In the 20 years since the death of Terri Schiavo. pro-life advocates of severely disabled or end-of-life patients have not had the kinds of significant culture-war victories that the anti-abortion movement has won in recent years.
Frank Pavone... head of the organization Priests for Life, told the Washington Examiner that he saw Terri multiple times in the months leading up to her death, starting in the fall of 2004.
He said his most poignant memory of Terri is on the day she died, with a flower vase filled with water on her bedside table, while she had been cut off from hydration. "I'm standing there, kneeling there, looking, sitting there, and I just kept looking in one glance at Terri's face and then the vase of flowers nourished in the water," Pavone said. "I said, 'What is this?' This is the absurdity of the culture of death."
