'tis wonderful that the FL legislature and J. Bush have addressed a flaw in the legal system and restored her sustinance.

'tis horrifying that FL law permits a judge to order the murder of an innocent, harmless citizen.

Doing the same thing to a dog would get you jailed for cruelty...but it can be done to a person? WTF?

[P.O.E.]

There's no happy answer to this situation - but at least now there's hope that she will survive and perhaps revive somewhat (ya never know). And a cruel death by slow starvation is avoided.

But only prayer can determine what's best for Terri - I think it's beyond us humans.

Never,never doubt that the power of God can work among us today. We have witnessed it.

Thank you, God - Please grant her health.

Thank you, Governor for your swift execution of the powers you obtained today.

Awesome!! This is such great news! God bless Jeb and those that voted for this.

This will end up in the Florida Supreme Court, and probably soon. At issue will be if the legislature has the authority to execute such a law. In the absence if direct exclusion based on protected rights the courts will be hard pressed to overturn this law, as the constitutional authority claimed by the legislature and governor is the kind of broad authority and range the liberals would expect to enjoy if they were in power. That however does not mean that the FLSC will not (once again) empower themselves to make sweeping legal arguments in writing incredibly narrow decisions that suit a particular political cause.

Again - pray for Terri's rapid response to therapy, as this fight is not yet over.

B. Effective immediately, all medical facilities and personnel providing medical care for Theresa Schiavo, and all those acting in concert or participation with them, are hereby directed to immediately provide nutrition and hydration to Theresa Schiavo by means of a gastronomy tube, or by any other method determined appropriate in the reasonable judgment of a licensed physician.

Best news yet - they don't have to wait to intubate her. Ringers IV, statt.

I would like to thank the following for making this happen:

1. GOD








2. Everyone who prayed and lit a fire under those who had the power to change it

3. Jeb Bush

4. Florida congresscritters

Story at TampaBayOnline (TBO.com):

Fla. Gov. Orders Feeding Tube Reinserted

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Invoking a law rushed through the Legislature only an hour earlier, Gov. Jeb Bush ordered a feeding tube reinserted Tuesday into a brain-damaged woman at the center of one of the nation's longest and most bitter right-to-die battles.

The bill was designed to save the life of Terri Schiavo, whose parents have fought for several years to keep her alive. Her husband, Michael Schiavo, says she would rather die.

The woman was taken by ambulance later Tuesday from the hospice where she had gone without food or water for six days. She was to be given fluids at a Clearwater hospital before again being fed through a tube.

Terri Schiavo's feeding tube was removed by court order at her husband's insistence last Wednesday, and doctors said the 39-year-old woman would die within a week to 10 days without food and water.

The Senate voted 23-15 for the legislation, and the House passed the final version 73-24 only minutes later. Bush signed it into law and issued the order just more than an hour later.

After the Senate's vote, a cheer went up among about 80 protesters outside Schiavo's hospice in Pinellas Park.

"We are just ecstatic," Bob Schindler said after Bush told him he would issue the order. "It's restored my belief in God."

Suzanne Carr, Terri Schiavo's sister, called the development "a miracle, an absolute miracle." Terri's mother broke down crying when she heard the news.

If Bush were with me right now, I'd plant a huge wet one on him! Thank you Jeb Bush!

[ATOMIC_PUNK]

15 DAYS OR ? E. This order shall be effective until such time as the Governor revokes it.

COOL

[tiki]

I got one too. I think it was very courteous of him to reply to have his staff reply. I know he's a politician but he DID get the job done. If I lived in Florida I'd sure vote for him anytime.

[Salvation]

God bless Jeb Bush!

[Salvation]

God bless Jeb Bush and the Florida legislators!
