| <p><strong>Rep. Green statement on passage of legislation to save the life of Terri Schiavo </strong></p> | |
| <p><strong>WASHINGTON –</strong> After returning to Washington, D.C. late Sunday night for an emergency session of Congress, U.S. Rep. Mark Green (R-Green Bay) issued the following statement Monday morning on his vote in favor of legislation that would, in effect, save the life of Terri Schiavo by requiring her feeding tube be reconnected.</p> | |
| <p><em>“In the wee hours of the morning my colleagues and I voted to save the life of Mrs. Terri Schiavo – a woman left to spend the rest of her days under the smothering pain of malnutrition and dehydration. This action marks a tremendous victory in the fight to protect the most innocent among us, and preserve the ‘culture of life’ that helps make our nation the greatest on earth. I was honored to return to Washington for this historic vote, and pray that our efforts have permanently thwarted a heartless attempt to extinguish the life of a remarkable woman. Only time will tell.”</em></p> | |
| <p>Green will be available for interviews on the Schiavo matter throughout the day Monday.</p> | |
