Well said Ray. Especially "All I know is I am tired of them deciding my fate while I wait and get worse."

Wade was overturned. He couldn't come up with anything, except penalizing doctors. Of course legislation has been proposed to fine and jail us if we use therapies derived from stem cells. Matthews also brought up war and the death penalty, which this guy thought were OK. My CGs 2nd husband preaches "abstinence" for Bush Altho they are very religious, she had an abortion with first husband when young - she could be a former felon or lifer now if this had happened. Well not actually, as we don't have ex post facto laws. My niece could be in jail or on death row. But don't we really feel different about these women than we do Susan Smith who drowned her 2 boys in her car in that lake and Andrea Yates who drowned her five living children or not? Or the gal who had baby in rest room and went back to prom? I don't think the anti-stem cell people have even thought these abortion issues through, (they do nothing about in vitro clinics with all those extra embryos) so how can they be expected to understand stem cell research? All I know is I am tired of them deciding my fate while I wait and get worse. Pro-choice does not mean pro-abortion anyway. This issue has certainly stymied SCNT therapeutic cloning and stem cell research.
