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.

Sen Sebesta up now. Says they should "error in favor of the patient". He's talking about Judge Greer...he says Greer is a close personal friend of his. Oh no!!
To: lonevoice
Yes!! Sebesta says he will support the bill!
To: tutstar
The guy speaking now is a "friend" of Judge Greer.
But is going to support the bill,
To: JulieRNR21
Sebesto:
Who do we believe? Err in the way of the patient. This is not a critcism of the court system. Greer is a fine man. Was a tough decision. This is a hole in the court system that this bill will fill.
HE'S SUPPORTING IT!

OK to tell us what the word really was: "bitch." Likening her to a female dog that produces puppies. Man that is sho' lovin' aint it???? At the ASPCA that is. Perhaps that is his mindset...no children by the wife but girlfriend has at least one child by him (conflicting stories on whether second child has been born). The man does have a huge ego problem...
Did Terri and Michael try to have a family?

"let us keep her till God says it's time for her to go..."
WHAT A GREAT SENATOR!!!
This quote could be a motto of the anti-euthanasia movement.
A beautiful and profound statement!

I just read it. I had heard about it before. Thanks, I will put that with the rest of my stuff on Greer. There's collusion somewhere. I still don't know enough of their corrupt system to figure it all out yet, but I agree something ain't right....
