Six days after Terri Schindler-Schiavo's feeding tube was removed on court order - sentencing her to a slow and painful death - the Florida House of Representatives, influenced by a massive and sustained outpouring of support for the 39-year-old brain-disabled woman, voted tonight to give Gov. Jeb Bush the power to order Terri's feeding tube re-inserted.

MSNBC is showing the celebration on the Hospice lawn. Meanwhile, Michael is seeking an injunction to stop the feeding tube from being reinserted.

RE: Brain-damaged woman to resume tube-feeding, Oct. 22
Florida legislators may allow feeding tube to be reinserted, Oct. 21


October 22, 2003


Dear Viewpoints Editor:

As an advocate of religious freedom, I applaud the State of Florida for intervening to save the life of Terri Schiavo (“Florida legislators may allow feeding tube to be reinserted” Oct. 21). This probate case represents more than just the right to life or the right to die, but the widespread abuse of guardianships and legal authority to commit crimes against elderly or disabled persons without adequate legal defense.

The Democrats who argued against the state overruling the courts should equally protest the abuse of court authority to override federal and state laws. Without the system of checks and balances by the other two branches of government, the judiciary could easily have gotten away with murder. George Felos and other attorneys for the guardian clearly exploited this case, as well as the family and the law, as a discredit to the right-to-die movement and a shame to the legal profession.
