Adult stem cells are used however in over 65 clinical studies and are saving thousands of lives.
I did see a group of senators including Delay and Weldon of Florida who stood firm on opposing embryonic stem cell funding.
Delay and Weldon are members of the House, not the Senate. They are not peers of Senator Frist. Of course I am glad they came out publically and stood firm for the pro-life position. But where are the conservative Senators doing the same? Not saying none of them have, but I am not aware if they have.
Weldon is solid.....he stands by his convictions.
He is probably livid right now at what Frist has done.
He too is a doctor here in my town, and a very good one with an excellent reputation.
Capitutlation to who?
I oppose all abortion after the first 6 weeks. I am condemned by other Christians because I do not share their position. My position is supported by history, the bible and science. However it is being described as killing babies by fanatics. The hypocrisy of the Christian right on this issue is rampant. Until the mid 1800s, i.e. for nearly 2000 years, Christians thought that human life started with quickening, or late in the first trimester.
The bible says NOTHING on this issue or else why would many Saints and great Christians for 2000 years have believed this? God himself "kills" over 1/3 of all "conceptions" through failure to become a fetus or miscarriage
. The belief by some so-called Christians that anyone who disagees with their OPINION that life starts with conception are evil and "killers" is the most contemptuously self righteous view of all time. It is NOT a Christian issue.
It is an issue of arrogant bigots who ignore science and the bible.
