Florida Supreme Court refuses new hearing in Schiavo |
|
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- The Florida Supreme Court on Thursday declined a request from Gov. Jeb Bush to reconsider its decision striking down a state law designed to save the life of a severely brain-damaged woman.
The state's high-court ruled 7-0 last month that Bush and state lawmakers overstepped their authority with the year-old law ordering that Terri Schiavo's feeding tube be reinserted six days after her husband had it removed so she could die.
Bush's attorney asked the court for a rehearing, which was rejected in a one-page ruling issued Thursday in Tallahassee.
Lower courts had ruled that Michael Schiavo - who says his wife never wanted to be kept alive artificially - could have the tube removed.More at link: http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/F/FL_BRAIN_DAMAGED_WOMAN_FLOL-?SITE=FLPET&SECTION=STATE&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT
