Misleading Measure May Launch U.S. Cloning (MO Amend. 2)

Novak was on the Laura Ingraham radio program this morning and called the efforts of the pro-Amendment 2 anti-lifers (promoting the Amendment as one that would ban cloning) one of the biggest scams he has ever seen in politics.

It all depends. If, say, Ronald the Great is to be cloned - then OK [the constitutional limit of 2 terms already served would not apply to the clone, and after that we could grow yet another one]. If, OTOH, they are trying to clone hillary - then the place better be burned down together with everyone in it.

I'd ra^ther have the Kobe Tai clone I ordered.

Only if you believe that the clone of George Bush is a cell with his DNA rather than a walking, talking human being that looks like a fraternal twin. When most people think of a clone of a sheep (Dolly), a cat or a human being, they are thinking of a sheep, a cat, a human being, not a clump of cells with identical DNA.

OK, thanks. This was my first shot at it. I did at least TRY to search. :) Need more practice I guess.

In theory, sure. :) The problem is that the good guys aren't going to be the ones volunteering their DNA. We'd more likely end up with an army of liberal professor drones coming to save us. :)

Hopefully you're being sarcastic.

As a Missourian, I can verify that #2 is deceptive in many ways. You can read the entire text at the Secretary of State's website:

Freepers with friends and/or relatives in Missouri, please tell them about the dangers and deceptions of Amendment 2.

Well, what do you think the necessary implications are if Amendment 2 passes? You can't really think that the left will stop with cloning cells, do you? This thing is the definition of incrementalism and the slippery slope. This is exactly how it works. Science by unGodly men will achieve whatever it can. When governments give their blessings, it just makes it all the easier.

Different titles.

Help spread the word PING! :)

What ways do you see?

I hope the good citizens in Missouri figure the truth out pretty quickly. Sickening that so many Republicans are either fooled by this or in on it (what is the motive? Money? Attraction to death cultism?

My s-i-l was talking about this legislation last week during my hubby's family reunion. She and her hubby live in MO, and she is appalled by this measure.

Many folks are cowed by their fear of being considered unsophisticated, or anti-science by those pushing the measure. They won't speak out, even though they might not actually vote for it.

[little jeremiah]

I was thinking of the GOP big wigs's motives, not so much the ordinary folks. The people who are pushing this.

[Forest Keeper]

Thanks for the great resources, Coleus! You have done a tremendous job on these issues.

[Just mythoughts]

Oh they are very very tricky in their deceptive writing skills and if anyone would like I will type the proposed amendment for all to read.
