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.

omy i am crying now!

Noooooo!!! Judge Greer would still have jurisdiction!!! As far as I can tell, it looks like the bill just specifies that the judge will appoint a guardian to make recommendations to the Governor. But, the Governor doesn't have to accept those recommendations. I hope that's the right interpretation!
To: shezza
Bless you, Lord God almighty, who was and is and is to come. Bless your holy name! Thank you for letting this pass through the hands of the lawmakers. Bless Terri, keep her, and save her!

A couple minutes ago Scarsdale said it would probably end up in the Florida Supreme Court.
But for now, Terri gets water, food and a guardian ad litem!

It's a law now and Jeb is signing it now! If it's not to late, she's saved for now!
To: All
BILL ON ITS WAY TO PINELLAS COUNTY NOW!!!! Agents of death...STEP DOWN!!!!!!!!!!
To: PleaseNoMore
Amen !
After all this, I don't think Terri will become anyone's punching bag again....
First things first, but when Terri recovers to the point where she can communicate, think of the powerful prolife message that will result !!
