Congress Gets Behind Terri Schiavo. Compromise Reached.

Posted by Taste of Liberty at 5:47 pm. Filed under: General

It looks like the House and Senate may have reached a compromise on legislation which would restore Terri Schiavo’s feeding tube.

From WND

Congress has hammered out a compromise today that will “restore nutrition and hydration to Miss Schiavo,” in the words of House Majority Leader Tom DeLay.

We’ll have to see how it plays out.

UPDATE: Trey Jackson has the video of the press conference announcing the bill. And Florida Cracker has a link to a parable told by Senator Daniel Webster in Tallahassee:

State Sen. Daniel Webster pleaded for a last-minute reversal Friday, waving a new $100 bill at his colleagues then dropping it on the Senate floor.

“Put it on the floor, smash on it a little bit, now it’s all dirty and soiled and it’s wadded up. You know what? It’s still worth $100,” he said. “Some of our lives are like crisp $100 bills. Some lives are a little crumpled up. Some lives are soiled and it may not be the life that we’d like to have. But there’s life.”

UPDATE: It looks like the bill will initiate and be approved by the House tomorrow (Sunday), be returned to the Senate for approval and then sent on to the President for his signature. It may be Monday or Tuesday before Terri’s tube would be reinserted providing the Democrats don’t try and obstruct passage of the bill.
