Fresh in my mind now is how they tortured her to death, how terrified she looked prior to her death. . . . That will be an image that stays with me and my family the rest of our lives, ... She was beautiful, she was alive, she was a human being and had a family willing to . . . show her compassion as every human being deserves. But the courts decided she would be better off dead. |
I think society . . . has been confused over what compassion is. We're here to love and take care of these people and not kill them, |
I think you're seeing the growing support of the pro-life movement. |
It doesn't matter what Michael says about our family. |
It has always been my family's position that Terri was denied her basic rights. |
It's definitely the same battle. Everybody has a right to life. |
It's going to take a little while before these laws are actually changed. |
It's not going to help at all to do anything that's going to lead to arrests, |
not dying peacefully and painlessly. |
Our family will never believe Terri wanted to die this way. |
She would be doing the same thing for me today. |
She's still alert, but we're going on four days now, and we're slowly watching my sister being starved to death. |
Terri, we love you dearly, but we know that God loves you more than we do. We must accept your untimely death as God's will. |
That is so offensive. If people knew how much Terri loved my father ? all of us. If they knew how much she loved him ... That is a totally ridiculous and, as I said, offensive statement to think that my dad would ever, ever belittle Terri. |
The press I think went out of the way . . . to justify the killing of my sister by her autopsy report. |
