Season 1&2 investigates a story that in 2005 riveted the world: the case of Terri Schiavo, a brain-injured woman whose husband and parents fought a bitter legal war over Terri’s right to die, or…. right to live. Season 1 (released last year) drew hundreds of thousands of listeners. Season 2 was released on May 4! You can listened to both Season 1&2 of Lawless by clicking here!

SPEAKING
Bobby Schindler advocates for the medically vulnerable in honor of Terri Schiavo, his sister. He speaks internationally, and can be booked for speaking through Ambassador, and Catholic Speakers Organization.
Bobby Schindler is President of the Terri Schiavo Life & Hope Network, a Paige Comstock Cunningham Senior Fellow at Americans United for Life, and an Associate Scholar at the Charlotte Lozier Institute.
A full-time pro-life advocate, Bobby and his family has been instrumental in providing resources and support to more than 4,000 patients and families at risk of euthanasia from physicians, hospitals, insurance companies, and others more interested in healthcare rationing than in providing basic, life-affirming care for their most vulnerable. Bobby is a regular contributor to LifeNews.com. His writings have also appeared in the Wall Street Journal, The Linacre Quarterly, The Federalist, Chicago Tribute, TIME, National Review, Human Life Review, Townhall.com, The Daily Caller and others.
Bobby's life took a dramatic and unexpected turn when his older sister, Terri, mysteriously collapsed and was left with a brain injury while home alone with her husband, Michael (Note: a reason for Terri's accident/brain injury has never been determined). In 1998, when Michael, Terri's now estranged husband sought court permission to starve and dehydrate her to death, Bobby was propelled into a life he'd never imagined. He spoke in defense of his sister 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. Bobby co-authored the book A Life That Matters: The Legacy of Terri Schiavo as a resource for those seeking to understand the true story of Terri’s fight.
As a pro-life advocate, Bobby has spoken in more than 46 states and in over a dozen countries. He has spoken to young people at dozens of high schools, colleges and universities, with special emphasis on medical and law students. He speaks not only with firsthand accounts of Terri’s story—which was often misrepresented by mainstream media—but also on topics relating to the medically vulnerable today, particularly including the right to food and water, medical ethics and the bioethics movement, and how to uphold human dignity for a disabled or medically vulnerable loved one. He has testified before state legislatures in Texas, Florida, Louisiana, California, Kentucky, Ohio, and has addressed Members of Parliament in Australia and Canada concerning the protection of the medically vulnerable.
Bobby holds an M.S. in Bioethics from the University of Mary and a Certificate in Health Care Ethics from the National Catholic Bioethics Center, as well as degrees from LaSalle University and Florida State University. He lives in Cincinnati where he serves on the Pregnancy Center Plus (Cincinnati) and the New York State Right to Life advisory boards, and formerly served on the Right to Life of Cincinnati board of directors
