One, because the embryo is already dead and Two, because the issue gave him the ability to draw a line in the sand with regard to the government's sanctioning via money for research, i.e. no money towards producing embryos for the purpose of killing them for research.

Please illustrate this "line in the sand." There is none.

A pro-life leader would be championing the ban on fetal stem cell research even by the private sector. Banning fed funding knowing damn well the real problem lies with the private sector is a cowards way of trying to look pro-life.

I have held my tongue on FSCR up till now. I couldn't quite put my finger on what it was about Bush's decision that was unsettling. Now, after 9/11/01, it all stands out in bass relief.

Why should God Bless America, as we create human beings purely for destrucxtion and profit?

Why should God Bless America, as we kill the child in the womb?

Why should God Bless America, as we tolerate the advance of the homosexual agenda?

Why should God Bless America, as we ignore the roots of it all, the grave sin of contraception (especially abortifacient contraception, including the pill and all other hormonal contraceptives)?

God will not Bless America, when we pray for Blessing with our mouth while murdering the innocents with out hands and our votes.

9/11/01 was a warning. No one is heading it.

Worse shall come.

Why should God bless you when you blow it, curse, allow evil images in your imagination, fornicate, masturbate, lie, get even, hit your dog out of anger, back bite, gluttonize... "there is none righteous, no not one". He blesses because he is full of mercy and grace, not because you deserve it. What's more is He lavishes His blessing on His children when they are contrite and seeking forgiveness.

God did not destroy Sodom and Gomorra until the least holy of those naming the name of God were removed. America is home to a great number of believers, and we are living in the age of grace, not law. I am mindful of Jesus' disciples; they asked Jesus if they should call fire down out of heaven to destroy the ungodly... Jesus rebuked them, Luke 9:54. Don't ask for fire lest you go up in flames yourself.
