Terri Schiavo: March 2006 Archives

...a disabled woman died because her husband wouldn't feed her and didn't think anyone else should feed her either.

The case went before a judge and the judge found the husband guilty of felony neglect and sent him to jail appointed a guardian for the disabled woman ordered the police to arrest anyone who as much as tried to moisten the woman's lips with water.

Meanwhile, women's advocacy groups such as NOW demanded to know why a man who was shacking up with another woman and stood to inherit a pile of money when his wife died was permitted to be the disabled woman's guardian demanded an investigation into past allegations of abuse and neglect had nothing to say.

The mainstream media did serious investigative journalism into the disabled woman's original injuries publicized interviews with nurses who'd cared for the disabled woman in the past demonstrated their concern for the rights of the disabled by publicizing the serious concerns that the disability community had about this case did a profile on George Felos that included his claims to be able to psychically communicate with brain-damaged patients repeated whatever the husband's lawyer told them.

The doctor who was ordered to remove the feeding tube told the husband to go to hell did it.

One year ago, a woman who had committed no crime and was tried by no jury was ordered by a judge to be starved to death. And one year ago today, she died.
