“As we approach the first anniversary of the medical killing of Terri Schindler-Schiavo, I believe it is important that we honor her memory by renewing our resolve to protect the most vulnerable in our society—from conception to natural death,” he continued.
“Abortion and euthanasia both involve the intentional killing of an innocent human being and are anathema to the underpinnings of a civilized society. I believe Roe’s days are numbered and that we will see its reversal in the near future, but we must also continue to advance the cause of the disabled and infirmed,” the NPLAC chairman said.
Terri Schiavo, a brain-damaged Florida woman who lived on a feeding tube for 15 years, was the focus of a landmark right to life case that concluded in the removal of her feeding tube on Mar. 18, 2005. The 41-year-old died nearly two weeks later on Mar. 31.
Peroutka will serve as the keynote speaker for the Maryland Candlelight March for Life that is expected to draw a large crowd of pro-lifers from around the metro area. Attendees will march through the streets of Annapolis to Lawyer’s Mall at the Statehouse.
“The Schindlers are an inspiration to all who value and defend the sanctity of human life, and we are privileged to have them at our event,” said Paul S. Mulligan, a pro-life leader in Maryland and one of the event’s main organizers.
Other groups involved include the Christian Coalition of Maryland, Archdiocese of Baltimore and Washington, Knights of Columbus, Defend Life, Maryland Association of Families – Family Protection Lobby, and Pro-Life Maryland.
