Terri Schiavo has entered her 12th full day without food or water, Jesse Jackson a prominent civil rights leader prayed with her parents and joined conservatives in calling for state lawmakers to order her feeding tube reinserted.
The Rev Jesse Jackson, was invited by Schiavo’s parents to meet with activists yesterday outside Schiavo’s hospice. His arrival was greeted by some applause and cries of “This is about civil rights!”
“I feel so passionate about this injustice being done, how unnecessary it is to deny her a feeding tube, water, not even ice to be used for her parched lips,” he said. ”This is a moral issue and it transcends politics and family disputes.”
Jackson’s visit provided an emotional boost to Schiavo’s parents and siblings, who have maintained that Schiavo would want to be kept alive. Her husband, Michael Schiavo, insists he is carrying out her wishes by having the feeding tube pulled
Here is the answer to the prayer. Federal Appeals Court OKs Schiavo Review
IN ATLANTA - The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals early Wednesday have said they agreed to consider a petition by Terri Schiavo's parents for a new hearing on whether to reconnect their severely brain-damaged daughter's feeding tube.
They ruled without comment on Terri Schiavo's 12th day without nourishment. Last week, they ruled twice against Schiavo's parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, who are trying to keep her alive.
This time in seeking a new hearing late Tuesday, attorneys for Schiavo's parents argued that the District Court "committed plain error when it reviewed only the state court case and outcome history."
Now, the court will consider the request for a new hearing, before they only considered whether the previous Florida court rulings have met legal standards under state law, which is what federal courts have done in the case until now.
There have been no comments by the Shindlers Attorneys.
Terri Schiavo's feeding tube was removed March 18 on a court order sought by her husband, who contends she wouldn't want to be kept alive artificially.
Doctors have said Terri Schiavo, 41, would probably die within a week or two of the tube being removed. She suffered catastrophic brain damage in 1990 when her heart stopped for several minutes because of a chemical imbalance apparently brought on by an eating disorder.
The Doctors were wrong. Terri is still alive and we can save her Please post a prayer.

Doctors have said Terri Schiavo, 41, would probably die within a week or two of the tube being removed. She suffered catastrophic brain damage in 1990 when her heart stopped for several minutes because of a chemical imbalance apparently brought on by an eating disorder.
Terri's dad Bob Schindler described his daughter as "failing" following his visit Tuesday.
"She still looks pretty darn good under the circumstances," Schindler said. "You can see the impact of no food and water for 12 days. Her bodily functions are still working. We still have her."
Federal courts were given jurisdiction to review Schiavo's case after Republicans in Congress pushed through unprecedented emergency legislation aimed at prolonging Schiavo's life. But federal courts at two levels rebuffed the family.
Mary Schindler later made an appeal to Michael Schiavo: "Michael and Jodi, you have your own children. Please, please give my child back to me." Michael Schiavo and fiancee Jodi Centonze have two children, born long after Terri Schiavo's collapse.
The Schindlers have claimed the dehydrated woman is being denied comfort measures such as ice chips for her dry mouth or balm for chapped lips,
First lady Laura Bush also commented on the case Tuesday, saying the government was right to have intervened on behalf of Schiavo.
"It is a life issue that really does require government to be involved," Bush said aboard a plane bound for Afghanistan, where she was to promote education and women's rights.
A man was tackled to the ground today by officers when he tried to storm into the hospice, police said. He became the 47th protester arrested since the feeding tube was removed March 18. The man had two bottles of water with him but did not reach the hospice door, police said.
