Congress has just passed and sent to my desk two bills concerning the use of stem cells in biomedical research. These bills illustrate both the promise and perils we face in the age of biotechnology. In this new era, our challenge is to harness the power of science to ease human suffering without sanctioning the practices that violate the dignity of human life. (Applause.) In 2001, I spoke to the American people and set forth a new policy on stem cell research that struck a balance between the needs of science and the demands of conscience. When I took office, there was no federal funding for human embryonic stem cell research. Under the policy I announced five years ago, my administration became the first to make federal funds available for this research, yet only on embryonic stem cell lines derived from embryos that had already been destroyed. My administration has made available more than million for research on these lines. This policy has allowed important research to go forward without using taxpayer funds to encourage the further deliberate destruction of human embryos. One of the bills Congress has passed builds on the progress we have made over the last five …
What makes you not just think and argue things like these:
Look, Liberals care about poor people. They want to pass legislation to help people in need, they want to make the public functions of our government better, for the benefit of all.
And they care about great scientific advances like embryonic stemcell research, better environmental conditions through EPA legislation. Hilary Clinton could be the first female president ever!
Arguments like these for example.
You could have so much more power in the poorest Americans if they had more government benefits to turn to.
What makes you say no no no no no? Not to take sides here.
Simply put, how would you describe what it’s like to be a Liberal? From a Republican perspective?
Not everybody is religious, but the message of God in almost every religion is to love your neighbor, do good onto others, appreciate and commit to the creator and admire all creations of the creator.
This is precisely what Liberal environmentalists try to do, in representing clean air, clean water, increased sustainability of earth so we can sustain more opportunities for souls to dwell in the house of lord, if you want to see it that way.
Also peace-loving activists want to protect the flesh and bones of every living soul so he/she can learn to love and become one with the creator, who so loved this world.
A woman’s right to choose is really just a psychological freedom enhancer that is not supporting abortion, but making it so a woman can have the option if she’s ill.
Gay rights is just something God will judge, not man.
Stemcell research if necessary to save thousands of lives, same concept as World War II against Japan.
Christians are peace-loving people, so why can’t they appreciate that Liberals are trying to beautify the earth in their own way, and that is acknowledgement of God’s creation.
Therefore some Liberals are more Godly than you’d like to believe.
edit: Abe Frohman: Environmentalists and Liberals value the sanctity of life. They oppose capital punishment, and they don’t SUPPORT abortion. They feel the opposition to abortion be a family matter, not a politician’s ordeal.
FAIR COMPROMISE: We need an environmental organization that is supportive of religious principles and assesses economic risks.
