In an effort to keep up public attention on the Terri Schiavo situation, we are continuing the Bloggers' Best for Terri Schiavo while motions on her behalf are in the courts. If you contributed to parts one or two of the linkfests, please feel free to contribute a new work this week for part three, by emailing them to me at this email only. If you don't write a blog and want to contribute, send your comments in an email and I will include them.
Please, everyone, take the time to write letters or emails or make telephone calls on Terri's behalf, even if you have already done so. It is the least we can do, and it is having an impact. Use this link for contact information courtesy of the folks at Blogs for Terri. If you wish to contribute to the legal fees of the Schindler family as they fight for their daughter's life, visit TerrisFight.org for donation information. (Remember that Michael Schiavo has been using the $1.7 million fund a jury awarded him for his wife's care to pay for his legal actions to end her life, while the family that is defending her has no such resources.)

Mike of Eternal Pespectives sent me this piece privately, because he was a little worried some might be offended by some of the points he raises. I wasn't. They are sobering and difficult issues.

They are about life, and life is worth fighting for.
