CLEARWATER, March 16, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The family of Terri Schindler Schiavo are working to establish a national day of remembrance in her name to commemorate the growing number of patients who are being killed in hospitals by removal of food and hydration assistance. Robert Schindler and National Urban Policy Action Council president Kevin Fobbs have joined forces in an effort to help disabled people and other avoid Terri's fate.
The goal is to gather a million signatures to petition state officials to establish March 31 as a national day of remembrance, similar to the annual remembrance of the anniversary of the abortion decision, Roe v. Wade.
“Terri Schiavo’s legacy has taught us that life is precious and should be protected,” Fobbs, also a Michigan radio talk show host, said.
"One year ago the nation was emotionally torn apart with grief because of the life and untimely death of Terri Schiavo," Schindler and Fobbs said in a statement. "Some called it a pursuit of the culture of death, however Terri’s very life stood for the culture of life."
"Now a nation that still grieves in its heart will respectfully honour the life of Terri Schiavo by pledging support for an annual national day of remembrance on March 31," they said.
