Statement:Use of Schiavo's Grave Marker a Reprehensible and Repugnant Act
http://www.earnedmedia.org/cdc0621.htm

Use of Terri Schiavo's Grave Marker a Reprehensible and Repugnant Act says Christian Defense Coalition
-----------------
"The actions of Michael Schiavo are slap in the face to all disabled Americans." -- Rev. Patrick J. Mahoney, Director of the Christian Defense Coalition
-----------------
WASHINGTON, June 21 /Christian Wire Service/ -- At the burial site of Terri Schiavo's cremated remains, Michael Schiavo used a bronze grave marker to list Feb. 25, 1990, as the date his wife died. Feb. 25, 1990, is the date Terri Schindler Schiavo experienced a still unknown event that left her severely mentally disabled. Terri Schiavo actually died March 31, 2005, nearly two weeks after her feeding tube was removed by court order.

The Christian Defense Coalition, which led prayer vigils and demonstrations in support of Terri Schiavo, say actions reveal the 'real Michael Schiavo' and dispel any myth that he was a loving and caring husband to Terri for the past 15 years.

This also answers the most asked question of the entire Terri Schiavo controversy. That is, why didn't Michael let the Schindlers take care of their daughter? He could not do that because he believed she was already dead.

The Christian Defense Coalition also condemns Michael Schiavo for being the guardian for Terri Schiavo for 15 years when he believed she died in 1990.

Rev. Patrick J. Mahoney, Director of the Christian Defense Coalition, states, "By this one repugnant act, Michael Schiavo has revealed what we and the family knew all along. This was not a loving and caring husband that was concerned about the welfare of Terri. This was a self-centered and hateful man who believed Terri died 15 years ago and was doing all within his power to see that Terri was dehydrated and starved to death. This calls into question the role of Michael being Terri's guardian. For how could he have possibly looked out for her best interests when he felt she was already dead?

7. she went into the light
on feb 25 1990. it is sad that these "christians" believe that she still lived in her body but not in the kingdom of the lord. they do not believe jesus received her spirit that day in feb. yet i must reserve my judgement of these people because i am not the one who will pass judgement on them-only god can pass judgement. to bad these so called christians don`t and won`t see that distintion...

8. Picture of the grave marker


The other picture in today's Tampa Tribune showed the grave from the other side and it is around 20 feet from a pond with a water thingy in the middle...

Very beautiful in my opinion, see the bench behind the gave with her name on it... Michael spend money well and is a class act....

10. Grrr....
I thought I had had all I could take while Terri was alive, but between that opportunist vulture Jeb Bush throwing out vile accusations at Michael and now this, my tolerance for the human race is quickly running low. I don't even believe that they're well-meaning; they truly are just trying to exploit this for their own gain.

Someone else said it above, but it needs saying again: I hope the hell that these people believe in really exists.

11. Grave Marker had both dates on it
The grave marker has both the date of the coma and the date she died on it. One date is listed as the date she died and the other is listed as the date she received peace.

12. The statement isn't even consistent
"This was a...man who believed Terri died 15 years ago and was doing all within his power to see that Terri was dehydrated and starved to death."

If he believed she died 15 years ago, then he couldn't also believe he was starving her to death. I think Rev. Mahoney is worried about a nice source of funding going away.

13. Why do they hate Jesus so much?
Keeping Terri's body artificially alive for 15 years seems a sinful act in itself.
