did they run that video before on CNN?

So, while Jeb did in the end DO something, the question remains, why did it take so long???

Aw, give it up already!

Have you no idea that assembling a special session of a state legislature and writing a bill like this and getting it passed in so short a time is a miracle?

[sweetliberty]

Amen to that ES!

The ice is still thin but at least it can be gingerly walked on now. What would make ultimate sense is to require ALL end of life directives to be written, or multiple witnessed by impartial parties, after a certain date.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Typical CNN coverage (from what I remember).

People 'could' amend their previous views/posts about Jeb, but apology isn't warranted, imho. It took to dang long to call an emergency session.



I concur wholeheartily to your post.FWIW

Best, Will

You both raise valid concerns, and I hope somebody smarter than I can try to answer them :).

I might guess that with MS's golden goose cut off from his control (and we can hope criminal investigations landing on his plate), that he will finally divorce Terri, making way for the Schindler's to assume guardianship.

Well, the session was scheduled to meet on account of a biotech firm that FL is attempting to lure with financial incentives. Wouldn't it be fitting if those folks also came up with the device or pill or whatever that let Terri tell what Hubby Dearest did to her?

Just came on line a few minutes ago and heard the wonderful news. Thank you God, to you goes all the glory!
And thank you Freepers, you are truly wonderful. Keep praying for Terri and her family, and please don't forget to thank Jeb and the Fl legislature.

"Have you no idea that assembling a special session of a state legislature and writing a bill like this and getting it passed in so short a time is a miracle?"

Well said!

And the bit about "Aw, give it up already!" Also well said!

Why there are some people around here who are hell-bent on sabotaging a pro-life, conservative Republican that just saved Terri's life, I'll never understand.

MSNBC just said Jeb just ordered feeding tube be reinserted NOW!!

[Right_in_Virginia]

And they [CNN] kept saying Terri is in a "coma," while they showed the video of her blinking and smiling!

Sounds like the CNN "news" scroll should read ~~"Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain...."

What idiots they are!

"Wouldn't it be fitting if those folks also came up with the device or pill or whatever that let Terri tell what Hubby Dearest did to her?"

Yes !!! - That would truly be the icing on the cake.

[samiam1972]

So many good things happening today. Ah, the power of prayer!!!!
Praying for her recovery right now!

[HiTech RedNeck]

Well, to God be the glory foremost. Jeb at first had thrown up his hands at Greer's order. I wonder if he even anticipated the legislature would even pass such a bill at all, let alone give it as warm a welcome as it did?

[trustandobey]

Hope they are standing beside her ready! We're still praying Terri, and look forward to the day when we can come and say hello and thank you for what you have done for this nation!

[concerned about politics]

MSNBC just said Jeb just ordered feeding tube be reinserted NOW!!

Good. I was hoping they would hurry.

"Keep praying for Terri and her family, and please don't forget to thank Jeb and the Fl legislature."

I wouldn't count on that last part. Most thanks around here goes to God, very little thanks at all for those who work God's will.

Personally, I don't live in FL so can't express my thanks with a vote, but from my distant vantage point, they get my HUGE thanks.

That's the liveliest coma I've ever seen.
