ANTI-LIFE CROWD - Maybe it's a subliminal death wish?

Is anyone other than me noticing the desperation amongst the left-leaning, Culture of Death crowd?

Maureen Dowd's comments on MSNBC this morning (reported on Laura Ingraham's morning show) is an excellent example. Why would an otherwise intelligent woman, in the face of enormous public support for Terri Schiavo's right to live, come out publicly accusing Republicans of using Terri's case to grandstand? And the whiney-strident tones of Catherine Crier on Fox News this weekend were especially pitiful.

And the LA Times? (HT: OkieBoy @ OKIE on the LAM) ...

Republican leaders, eyeing (sic) an opportunity to appease their radical right-wing constituents, convened Congress over the weekend to shamelessly interject the federal government into the wrenching Schiavo family dispute. They brushed aside our federalist system of government, which assigns the resolution of such disputes to state law, and state judges. Even President Bush flew back from his ranch to Washington on Sunday to be in on what amounts to a constitutional coup d’etat.

Funny, I thought the Republicans had a majority in the House but not the whole house ... the vote was 203-58, only 53 Dems opposed it. They just don't seem to get it, do they?

Or maybe they do, as OkieBoy rightly points out, the LA Times real concern is with child killers not the Schiavo case ...

This case, headed like a bullet to the Supreme Court, must have most of the justices wishing for a Kevlar vest. The case is a marker for other battles [such as, doctor assisted suicide]. Most painfully, about abortion. (emphasis mine)
