Protesters hug, sing hymns
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Protesters who had been keeping vigil outside Terri Schiavo’s hospice began praying, singing and hugging each other upon hearing that she died today.
Protesters streamed into Pinellas Park, Fla., before her feeding tube was removed on March 18. Their numbers grew as her ordeal lengthened — and dozens were arrested at the site, including some who tried to bring her water.
One woman who was outside the hospice today said ”Words cannot express the rage I feel.” She added ”Is my heart broken for this? Yes.”
Other protesters could be heard singing hymns and praying with each other outside the hospice.
