TALLAHASSEE, FL -- According to a news release sent by the Terry Schindler-Schiavo Foundation, Florida Speaker Johnnie Byrd will introduce "Terri's Bill" during the special session Monday.

The bill would put an immediate moratorium on all dehydration and starvation deaths in Florida. Meanwhile, supporters of Terri Schiavo showed up Sunday outside a Pinellas Park hospice.

Doctors say Schiavo has been in a vegetative state since complications from a heart attack in 1990. Her husband was granted a court order that her feeding tube be removed, saying his wife wouldn't have wanted to be kept alive.

(I'm reminded of a saying I heard.... "Anyone benefitting from someone's death should NOT be given a voice in the disposition of the patient.")

NOT on this legislature... I read it a few days ago.

UGH I lost the feed again!!!

Some guy asked if this bill would allow for the husband to go back to court and have the feeding tube removed again and his answer was "Yes." The guy looked annoyed at the answer though. (i am too but there isn't really enough time to reword this over and over)

"Is there a provision to prevent the HUSBAND from going to a court and getting a judge (GREER, anyone???) to issue an injunction to stop the feeding tube from being inserted again?"

"No, there is not."


GET THAT PROVISION, SENATORS, AND MAKE IT AIRTIGHT!!!!


OH NO, BACK TO THE BLUE SCREEN AGAIN!!
