Here is the scoop on the District 2 (WA) Congressional Democratic incumbent candidate:

Stem cell research doesn't always fall under the heading of abortion. The left likes to group all stem cell research into one category so they can claim conservatives are against stem cell research which of course is a lie.
The reason embryonic stem cell experiments fall under abortion is simple. If the left loses the argument that life begins at conception as the banning of farming and destruction of human embryos for experimentation or research (on that basis) would do, then they lose the entire abortion argument. They cannot afford to get on that slippery slope and they are smart enough to know it.
You and I and John Kerry know that life begins at conception, from that moment on that human being cannot become anything other than that one unique human being... even twins aren't the same individual.
The unborn should have the same basic right to life as the rest of us...
Barack Obama voted to allow the murder (your word) of babies that survive an abortion otter... how can you for one minute support that man is beyond me.
I will tell you why. Because my political priorities do not lie on anyone's stand on issues like abortion or gun control or flag burning or other "catch phrase" political issues such as these.
ReplyDeleteMy priorities lie in the important issues that really matter to me.
