more on Terri Schiavo
The latest news from "Life Matters!"
An excerpt........Reuters reports today that the Florida Supreme Court has refused to reconsider its 7-0 ruling overturning Terri's Law, a state statute supported by Gov. Jeb Bush that put a halt to the forced fatal starvation of Terri Schindler Schiavo by her unfaithful husband.
In a 4-3 opinion, the court rejected a request by Bush's attorneys to rehear the case. The court ruled unanimously last month against the hastily crafted law that prevented Michael Schiavo from withholding food and water from his wife, Terri. She has been on life support since suffering a heart attack in 1990.
It is not known what action Gov. Bush will take next to continue to protect Terri's life from Florida's killer courts. According to Bush spokeswoman Jill Bratina, "Our lawyers are looking at the legal options before us. We will be looking to make a decision on our next step very soon," possibly today.
Among the options being weighed is an appeal to the United States Supreme Court in the hope that it will at least buy timeāthe best that Terri's loving family, the Schindlers, and Terri's defenders have been able to do to date......
