in other states.

>> URGENT - PROPOSITION 73 MAY CRIMINALIZE STEM CELL RESEARCH
>> If you live in California, know someone who lives in California, or
>> if you just plain support stem cell research, this concerns you.
>>
>>
>>
>> If you follow the column www.stemcellbattles.com, you know we are
>> very concerned about a new initiative: Proposition 73, the "Waiting
>> Period and Parental Notification Before Termination of Minor's
>> Pregnancy Initiative Constitutional Amendment" on the California
>> special election ballot just a few days from now.
>>
>>
>>
>> The bill sounds reasonable, at first. What parent would not want to
>> know about something so hugely important (and tragic) as their
>> child's abortion?
>>
>>
>>
>> The bill contains a poison pill: language which defines abortion as
>> the "death of the unborn child, a child conceived but not yet born,"
>> (emphasis added)--and would place that new definition of life into
>> the California State Constitution.
>>
>>
>>
>> If microscopic cells can be legally defined as a child, scientists
>> doing embryonic stem cell research could be said to be murdering a
>> person. This insanity could stop the research altogether: or cause
>> years of litigation and delay, as the case winds its way through the
>> courts, all the way to an increasingly conservative Supreme Court.
>>
>>
>>
>> But remember that the California stem cell program has already been
>> sued on behalf of "Jane Doe", a fictional embryo. That case was
>> recently dismissed, but it can and probably will be brought again in
>> another court. It is ridiculous; but it could ruin everything.
