The husband of Terri Schiavo says a television ad by the super PAC backing Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush that features an image of his deceased wife is “disgusting” and exploitive.

The ad from Right to Rise, which is running on TV stations in South Carolina, shows a brief image of Schiavo — the severely brain-damaged Florida woman who was at the center of a decades long legal and political battle to remove her life support in the ’90s and 2000s — while a narrator describes Bush as “a man of deep faith, who fought time and again for the right to life.”
“It is simply disgusting that Jeb Bush and his super PAC would exploit my wife’s tragedy for his crude political gain,” Michael Schiavo told BuzzFeed News. “Shame on Jeb Bush.”

Michael Schiavo for years battled his wife’s parents in court, arguing over their objections that Terri Schiavo would not want to be kept alive in her vegetative state. Bush, then governor of Florida, got involved in the case in the early 2000s to try to keep Terri Schiavo alive. The Florida legislature in 2003 passed “Terri’s Law,” which allowed him to order that Terri Schiavo continue to receive life support. After an extended legal battle, the law was later ruled unconstitutional, and in March of 2005, Terri Schiavo was removed from life support.

1. For a family that likes to present itself . . .

. . . as the very model of an ideal, upper crust American family, the Bushes are capable of astonishing displays of exceedingly poor taste!

3. This makes me fucking mad.

That low life piece of shit Jeb Bush has NO right to use Schiavo for political gain. He did not in 2005 and he sure as fuck does not now.
