Clearwater, FL (LifeNews.com) -- A local judge has ruled that the estranged husband of Terri Schiavo cannot starve her to death tomorrow and has set a hearing this week to determine if he should be prevent from doing so while her parents continue their legal battle to save her life.
Michael Schiavo intended to remove Terri's feeding tube on Tuesday afternoon once a Florida appeals court finalizes its decision against Terri's parents Bob and Mary Schindler.
The Schindlers has hoped to convince the court that starving Terri to death would violate her religious liberties. As a Catholic, the Schindlers contend Terri would not want to have her life ended.
The Schindlers are planning to take that fight to the Supreme Court and, while they appeal, they want Michael prevented from ending Terri's life.
On Monday afternoon, Circuit Court Judge George Greer ruled that Michael will have to wait until he can hold a hearing on whether to allow the stay preventing the starvation to continue. Judge Greer set a date for a hearing on Wednesday.
While Terri is not on artificial life support and can breathe on her own, she requires a gastric tube to provide her with food and water. Should that be removed, she will die from a painful 7 to 10-day long starvation death.
George Felos, the euthanasia advocate who is Michael's lead attorney, has instructed him to remove the feeding tube as soon as he is legally authorized.
In addition to their legal fight, the Schindlers have brought in pro-life activist Randall Terry to encourage grassroots support on Terri's behalf.
"If Michael Schiavo has Terri's feeding tube removed, we will respond with an avalanche of activism to save Terri from death by starvation," Terry said Monday afternoon. "Why is Michael determined to starve this woman? Why won't he just give Terri back to her parents?"

My first ever post to a Terri thread. Randall Terry might
not be everyone's idea of the ideal christian. I do know
that he's spent a great deal of his life actively working
for what he believes in. He has lost his home in his
fight against abortion, so the attack against him for fighting for Terri over abortion is just bogus. He and his
family have paid a high price for their faith.
"Why won't he just give her back to her parents?"
Very good question,he must have something to hide,that he is afraid of.
Has he ever been investigated for any involvement in her disability or accident that led to her disability?
For crying out loud the woman is not dying she is alive,with feelings that she can't voice because of what happened to her.
I am so mad at her husband and his lawyers that I want to scream.
I join in your prayer.
In Jesus name .Amen
Get as many people as you can to get as many people as they can to raise their voices up and take actions to save Terri. Call those officials. Protective custody for Terri Schiavo.. investigate the perpetrators trying to get away with murder. Be tenacious. Never give up!
