The Bush administration has approved the first federally funded project using stem cells obtained from fetuses aborted up to eight weeks after conception, expanding the scientific promise of stem cell research and complicating the ethics debate that surrounds it.

(Anyone who watched former President Bush and Bob Dole stand up to preserve Clinton through impeachment (so the Mad Bomber of Sudan could hand them back a smoking Balkan baton) knows better.)
I'll be bombing this thread from the fetal tissue angle. If you dig into some of the middle-of-the-night notes I was posting to myself in this thread -- "Abortion is VITAL to the solution" ... A Key Point from Kissinger's NSSM-200 -- you can see that the GOP Congress had no trouble revisiting the '93 Gag Rule in 2000 but specifically sidestepped the fetal tissue question.
Perhaps it was an idea whose time finally had come ... after a false start back in 1992 as George H. Bush attempt to tie up a few loose ends. To wit:
12806 Establishment of a Fetal Tissue Bank Signed: May 19, 1992 Federal Register page and date: 57 FR 21589; May 21, 1992 Revoked by: Pub.L. 103-43 (107 Stat. 133)
Actually, this is worse.
No one ever thought to manufacture Jews for the purpose of killing them. We're headed that way.
Reductionist victories into the mindset of west thought are scary as hell.
Me also.
The Bot's are taking the position that he hates it, BUT nothing can be done. The funding is there.
Now Askel says something quite different.. Look to her post to me above.
And there are like a million, billion links in there and someplace in all that mess it is implied that Congress intentionally dropped the ball on this. I don't know where because it't all links to links and I am soon running out of computer time for today.
(Gonna have a BBQ.. Yum!)
It can be explained like this. In 1993 with a demo controlled Congress and Presidency, they passed a law signed by Clinton which forbade any President from withholding funding.
That is what you get from a demo Congress.
Of course, Ms. Askel in her penultimate spite decided to "muddy the waters" with the help of her "friends" at the the NYT and WP.
I wouldn't expect an answer from Ms. Askel, she is to busy posting over at LF(Lunatic Fringe), the penultimate right wing malcontent mutual admiration society.
....Don't even come here...........
We'll take our pride in, respect of and appreciation of our President to other threads.
Whatever we could/would say in defense would fall on deaf ears.
Enjoy your BBQ. I am going to Marine World with the wife when she gets off work at 1800 local time
Huh, no mention of the 1993 demo passed law.
How convienent.
Oh well go ahead, live in your revisionist world. It suits you well.
Argue the facts for change, why don't you?
Just because Democrats are stupid enough to view offing their own and the use of the unborn as mulch for "the living" as the ultimate empowerment doesn't change the FACT all of these "rights" rest on the Legal Abortion republicans recognize as "vital" to the solution of population control.
In the meantime, perhaps he can go study up on NSSM-200 and NSDM-314 as linked above.
All I want is some sourcing or press on this legislation, and whether it has since been resisted or can be circumvented. I would hope that pro-life forces could work with the White House and the better part of the GOP ... and some pro-life Democrats ... in this matter.
Any info is appreciated,
Cheers,
Richard F.
That's my understanding also from what she's posted. That the stem cell research thing is just more hooks into "right" to an abortion. Some interesting stuff from Henry (frog voice) Kissenger also.
To me this hinges on Congress dropping this intentionally, but I haven't found that in so many words yet and our Congress has been in a state of flux to some degree.
Have fun at Marine world!
I didn't "bash" Dubya over this (yet) and I am looking this over (or trying to) in an effort to determine if a "bash" is deserved in this case.
Now, that's as fair as a person can be in my opinion.
So knock it off already.
What happened to Executive Privilege?
Can he do that?
Would he?
Huh the fact that a demo controlled Congress(1993) passed a law that forbade a President from witholding funding and that a demo President signed it is an arguement of fact.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but it is.
Oh that's right your bubble is never burst over at LF(Lunatic Fringe). I can understand your outrage over the little peons at FR who dare to challenge you.
As if such funding is some constitutional right. This dope had some really misplaced priorities. Thats what affluence does to the mind I guess. Clinton should have had more respect for the constitution as it is in its present form I think
Who are you calling a liar??? I read the article. I did not post any comments about the article. I posted the first paragraph and a link to the full article as per FR rules.
You are the one who appears to have an agenda. Who are you to call me a liar?
