Quote from above article: The Republican-controlled Senate health committee early Friday requested that Terri Schiavo and her husband, Michael, appear at a hearing March 28 on health care for "non-ambulatory persons." The move to include Terri Schiavo, who is in a vegetative state, was meant to block the removal of her tube, at least until the hearing is held.
In a press release, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, himself a doctor, noted that federal law "protects witnesses called before official Congressional committee proceedings from anyone who may obstruct or impede a witness' attendance or testimony."
My, they certainly are pulling out all the stops, aren't they?
