More from the National Review Corner...
This. Something else I hadn't seen until now.
Conservatives are nowhere near monolithic on this issue. Scroll down a bit on the Corner for more.
On Instapundit, Glenn describes conservative political concerns, which I share. From the first link:
The forums for matters such as the Schiavo case are state courts, upholding state laws. Conservatives, especially religious conservatives -- who want Roe v. Wade overturned and the issue of abortion moved back to state legislatures and courts -- should understand this better than any other group of Americans.
Conservatives, of course, recognize their hypocrisy. And they're offering up weak rationalizations, like this one from The Wall Street Journal in an editorial Monday: "We'd have more sympathy for this argument if the same liberals who are complaining about the possibility of the federal courts reviewing Mrs. Schiavo's case felt as strongly about restraining the federal judiciary when it comes to abortion, homosexuality, and other social issues they don't want to trust to local communities."
In other words: Our opponents are hypocrites, so we can be, too.
No honest conservative should be anything other than at the very least, conflicted on this.
