Biden: If Republicans care so much about kids with birth defects,why not support stem-cell research?

No particular Republican is named but it’s no mystery whom this is aimed at.

Was Joe Biden referring to Sarah Palin, a mother of a child with Down syndrome, when he made this comment?

“I hear all this talk about how the Republicans are going to work in dealing with parents who have both the joy, because there’s joy to it as well, the joy and the difficulty of raising a child who has a developmental disability, who were born with a birth defect. Well guess what folks? If you care about it, why don’t you support stem cell research?”

Biden received a thunderous ovation when he made the remark at a town hall style meeting this morning in Columbia.

I believe in Stem-cell research. My wife and I cord-banked blood only just 3.5 weeks ago. But I will not kill innocent people to save others.

Conservatives do support stem cell research. We do not support embryonic research where one must die for another to live. Doesn’t he know the difference?

We could try to explain to Mr. Biden that we do support stem cell research, and that slaughtering unborn children is not necessary in that pursuit ... but ... he just isn’t smart enough to understand it. I’m afraid his intelligence falls a bit short. Unfortunately, those in the audience offering him thunderous applause for his inadequacies, are largely less intelligent than he is. It is a sorry day for their team.

Biden is an idiot. Tons of money is being spent on stem cell research supported by McCain and Palin. The US gummint spends $640 million a year, States more, and private industry $1.7 billion.

Because most cries for embryonic stem cell research are actually thinly veiled demands for unlimited abortion. Every child not aborted is a possible cure for cancer passed by (in their view). They look at Trig Palin and complain among themselves that his brain should have been sucked out for the advancement of science.

If Libs wants to pursue stem-cell research so aggressively, why can’t they do it with adult stem-cells that don’t require embryos, don’t cause uncontrollable tumor growth, and have already proven to be successful?

Oh wait.. these are the same people who think killing animals for sustenance is horrific slaughter, but killing babies for convenience is “a divine right”.

He’s a fool. Most pubbies do support stem-cell research. ADULT stem-cell research, not EMBRYONCI stem-cell research. Stupid RATS do not understand this.

I don’t know a single person who is against stem cell research. Not one.

4 morons clapping does not make for a "thunderous" ovation.

Because Joe, you don’t murder one child in order to help another child.

It is a deep ethical question. He is a democRAT. Of course he doesn't understand.

Once again, Dumb Joe is venturing into a subject and content that is way above his pay grade, intellect, integrity and religious training....

He simply never learned when to shut his lying plagiarizing mouth....

The correct answer: We do support it. We support adult stem cell research, chord blood stem cell research, etc., just not embryonic stem cell research, which has proved disastrous on tests in humans.

Biden is openly flaunting his opposition to Church teaching on embroyonic stem-cell research. He is flirting with excommunication.
