Terry Schiavo, the Florida woman at the center of a controversial legal battle to keep her alive, still has a chance, in a Breakpoint.com commentary Chuck Colson writes:
Once again, I pray God's will be done.
Hopefully this is the break needed to bring justice where there hasn't been for quite some time. Mr. Colson urges all to contact Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, along with our representatives and senators to urge them to pass this bill before March 18th, the day Terry Schiavo will have her feeding stopped by court order.
Florida Senator Mel Martinez (R) and Representative Dave Weldon (R) have just introduced the Incapacitated Persons Legal Protection Act in the U.S. Congress. The act is based on the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution, which states, No State . . . shall deprive any person of life . . . without due process of law . . . nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. This act is designed to guarantee the constitutional right to life of Terri and others in her position. It would establish Terris right to her own legal counsel and call for a review of her case in federal court.
Once again, I pray God's will be done.
