Bush Role in End-of-Life Dispute as Governor Now 2016 Issue

Posted

MIAMI (AP) —Jeb Bush has released emails from his time as governor as he heads toward a run for president.

The subject of many of the emails was Terri Schiavo.

Bush's effort to stop Michael Schiavo from removing his brain-damaged wife's feeding tube was a defining moment of Bush's time in office.

Bush is a devout Catholic, and he sided with Terri Schiavo's parents in the end-of-life dispute.

Michael Schiavo said his wife didn't want to be kept alive artificially.

Now that Bush is heading toward a run for president, Michael Schiavo has re-emerged — saying he'll campaign against Bush and remind voters about his late wife's case.
