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?"

Petition Signed!
Yep...they'd committed a crime against God by promoting a false (and murderous) religion. What crime agaisnt God has Terri committed?
If they would just give her her voice back I'm sure she would tell the jerks trying to kill her to buzz off.
You may understand how Elijah felt when he mocked the prophets of Baal, but you don't know much about this case. Our "wailing and carrying on" helped keep Terri alive for more than another year.
Live and Let Live.
You'd best leave. Your heart is in the WRONG place.
Ditto.
Which e-mail do you send to?
Worth repeating.
Exactly right!
Haha...yes, thank you Holy Spirit.
I agree...that would be terrible and I don't know how I would ever handle it. What is her husband afraid of anyway? HE says Terri told him she wouldn't want to live this way. Does he have proof? Did she sign any kind of document saying this? If so, why hasn't her husband brought it forward for review? Her parents say as a Catholic she would not want this to happen. How come the court doesn't believe them? Isn't her husband's story "hearsay"????
Bump!!! BTTT. It is absolutely maddening that the media doesn't realize the damange they do to this innocent woman by misrepresenting her condition to the ignorant masses. It's absolutely dispicable.
She never gave informed consent. It's lies made up by Michael and one of his brother and a sister-in-law. Their stories were come up with 10 years after the fact. Absolutely unreal that Greer says clear and convincing.. It was never informed consent.
Why doesn't Michael Schiavo just step out of the picture once and for all and let Terri's parents take care of her. Wouldn't that be the most simple solution? Why does he INSIST she DIE? Why doesn't Michael step back and let the Schiavos have their daughter back AND...the money as well so they could care for her? What would it matter to Michael? Obviously, he has a girlfriend and two children so why would he be so opposed to Terri staying alive? Hmmmm, let's see now. Could it be that he loves her? Nahh. Could it be that he truly cares about Terri's wishes...the ones only HE seems to know about? Could it be the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$??? OR is he just plain afraid if she were kept alive, given the love and care and medicine and therapy and all that kind of thing that one day she would talk and perhaps Terri talking would not be such a good thing? Oh Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
How did Terri end up this way by the way? Hmmmmmm?
I called them, but email would be great too.
We have Fox recorded, and play it back to skip commenrcials. I believe it was the Neil Cavuto show, because I was watching it on delay.
I haven't been watching the last hour so I don't know if they fixed it.
Right on! Right on!
If God doesn't need us or our participation in the accomplishment of His Will for Terri, then he doesn't need YOU to rebuke US.
Then, why all your waste of bandwidth?
If you don't have time to call all of the numbers, please at least call one number (or e-mail). Calling is better than sending an e-mail, but please at least do something.
