It’s very clear that, even though Terri’s family continues to hope against hope for a miracle, the courts and Jeb Bush are not going to intervene to save Terri’s life.
Given that sad fact, it is time to pray for one thing: That death comes soon for Terri and her suffering, as well as that of her family, ends.
Terri Schiavo is being murdered. It’s just that simple. Her father, Bob Schindler, is calling what is happening “judicial homicide” and I strongly agree with him.
Putting that aside, however, on behalf of Terri and all who love her, we should all now be praying the ancient Maranatha prayer: “Come soon, Lord.”

JHSiess successfully represented the late Florence Wendland and Rebekah Vinson in the landmark California case, Conservatorship of Wendland. Her writings here are dedicated to revealing her unique perspective. Siess is quick to point out that she felt from the case's inception that she was called to handle it as a matter and test of her commitment to the law and specific principles of social justice. Accordingly, she makes no pretense about being objective here and stresses that objectivity is not the goal. Rather, it is her hope that all who read about the protracted litigation that ended with a victory in the California Supreme Court for her clients, but Robert Wendland's death before the win was assured, will resolve never to let their family members speculate about their desires in the event of catastrophic illness or injury -- and not only talk in detail with their loved ones about their wishes, but also commit them to writing. Siess says she is confident you will, after learning what Robert Wendland's family members, caregivers and friends, in addition to the attorneys, judges and justices involved in this case endured, resolve never to permit your loved ones to become embroiled in such a battle.

Yes, prayer is truly needed when a person’s life is ended on the grounds of “un-wantedness” or “lack of viability” –neither of which are justifiable means. To many, they think, “oh this is just one person.” God says it is one person too many. I pray that this terrible event does not turn into the slippery slope that it appears to have the potential to be if the body of Christ does not continue to stand up and speak out.
The murder of Terri Schiavo was super late abortion…get my drift. The line is seriously being blurred in terms of the value of human life because natural law is being thrown out.
Even so, Maranatha!
