That's because Democrats are split on this one; many voted for that bill. I find it particularily interesting that a couple of the more vocal Democrats who supported it are up for reelection in 2006:
Sen. Kent Conrad (news, bio, voting record) of North Dakota, facing a potentially difficult race in 2006, said of Schiavo, "Her parents want to give her a chance. I think of my own daughter. We ought to give her a chance."If the country was so against this, you'd think they would have taken a different stance...
Sen. Bill Nelson (news, bio, voting record) from Schiavo's home state, also on the ballot in 2006, noted changes made from an earlier version of the legislation. He said he supported the bill "so that this case can be reviewed and decided in a timely manner."
