McCain favored using extra IVF embryos but not SCNT or therapeudic cloning. It is true that party platforms do not carry the weight of law but they do tell us something, don't you think? Doesn't the Dem platform claim to protect choice? Now that McCain decreed that "life begins at conception" rather than implantation, he should be under pressure to make contraception, creation of IVF embryos, and all ESCR consistent with that position. To me, it looks like the struggle willl go on if he is elected and boy am I tired. He sucked up to Jerry Fallwell after calling him "an agent of intolerance" in 2000 and just selected a Vice Prez candidate who wants creationsim taught in science classes. He is not the maverick I voted for in 2000.
