was killed will have a lasting impact on our society- but a National Day of Remembrance is going too far, IMO.
Even IF one was for personal euthanasia and even IF one believed that Terri was nothing but a "vegetable", that does not excuse the horrendous way she was murdered. We give convicted murderers more consideration in making sure they are executed "humanely"... Why is it not ok to starve animals and criminals, but it is ok to starve and dehydrate an innocent woman whose husband wanted her dead?
This is an evil I will never forget.. it opened my eyes even wider to the corruption and death that happens in this country.
(Denny Crane: "I Don't Want To Socialize With A Pinko Liberal Democrat Commie. Say What You Like About Republicans. We Stick To Our Convictions. Even When We Know We're Dead Wrong.")
Terri was legally put to death in a most merciless, cruel manner, while her loved ones pleaded for her life, and absent any evidence that she ever desired to end her life.
It is still happening to others, it will continue to happen, it could happen to any of us.
Personally I don't think a day of remembrance is sufficient. A few indictments would be a good start.
But I'll settle for a day of remembrance.
How quickly we forget...
Count me in. God Bless Terri and her family.
Ask not for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee.
