No way I could support Hillary.
I'd sooner vote Saddam for president.

Hillary woud be worse following bad
Or at least as bad

You think the country is in the toilet under Bush.
Under Hillary  would flush it entirely

Why don't you like Hillary?  The Republicans keeping raising the co-pays for VA hospitals, your going to be wishing her health-care system had been implemented when you get nickle and dimed to death.

Hillary? Yup, maybe....

If she's running against a Gay African-American Jew from China--and that's only if it's discovered that he's secretly a fanatic Muslim to boot.

Get real, people. This isn't the year 3000 yet.

As for Bush being a man of his word, I'm really happy for him. Too bad he gave his word to be an unequivical moron when it comes to stem-cell research.

And you think Hillary is going to do something about it??
and who gets to pay for Hillarys health care system?
Wheres the money comming from

Not to mention she would have to get it passed frst
Which means even if she did have a good idea. Which I highly doubt.
It would be so watered down by politics that it would be hardly recognisable from what she put forth

Warning Now though.

Well I'll be damned.
Bush actually Vetoed something.

No matter. it will all be undone soon as he is out of office.
And anything really useful from the reasearch is years away.
We will just build on everyone elses research and experiance.

Its not like we're loosing anything.
This is only temporary.
And probably in the ends saves us money on research.
 For the next few years anyway

Moron?  Did you even pay attention to what he said?  

He is for stem cell research and supported a bill going through the houses.  However, he is not for stem cell research when the stem cells are harvested from a fetus.


That's called morality and has nothing to do with intelligence.

I understand, Sailor. I just think that it's immoral to deny medical developement because of 'human spare parts' that will not be used otherwise. The examples he cites of people adopting unwanted fetuses long before birth do not outweigh the potential benefits. If he wants to be moral, to a fault, he should look at what there is to gain for humans that are already born as well unborn, unconcieved humans of the future. His decision could well set back medical science by a decade or more. And that is the biggest immorality yet.

if this ever passes, abortion clinics will be like sperm banks where one will be paid for their deposit ...
neubob, why does this set anything back? you think the US is the only country that can do that research?

No, the US is not the only one. It is, however, the wealthiest. The US is also home to some of the world's most famous and most productive centers for medical research--the NIH being one of them.

To keep places like the NIH, Johns Hopkins and hundreds of other facilities, hospitals and universities from working to their full potential sets back medical science--no two ways about it.

Before anyone even says it, no, I do not support research the likes of which was perpetrated by the Nazis. I do not enjoy the concept of partial birth abortions, or anything of the like... At the same time, I do not think that this even comes close. Bush is working off a largely unscientific definition of what life is and when consciousness begins, and I simply do not agree.

Shoot, humans cant form long term memories until they are at least 2 and a half years old.  And thats bascially what consciousness is, comparing our surroundings to our long-term memories.

Hmmm.. then we should be able to abort everyone under two?

Neubob, you disagree with Bush. What makes your interpretation more valid than his?
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms.

In my previous post I said that I was against partial birth abortions. I could be wrong, but I think that covers everything in the 3rd trimester. If the partial birth abortion is carried out, however, why not use it? Furthermore, if a 2nd trimester abortion is carried out, why not use that?

I think parents should be able to lawfully kill their own children up to the age of 18.
