Murderer Receives Award
Angering many members of the pro-life movement, the West Pasco, Florida Bar Association recently honored Circuit Court Judge George Greer, who ordered the starvation of Terri Schiavo in February.
Joan Nelson Hook, president of the association told the AP that, “We admired his ability to sustain the pressure not to follow the law…I don't think anyone could ever say his decisions were unlawful."
Father Frank Pavone however, head of the group Priests for Life, who was with Schiavo for many of her last hours, said that "On the night before Terri Schiavo died, I said to the national media that Judge Greer was a murderer.”
“I repeat that today," he said.
“Terri”, he continued, “was not dying until she stopped receiving food and water. Once deprived of that sustenance, she died. It does not require any legal or medical expertise to recognize that as murder. Nobody who has lost the basic capability to understand that should be honored." The bar association presented Judge Greer with the award by almost unanimous decision. Added Hook: "We admired his ability to sustain the pressure not to follow the law. I think that shows his character.''
Only in our culture of death could such a horrendous act occur. Instead of being honored for murdering an innocent human being, Judge Greer should have been put on trial for homocide. He desperately needs our prayers, as he will be judged by God in the end and, unless he repents of this mortal sin, he will face eternal damnation. Our God is merciful, but He is also a just God. We will all have to face our Maker at the end of our journey here on earth and will have to explain why we did not do more to stop innocent human beings from being put to death.
