Feature: Interview with Bobby Schindler, Disability Rights and Pro-Life Advocate
Erik, Jeff & Kortney interview Bobby Schindler, Disability Rights and Pro-Life Advocate, part of the Terri Schindler-Schiavo Foundation and co-host of America's Lifeline
In February of 1990 Bobby's sister, Terri Schiavo, suddenly collapsed and was left with a brain injury. Terri's estranged husband sought court permission to starve and dehydrate her to death, propelling Bobby into speaking in defense of his sister's life on numerous national television and radio programs.
Following Terri's awful death on March 31, 2005, Bobby gave up his teaching job and became a full-time pro-life and disability rights advocate. Since then, he has spoken extensively throughout the U.S. and internationally, telling the truth about Terri's story and challenging the public to educate themselves regarding the dangers of euthanasia. He's also been asked to testify before state legislatures concerning the protection of the medically vulnerable.
He and his family have authored the book A Life That Matters, about their decade long struggle to care for his sister Terri, and they started the Terri Schindler-Schiavo Foundation. Bobby is also the co-host on America's Lifeline, a weekly radio program covering such topics as euthanasia, futile care and assisted suicide.
