Ray You are so right. And while that may be the belief of some religious practices (no contraceptives, no abortion), that would not be in compliance with separation of church and state. Agree? I do not believe in abortion, but I do believe in scientific miracles such as IVF (invitro fertilization) and I also believe in science discovering a cure using "leftover" ESC. What could possibly be wrong with that? I fail to understand, but the world is full of varying opinions.
