Although Judge Greer denied five

Although Judge Greer denied five motions from Terri Schiavo's family including allowing her to die at home and to be buried instead of cremated, he did grant four including allowing her family to take pictures of Terri (yes, the Schindler's actually had to ask to take pictures of their own daughter). He is still considering whether to allow a test that would see if Terri could swallow and eat food on her own. Because there is so much to consider.

Why wouldn't you want to see if the woman you continually rule to die is able to survive without the very thing you keep trying to remove?

The biggest news though is what is to come. March 8th. Tomorrow begins the Florida Legislative Session where bill HB 701 is expected to come up quite quickly. This bill would assume that all disabled patients who can not speak for themselves would not want to be starved to death. This bill would save Terri.

If you are in Florida, please contact your local state legislature and let them know you support HB 701. Please continue to keep in your thoughts and prayers for Terri and her family.
