Absolutely.

It was no less disappointing watching the Democrats turn themselves into the party of no ideas.

Watching Kerry for three months doing nothing and refusing to "Swing at the pitch" was awful. Playing not to lose instead of playing to win. What the heck was he waiting for?

lol... as Lewis Black said about his vote in the PResidential race, "WTF was I supposed to do when I had to choose between two bowls of sh.t?!?"

Nancy Reagan changed her tune after what her husband went through. I bet if someone in the Bush family got unfortunate...

Interesting "take" on this issue, Pgardn.
Since the embryos in question are going to be dicarded anyway, seems to me that they could serve a more useful purpose than becoming "medical waste".

I certainly agree...it's always a matter of who's ox gets gored! Cheney has a g-ay daughter and that alters his view a bit. The danger of course is that they run out of available stem cells and abortion for profit becomes a reality...obviously, I have problems with that as I suspect many do, but I see no reason there can't be safeguards installed from the beginning to prevent that!

Somerfrost,
To my knowledge, these embryos don't come into existance through abortion.
They are harvested from the female donor and fertilized invitro.
Those that successfully come to term are the "snowflake" babies that surrounded Bush in his photo op.
However, since there are far more embroyos created than are implanted, the surplus are stored in liquid nitrogen until they are no longer viable.
We can start seperate threads on abortion and g-ay rights. These topics are not germain to the stem cell issue.
