Partisan Hypocrisy: Terri Schiavo, Conviction, and Politics

Rich Lowry at National Review Online on those who have attacked Republican "hyprocricy" for the GOP-led congressional action intended to restore Terri Schiavo's feeding tube:

If it is disorienting to see Republicans scrambling for federal intervention, at least they are acting on their deepest pro-life convictions — life is to be treasured in whatever form it takes, and preserving it is a paramount value. The starkest inconsistencies are on the other side, on the part of liberals who ordinarily support the federalization of everything, but can't bear the thought of a federal judge reviewing the facts of the Schiavo case to determine whether or not she should be starved to death.
