Christian Coalition Grieves With Terri Schiavo's Family
The following was released today by the Christian Coalition of America:
Christian Coalition of America extends sympathy to the family of Terri Schiavo who unnecessarily lost their daughter and their sister just days after Easter week. This innocent disabled woman was not in the dying process, but a judicial system was determined to take her life.
Christian Coalition of America President Roberta Combs said, "Christian Coalition extends our sympathy to the family of Terri Schiavo. We know that she is now at peace. Terri fought until the very end to live and her parents, sister and brother are to be commended for trying to save her life. We urge Congress to address a judicial system which is no longer concerned for innocent life, so that another Terri Schiavo will not have to die."
