Thanks to everyone who has followed and taken action in this story. You may have noticed the banner for Terrisfight.org is missing at the top of Powerblog. IT's because the website has been so overloaded with traffic it shut down. I know they are working on it and I continue to get update via email and fax. In will post information as it becomes available. Hat's off to Gov. Bush in Flordia who once again stepped in to help Terri. Below is the latest and if you would like more information on what you can do to help please read the previous posts.
"The administration of Gov. Jeb Bush, already forcefully rebuked by the Florida Supreme Court for trying to override judicial orders and block the removal of a brain-damaged woman's feeding tubes, launched itself back into the case Wednesday by asking for a delay to investigate abuse allegations. The surprise request by Florida's Department of Children and Families to intervene in the case of Terri Schiavo stirred an already emotional atmosphere. A woman broke with courtroom decorum and called out "Amen" when an attorney for Schiavo's parents, who are trying to stop her husband from removing the feeding tubes, announced in Pinellas County Circuit Court that the department has asked for a delay. "
"Attorneys for the Schindlers have raised half a dozen legal issues that they say must be resolved before a decision about pulling the feeding tubes is made. Among them are arguments that Michael Schiavo should be removed as guardian, that Pope John Paul II's labeling of euthanasia as "a sin" should be weighed by the courts because Terri Schiavo was a practicing Catholic, and that new scientific developments suggest she might be "minimally conscious," rather than in a vegetative state.
