[Massachusetts] Governor Mitt Romney... sparred with Senate Democrats at a
hearing [yesterday] on the proposed [constitutional] amendment [banning gay
marriage], arguing [it] can play a crucial role in protecting future generations
from what he called an experiment begun when the Bay State legalized gay
marriage on May 17....Senator Richard Durbin, an Illinois Democrat who voted in
favor of the 1996 federal Defense of Marriage Act, which allows states to withhold
recognition of same-sex marriages performed in other states, said it was
foolhardy to pass a constitutional amendment with such a law on the books."We have
a preemptive foreign policy; I don't think we should have a preemptive
Constitution," Durbin said, arguing that Republicans should not hurry the proposed
federal amendment through Congress. "Why aren't we taking time to see how this
plays out?.... We are taking a roller to a Rembrandt."~ Boston Globe, yesterday

Ms. God and infertility
Tuesday, June 22, 2004
There are all these extra embryos at in vitro clinics because the procedure
does not always produce a baby. That's why there are extras. Embryos turn out
to be not viable; don't make the grade; bite the dust, etc.
Do you all remember the guy who brought his in vitro twins to Congress and
yelled "which one would you kill"? He failed to mention that it took six embryos
to produce his twins.
Why is it OK to produce and destroy embryos if it involves enabling childless
couples to conceive, but not to use them to give life to the living? What I'm
saying is true. I have never liked the idea, but figured it was none of my
business. But it is now.
God probably opposes in vitro fertilization because it results in the
destruction of embryos. Maybe She didn't want these people to have kids anyway.
