Terri Schiavo's parents continue their
fight
(Note: Typical language deception, from the old "vegetative
state" chant to the "right-to-die" the the euthanasia
death merchants are obsessed with. Judge Greer appears to still be
taking orders from Mr. Schiavo's attorney and pusher of euthanasia,
George Felos.)

Miami, Florida (AP) - The parents of a woman in the center of a
right-to-die dispute plan to continue fighting to keep her alive
despite a recent legal setback.
Bob and Mary Schindler were dealt a blow last week when the Florida Supreme Court struck down a law rushed through the Legislature last fall to reconnect the feeding tube of their daughter Terri Schiavo. The court says lawmakers and Governor Jeb Bush, who pushed for the law, had NO right to get involved in the case. A judge has determined Terri Schiavo is in a "persistent vegetative state." The Schindlers' attorney, David Gibbs, told CNN's Larry King last night that legal scholars warned them the law could be considered unconstitutional, and this week's hearing will take a different tact. The Schindlers' attorneys will try to convince Circuit Judge George Greer to order a new trial to determine if Terri Schiavo would choose to have her feeding tube removed after recent statements by Pope John Paul the Second. Schiavo is a Roman Catholic. At a conference in March, the pope said people in vegetative states have a right to health care and nutrition.
