Complex Issue - Simple Argument
Senate Approves Embryonic Stem Cell Bill
Without getting into all the minutiae of all the arguments revolving around stem cell research, I just wanted to recognize and applaud this statement on the issue from White House Press Secretary Tony Snow (an inspired choice for the job if ever there was one):
I would add that it's not just something living, but someone... but the point is right on target. How anyone could have supported the bill in question and still consider themselves pro-life is beyond my understanding.

"The simple answer is he thinks murder's wrong," said White House spokesman Tony Snow. "The president is not going to get on the slippery slope of taking
something living and making it dead for the purposes of scientific research."

Come on and get out of the stone ages. The embryos will never amount to anything and will someday be discarded and the fact this administration fails to see this is really to bad for the rest of humanity. But it doesn't really matter because if the research is not done here it will be done somewhere else. What is it with Bush and his clan of ant-science religious zealots?
It's not illegal (yet) - feel free to spend all the money you want on treating human life like a disposable commodity - just don't ask the federal government (me & my tax dollars) to pay for it!
Nice name-calling, though. In your circles, does that pass for reasoned argument?
Umpire--Matthew Feinberg (FortBendTalk.com & Thewebbie.com) joined our voluntary protest by posting a note on his sites. Could you and a few others join in and support this protest? It doesn't need to be shutting the site down, but just a note of support against a major Houston company trying to shut down MCC (http://missouricitychatter.blogspot.com). Anything you can do is a help! I will keep contacting area site admins for help.-Thanks!
