He said that, "We have outlined for the Governor some of these facts, and confirmed his Constitutional authority to act. The fact that he has chosen to confuse the public by referring to the civil case, completely ignoring the request that we presented, reveals a lack of moral courage and political will. We expect the Governor to do the right thing, and so far, he has refused to do so."

The group Concerned Women for America has also spoken out, severely criticizing the Supreme Court for their denial today to hear Schiavo's case.
Jan LaRue, CWA's chief counsel said that, "It's tragic that the Supreme Court's 'evolving standards of decency' haven't evolved enough to protect Terri Schiavo…You'd think that a Court that prohibits states from executing retarded, convicted murderers would prohibit the state ordered death of an innocent woman when there's so little evidence of her wishes."
"How could any court find it clear and convincing evidence sufficient to order a woman's death by starvation?" she asked, "If this satisfies constitutional due process, God help us."
