Merciless Spouse: Terri's Saga

Merciless Spouse: Terri's Saga

Terri's husband once again showed the magnitude of his cruelty when he denied her parents' and sibling's request to be by her side until her last breath. This man must be made accountable for his cruel and inhumane actions towards Terri and her fam

ily. There is absolutely no excuse for his attitude and behavior. His cruelty towards Terri and her blood relatives is unforgivable and unforgettable. Terri's story must not end here. Her husband, assisted by our judicial system, condemned her to a most horrendous death forcing her to die of starvation and thirst. That act alone was of the outmost cruelty and evidence of his absolute lack of compassion and affection for his wife.

Even if Terri would have preferred to die than to be kept alive artificially, there was no need to subject her to such a cruel way to die. She agonized for almost two weeks bearing the pain of starvation and thirst. Certainly, it would have been more humane to have induced her into a comma so she would not have felt what she must have felt during those final days.

Michael Schiavo has gotten away with this cruel murder with the blessings of the courts. He is certainly a monster. How much longer is our judicial system going to condone monsters lik

e him in the name of our Constitution? How could the courts be so blind to the blatant abuse this man inflicted on his wife not just during these past few weeks but, at least since she became brain damaged? How could the courts completely ignore the pleas of her loving parents and deny them the right to protect their daughter from this man's cruelty? The courts allowed this man to violate Terri's human and constitutional rights with impunity. He and his attorney successfully turned the media and court's attention to a political issue, the right to life, when in fact this was a clear case of domestic abuse.

Michael Schiavo's actions against Terri's blood relatives even in Terri's final moments only confirm the extent of this man's need for absolute control over Terri and all matters pertaining to her. Domestic abuse is about power and control, Michael Schiavo is a classic example of the heartlessness and arrogance prevalent in abusers. Terri endured almost 14 days of excruciating pain and silent despair as her body withered away. Her stamina allowed her to survive against the odds as if, in doing so, she was letting the world know that her husband was lying and she did not want to die this way.

Don't let her death and suffering be in vain. Write to your Congressman and demand an investigation into the cause of her condition and her husband's actions throughout her ordeal. We must not allow another human being to be condemned to such a horrible death by anyone, not even a spouse or the courts, ever again!
