In a Bush campaign advertisement, a narrator says, “He’s a man of deep faith who fought time and again for the right to life.” The ad includes a photo of Ms Schiavo, prompting Ms. Schiavo’s widower to criticize Bush and his super-PAC for using “my wife’s tragedy for his crude political gain.”
George Felos, one of Michael Schiavo's attorneys, in a letter to The Florida Bar News extolling mindfulness for lawyers, writes, "As the lead attorney in the Terri Schiavo case, I experienced years of bone-crushing stress and can attest to the benefits of meditation practice in dealing with that stress."
