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 sorry that you did not have a God-fearing father. It appears that you are still in need of one.

You don't know Jack...or my father for that matter. Rigidity is probably one of the greatest evils..hubris...Pride goeth before the fall...etc., etc.

I do find it interesting that someone supporting morality is so much in favor of profanity.

Where, oh wise and rigid one, do you find me supporting profanity???? Hmmmm?

Oh, you can't, because I didn't...I simply suggested that you get over it. I repeat the suggestion now, with the addition of why don't you concentrate on the really important things here...you know...Terri, the right to live, etc.

I sent it. Do you expect I will get another email back from him? I will let you all know if I do.

"This is hard to believe. These people will NOT give up."

And why should they? Up until today they were committing murder in broad daylight under law. At this point they think they're entitled.

It doesn't necessarily mean he is fighting for the right to life. In light of what's been happening, it is more likely that this is about the 'right' to die.

I must admit that my first thought was he was counseling them about their right to die....but being a 'pollyanna' I tried to see the good side of him. Never again...

"I sent it. Do you expect I will get another email back from him?"

Probably not. Most of these people won't admit when they're wrong.

[CindyDawg]

Speaking of sent, I guess I need to eat crow and apologize to JB about "dems eating him alive in DC' if president post. I think it can wait 6 or 7 days though, don't yall?

Email update:

Hi All,
Terri was just moved to Morton plant hospital under Gov. Bush's orders... a Dr was standing by to insert an IV into Terri to HYDRATE her. And a medical evaluation will happen and she will be stabalised. At this time, right now 9:30 PM our time Michael's atty FELO'S is in court before a judge (unknown to me if it is Judge Greer at this time) hearing motion for an injuction against the Gov. orders...

Right now this is all I can tell you... but I will update you at least one more time later tonight, either way if I have more news or not... THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH for being so patient with me... God is good and we will all get through this together, Terri is in the BEST place she can be!!! AND God has her wrapped up in his loving protective arms!!!

[CindyDawg]

Thanks Julie. I was concerned.

[CindyDawg]

We are reading here that the injunction by the 2nd judge was also denied.

[JulieRNR21]

Speaker Byrd was on Fox tonight...he stated that the law passed can save Terri's life.....gave the impression that no court can supercede this law.

If you behave as liberals, i.e., trash other posters, your post will be pulled. Debate the message, not verbally abuse the poster. If we have to, this thread will be
pulled. I am not about to decide who posted what to who on a 2100 post thread, not to mention the 1000's of other Terri threads where someone said something to
someone. Act like conservatives.

O'Reilly Poll results:

68% yes for reinsertion of feeding tube.

BREAKING... IV HAS BEEN STARTED... TERRI WILL BE TURNED OVER TO A REAL GUARDIAN. Felos INJUNCTION WAS JUST DENIED BY JUDGE BAIRD. Please copy and paste this on every Terri thread you can find. Thanks, FV from the Front
