"Pro-Life, Living His Beliefs"

Travels from:
Bobby Schindler is the executive director of the Terri Schindler Schiavo Foundation Center for Health Care Ethics which works to protect the lives of the medically vulnerable and disabled from the threat of euthanasia.  The only son of Bob and Mary Schindler, Bobby was born and raised just outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with his sisters, Terri and Suzanne. 

The Schindler children attended parochial elementary and high schools before moving on to various college careers.  After his graduation from LaSalle University with a Bachelor of Science degree in marketing, Bobby moved with his entire family to Florida where he obtained a Bachelor of Science Degree in meteorology from Florida State University. 

Bobby’s life took a dramatic and unexpected turn in February of 1990 when his older sister, Terri, suddenly collapsed and was left with a profound brain injury.  When Terri’s estranged husband sought court permission to starve and dehydrate her to death, Bobby was suddenly propelled into a life he’d never imagined.  He spoke in defense of his sister’s life on numerous national television and radio programs including Hannity & Colmes, Larry King Live, the Oprah Winfrey Show, The Glenn Beck Show, Good Morning America, The Early Show, The Today Show, Dateline NBC, the 700 Club, EWTN and many others. 

 
Following Terri’s tragic death on March 31, 2005, Bobby gave up his teaching job at Tampa Catholic High School and became a full-time pro-life and disability rights advocate.  In the two years since that time, he has spoken extensively throughout the U.S. and internationally, telling the truth about Terri’s story that was largely ignored by the mainstream media, and challenging the public to educate themselves regarding the dangers of euthanasia.  Bobby has also been asked to testify before state legislatures in Florida, Louisiana, California and Kentucky, as well as Members of Parliament in Canada concerning the protection of the medically vulnerable.  He and his family have also authored the book A Life That Matters (2006), regarding their decade long struggle to care for his sister Terri. 

The Schindler family continues to advocate for persons with disabilities and works tirelessly to put an end to the growing pro-death mentality that is plaguing our nation.
