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.

Bennet says that nobody has ever said if I ever find myself in a PVS I want to be kept alive. He's against the bill.

I shouldn't laugh at a time like this, but this made chuckle.

He just bet his soul on the statement that Michael Schiavo really was told by Terri that she wouldn't want to live this way! Guess he has sold his soul to the devil.

I suspect that's a lie too.

Sen. Alexander is up. He says if he gets in this shape he doesn't want to continue. He's against the bill.

JD Alexander:

fundamental right for a person to determine her destiny...
after 10 years in pvs...
court has reviewed this...
Terri told a lot of people she didn't want to live like that - WHAT???

No kidding. He's talking about how much MS has cared for his wife, never hesitated to "annoy the nursing staff" to assure she's received the proper treatment.
