In my opinion, leftist liberals that advocate for saving Terri Schiavo are nothing more than cowardly opportunists who are beginning to see the long-term (and hopefully irreversible) damage the recent litany of ghoulish Democrat excesses are having on their camp of killers with the average man and woman. They've been saddled with the worst elements of our post-modern culture of death, including pro-abortion, pro-homosexual (AIDS), pro-euthanasia, pro-human cloning, anti-religious, anti-property rights, anti-American, indeed, anti-anything that derives from a sense of true human compassion and respect for life and liberty. And this includes those who, after advancing the worst excesses of the loony left for so many generations, now appear to be on the sane and rational side. And I mean people like the Hildabeast, Jackson, and Frank (of all people). I wouldn't trust these "conversions" to be sincere any more than I'd trust a snake in the grass!
Not Hentoff: he's always been solidly pro-life.
Nat has been pro-life for 20 years and has taken a lot of flack for it.
