The Left’s Continuing Lies about the Terri Schiavo Case

By Wesley J. Smith Here’s the myth constantly pushed: Social-conservative Republicans interfered with the intimate family decision making of devoted husband Michael Schiavo, who selflessly sought to obey the express wishes of his beloved Terri not to be kept alive if in a profoundly cognitively disabled state. That’s a profound distortion — to put it …

That is an agonizing death. 2. The …
