Embryonic stem cell research has ALWAYS been about one thing and one thing only and that is PROTECTING THE RIGHT TO ABORTION.

Research facilities that desire money from the government that they can't get from the private sector.
Truth is that this precedure is light years away from yielding a successful treatment for any life threatening disease.
I wish he had addressed how ashamed his father would have been about the pathetic ballerina boy whining about this at the 2004 'Rat convention.
"Drug companies aren't interested in funding that kind of outcome. There's no money in producing brain tumors.
Embryonic stem cell research has ALWAYS been about one thing and one thing only and that is PROTECTING THE RIGHT TO ABORTION."
UH ... Don't think there is a lot of money for the drug companies in "protecting the right to abortion" either ...
And in the meantime, successes of adult/umbilical cord stem cells keep piling up.
And the reason that biotech and drug companies aren't investing in ESC research is because they know it will NEVER PAY OFF.
I support Michael Reagan and his indirect defense of Rush Limbaugh.
He really turned me off though in the late 90's when I used to listen to his show by calling "Limbaugh's nothing more than a Tie Salesman".
Those ties were ugly, but that petty manuver did not sit well with me. At the time, Rush was challenging my positions and as a result opening my eyes way more than Reagan could ever could.
"And the reason that biotech and drug companies aren't investing in ESC research is because they know it will NEVER PAY OFF."
Then you really don't have much to worry about, do you ?
BTW - Did you know that Israeli human embryonic stem cell research is 2nd in world ?

They never were good businessmen, were they ?

"Morning after pill" as one product produced by the "drug" companies. They have other products used to prevent pregnancy as well. So, the drug companies do have a stake in the pro-abortion issue.

My in-laws just told me they still didn't know how they were going to vote on Amendment 2 here in Missouri. It was all I could do to keep my jaw off the floor. I tried to calmly give them a little background info without causing trouble. I don't know how my husband came from these two. I still think he was adopted. :o)
Special interest groups are the prostitutes of our society - when are we going to shut them down and cut off their business for good?
I agree. I'll do my small part by voting no on Amendment 2 in MO. Best I can do right now!
Demagoguing the issue of ESC research obviously has proved
positively irresistible to the Dems: it seems to offer so many things all at the same time: a justificiation to continue full-throttle abortion, ( we need those embryos,folks), another opportunity to paint those opposed to it as (yes, once again) uncaring, selfish, and socially regressive, another opportunity to set up a politically-defined enclave with multiple-millions flowing into an entire pseudo-medical structure of professionals and even more unskilled associates, all of whom owe jobs and allegiance to those wonderful Democrats who funded their entirely fruitless enterprise. As always with the Dems, their is an attempt to link these things together, so it is never going to be clear whether they're even interested or willing to defend ESC on its own terms: it may just be a sub-issue put in the service of abortion rights....who knows? All I know is there seems to be a particularly desperate attempt underway to spot-weld a bunch of things together, hoping they all rise as one huge hotair balloon
with a giant "D" painted on it, rather than crash to earth , all weakened and discredited together, each "cause" a little the worse for wear. One thing is sure, when they are challenged to actually address the real details of the issue and their exploitation of it, they swerve and all they can talk about is how awful Rush Limbaugh's "mockery" of Michael J. Fox was.
