Florida's Governor Jeb Bush weighed in early on the controversy, seeking to protect Terri from her husband and all those right-to-die fanatics who had mounted an unholy crusade to kill Terri Schiavo and use her death to advance their cause. After the Legislature passed and the governor signed what came to be known as Terri's Law, the courts stepped in and quashed it as violative of the Florida constitution, and the matter was back to square one.

Contrary to what the author of this article has written here, this was not Jeb Bush's first involvement in the case. In 1999, Bush actually signed into law a bill passed by the Florida legislature in which nutrition and hydration were defined as extraordinary medical care that does not have to be maintained for all patients as a matter of course.

That law gave Michael Schiavo all the "ammunition" he needed to starve Terri to death.

Not doubting you - but do you have a link? I havent seen that one.

That law gave Michael Schiavo all the "ammunition" he needed to starve Terri to death.
And I'm sure he did that on purpose, too. It was a conspiracy, right?
