[Ohioan from Florida]

Clearwater, FL August 30, 2003: On Saturday, August 30, 2003, a Federal District Court Judge in Tampa scheduled an emergency hearing in the case of Terri Schindler-Schiavo, a disabled woman whose husband has petitioned the courts to end her life by the removal of her feeding tube. This hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, September 2, 2003 at the Federal Courthouse in Tampa.

Thanks for your update! Let's all continue to hold Terri up in our prayers! Keep hanging on, Terri!

Who is the federal judge presiding, and who nominated him? If he is a Chiles-Askew-Graham man, we can expect little help.

Is there a role for Ashcroft here? He says he is prolife. Now he could prove his credential if time permits.

I am terrified that the poor creature will not live to Tuesday afternoon.

It is my understanding that she is back at the hospice, as the hospital could not admit her without Michael Schiavo's permission. He says "let the bitch die now."
