APpalling

The Associated Press continues its distortions of the Terri Schiavo case.

If you have already contacted your legislators to ask them to do everything within their power to save Terri, then call the Associated Press at (212) 621-1500, ask for the National Desk, and tell them:

  • This is not a so-called "right-to-die" case, as the AP continues to insist. It is a right-to-kill case.

  • Terri's doctors do not say she is in a "persistent vegetative state." Michael Schiavo's doctors say that. Dozens of experts who have not been paid by Michael's lawyers to testify insist that Terri is not in a persistent vegetative state, because she responds to her environment (witness the videos on TerrisFight.org)—something PVS patients cannot do—and because PVS cannot be diagnosed without brain scans which Michael has denied his wife.
