If "we" means the democrats, then please explain this statement from Minority leader Harry Reid (D-Nev):

Reid Statement on Terri Schiavo

Thursday, March 17, 2005

“I am pleased Senator Frist and I were able to pass the bill that protects the life of Terri Schiavo by allowing her parents to go to federal court.

If the House Republicans refuse to pass our bipartisan bill, they bear responsibility for the consequences.”

So who the is we, anyway? The millions of married spouses who have certain civil rights granted by the legal definition of marriage? Maybe you'd like to sign over your wife's medical treatment decisions to her parents even if they wouldn't do as she wishes, but not everyone wants to do that.
