Which is NOT the right to use the gov't to enforce YOUR morality onto others

That's a non-argument. The government is absolutely guaranteed to enforce someone's morality on someone else. That's what laws do.

The only questions left are whose morality gets enforced, and why. And those are the questions you aren't addressing.

Good point. I support stem-cell research but not necessarily gov't taxpayers funding it (or abortion, for that matter). If I could personally elect (or not elect) to have parts of my tax return go towards Stem Cell Rsrch, that'd be helpful (Kind of like the "Do you want $X to go to the Federal Election Campaign funding?" checkbox).

But I am in favor of using would-be-discarded blastocysts for stem-cell research, rather than letting them get thrown out uselessly.
