Pelosi Statement on Terri Schiavo Case
Washington, D.C. -- House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement on Congressional involvement in the Terri Schiavo case:
“The case of Terri Schiavo is a sad and tragic situation. Congressional leaders have no business substituting their judgment for that of multiple state courts that have extensively considered the issues in this intensely personal family matter. The actions of the majority in attempting to pass constitutionally-dubious legislation are highly irregular and an improper use of legislative authority.
“Michael Schiavo is faced with a devastating decision, but, having been through the proper legal process, the decision for his wife’s care belongs to him and to God.
“This rush to exploit a personal tragedy is not fair to those involved and will not create good policy.”
“ Democrats are united in presenting a New Direction for America, one that will make our nation as strong as its people, one that brings opportunity, security, and prosperity to all Americans. ”
Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi
