In response to the legal battle over the removal of the feeding tube of [[Terri Schiavo]], Weldon introduced legislation to force review of the case by the federal government. Weldon, who has a medical degree, believed that Schiavo was not in a vegetative state. He supported his belief saying, "She responds to verbal stimuli, she attempts to vocalize, she tracks with her eyes, she emotes, she attempts to kiss her father."<ref>Aimie Parnes, [http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2005/mar/12/ndn_amie_parnes__lawmaker_races_clock_in_attempt_t/ link "Lawmaker races clock in attempt to save Schiavo"], ''Naples News'', March 12, 2005</ref>
