Terri Schiavo's Family, Catholic Group Release Details About "Terri's
Day"
St.
Petersburg, FL (LifeNews.com) -- The family of Terri Schiavo and
a leading Catholic pro-life group have released details about their plans for
the first-ever Terri's Day. Observed on March 31, the day Terri succumbed from
the painful 13-day starvation and dehydration death her former husband subjected
her to, the day is one to honor her life and help others. As LifeNews.com reported
in December, Priests for Life and the Terri Schindler Schiavo Foundation announced the
establishment of the "International Day of Prayer and Remembrance for Terri
Schindler Schiavo, and All of Our Vulnerable Brothers and Sisters." The purpose
of the day, the groups told LifeNews.com on Thursday, is to foster
education, prayer, and activism regarding discrimination against the disabled.
They hope to help other disabled patients like Lauren Richardson and others in
situations similar to what Terri and her family faced. "No family should ever
have to witness what my family witnessed, watching a loved one slowly dehydrate
to death," Suzanne Vitadamo, Terri's sister, told LifeNews.com. "We want Terri's day to
remind us all that persons with disabilities are never burdens and should be
treated with nothing but our unconditional love and compassion." Full story at

Abortion Business Owner Sentenced for Allowing Unlicensed
Abortions
Miami, FL (LifeNews.com) --
The owner of southern Florida abortion centers pleaded guilty in late
December to practicing medicine without a medical license, though the news is
only coming to light now. Belkis Gonzalez, who owns the A Gyn of Miramar
abortion center, was arrested on two felony counts related to abortions at the
facility. Gonzalez and her business partner Siomara Senises, who also own
abortion businesses in Miami and
Hialeah, were charged with multiple violations after a two-year investigation by
health officials. Police records the Miami Herald newspaper obtained show that
no one at the Miramar abortion businesses, also known as the Miramar Women's
Center, was licensed to do abortions in the last five years, putting women at
risk. According to a statement Operation Rescue sent LifeNews.com, Gonzalez
changed her plea two months ago and was sentenced to 5 years probation and told
she can no longer work in the medical field. However, the pro-life group
indicates her 23-year old daughter, Natali Vergara, is now operating the
abortion business. Full story at LifeNews.com.
