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.

The last guy said she would at least get to die with dignity, oh, really?! Starve and dehydrate to death?! That is so dignified!

[windchime]

This guy has bought the ENTIRE Felos/Schiavo talking points.

[Lovergirl]

Optimum treatment for his wife?????

[honeygrl]

This guy was talking about what a devoted husband he thinks Schiavo is yet he never brought up the girlfriend and kids!!

[Humidston]

When you are boinking another woman and have two kids by her, YOU HAVE MOVED ON, Bucko!!!!!!!!!

[JulieRNR21]

He's only reading from Michael's side of the story....what about the adultery & 2 kids....no rehabilitation therapy.....unbelievable!

[lewistopher]

Guy that's up now says michael has become a therapist and has always made sure she received optimum care. I guess these pols weren't given the affidavits of various doctors and nurses. "when is that b---h going to die?"

[Krodg]

He got lots of emails too, but he doesn't make his decisions based on email..

Sounds like he has been listening to my Pres....'I don't make decisions based on polls'.

[Humidston]

Sen Carlton up now.

[HiTech RedNeck]

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.

Such as no rehab or you get fired

[iowamomforfreedom]

"for me to vote yes on this bill means that I know better than the courts. I can't do that. Flies in the face of a court's careful considered look..."

And he's repub. I'm going to be sick.

[lonevoice]

Sen Carlton (?) up now. She says the bill isn't benign...it strips courts of their const obligation to render judgements. Unconstitutional...

Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;


**** Eph 5:28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.

**** Eph 5:29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:

Husbands are not supposed to beat, strangle, inject with insulin, or starve/dehydrate their wives, all of which Micahel is doing, has done, or at the very least, is STRONGLY suspected of doing.

[Humidston]

She's against it too. "Conflict of separation of powers."

YADA YADA YADA...

[Lovergirl]

I wonder if this bill is gonna be passed.

[honeygrl]

I hate to say this, but I'm really not sure this is going to pass. :(

[Ohioan from Florida]

It's no wonder I detest politicians so much!

[iowamomforfreedom]

This is looking very bad....

Just the opposite of the house.

[JulieRNR21]

Can't believe this is my Senator speaking....Carlton will never get another penny from me....BTW she is a Republican.

[mtbopfuyn]

when is that b---h going to die?"

Who is that guy? We need to remember his name.
