Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Court to Consider Petition from Schiavo’s Family

HeadlineMar 30, 2005

The family of Terri Schiavo won a surprise court decision late last night. A federal appeals court in Georgia agreed to consider a petition by her parents for a new hearing on whether to reconnect their severely brain-damaged daughter’s feeding tube. It has been nearly two weeks since a state court ordered Schiavo’s feeding tube removed. Meanwhile the Rev. Jesse Jackson joined with Schiavo’s family Tuesday calling for her life to be saved. He described the case as “one of the most profound moral and ethical issues of our time.”
