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 am assuming that if they do this without working out the details, such as something preventing MS from going to a judge and getting an order to reremove the tube, that the bill will be moot. "

If he were a smart man in any way, he would just move to another state and slink off if this saves her life. This should make him realize that none of us are going to stop fighting for her and he might as well give up and go away.

Yes he would dare. I believe that he most definately would dare. He would be a desperate man. All of his plans would crumble and so I believe that he would dare.

It passed the committee this morning 10-2.

That says a lot about the ultimate outcome, I would think.
