The U.S. House passed legislation late yesterday to delay removal of the feeding tube that is keep- ing alive a brain-damaged woman whose husband has been given permission by a state court to allow her to die.
The House bill, passed on a voice vote, would move such a case to federal court. Federal judges have twice turned down efforts by Schiavo's parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, to move the case out of Florida courts, citing a lack of jurisdiction.
Republicans in the U.S. Senate are introducing a separate bill to give Schiavo and her family standing in federal court, and they hope it can be debated today, a GOP aide said.

Cut off food and water and then watch her die?
I used to marvel at the way some "fish" would school up and all move in unison, in the same direction,but often straight into the mouth of some larger predators that knew how they moved and were waiting to gulp them up. They were following the leader, going wherever the leader went and all acting in concert.
I sometimes wonder if humans do the same, in some strange similarity of thought.
I dunno, I am a non conformist. I have been one for as long as I can recall a memory. I cannot swim in schools. I always go a different way it seems, from the others, but I never get swallowed up by a lie or a fraud.
Just never do.............I wonder why that is:-)
I just read in the Michael Schiavo transcript on ABC that he is not getting any bills for Terri's care. Apparently he has wasted all of the money that he got for Terri's support and care. Michael and Felos are bedfellows when it comes to spending the money that Terri did have for her care. This alone is reason for the state to dump him as her guardian. So read that transcript.
Why can't we get the damn TROLLS away from here?? ( that was not meant for you, btw). They seem to be everywhere on the Terri threads for the main reason to disrupt. It is really getting bad. WE NEED AN IGNORE BUTTON ON THIS SITE.
You were not, repeat not, wrong. The stupid fish is not the one to follow.
You are not evil, your questions just touch a very raw nerve after what we have seen being done to Terri and the fear of what this means in our future if it continues.
But, don't fret, I would not want the truth to in any way upset the pity party.
Carry on!
The judges in America have truly lost their common sense.
Hope you feel real cute talking about your mother the way you are.
What is the matter with you - are you just trying to incite reactions from all?
Sorry your mother got sick and died. We all go through that with our parents.
Now - enough with offing people when you decide they must go!
...The suffering before death may very well be part of God's plan. Since we don't know, we need to stay out of it, least we muck things up.
.....
How right you are.
Of course, the wannabee gods on this thread resent that you know. They know better and will continue to know better until they face that God someday.
From one Irish to another, what are you afraid of? You do know being Irish means fearless?
A woman in worse shape than Terri comes back from extreme debilitation. And tells us: she KNEW what was happening--even in the worst of circumstances.
Let us know, do you want to be physcho or phucko
Clancy,
So what, both dead Moms?
Show me a little Irish?
" You are striking out at me, OK.."
I am not striking out at you. I am striking out at the school of though that you seem to personify; that any of us has the wisdom to know what's right for another person. We simply don't.
"Let us know"
Who is this "us", you got a mouse in your pocket?
Because I do not wish to live in a society that has a total disrespect of others and their rights.
How very cold to have people condemning the deformed, the weak, the unwanted, the unneeded, the elderly, the sick, the poor based on their "elitist" "godlike" decision process.
Why do we so thoroughly dislike the liberals? Because they seek to make us part of a non-thinking society where the good of the whole outweighs the rights of the individual. Exactly the kind of society promoted on this thread by those mentioning "who will be paying", "why would they want to live"?
I do not intend to sit quietly by and allow radical judges, elitist liberals, to make decisions on who gets to live in America. Just because they think they are god-surrogates, does not mean I agree they are god-surrogates.
