Pretty simplistic view of the issue don't you think? Let's narrow it down to just the usage of fetal stem cells from aborted pregnancies. Regardless of our views on abortion, the GOP still sits on its hands and it is still legal. Now why not use the material for some end other than throw it away as bio-waste.

GOP stance = "Its okay to kill them, but whatever you do, don't use the tissue to advance medical science."

Bush and the GOP may think this stance gives them some kind of moral highground on abortion while getting away with letting it happen everyday. Me, I see it as a trick, a ruse to help placate the pro-life voters of the GOP and cushion the party from any political fallout. In the meantime, maybe, just maybe, the next big medical breakthrough will slip through our fingers.

Frankly I don't think it's simplistic at all. Any harvesting of fetal stem cells from aborted fetuses for the benefit of the living strikes me as abhorrent.

I believe that God knows each of us even when we're still in our mothers womb. The Bible speaks to this very concept. I believe that He knew each of us before we were even conceived.

Using the cells from aborted fetuses for research to aid the living is perhaps the most cynical attempt yet by scientists to erase God's judgement on our sinful selves. It is precisely because mankind rejected God that we are plagued by these illnesses, so how can we presume to thumb our noses at Him vis a vis curing disease through such abominable means?

It's a 21st Century Tower of Babel... and I want no part of it.
