Scott, we’re not killing anything. Proposal 2 doesn’t increase the amount of embryos created.

once created, they are going to be discarded anyway.

So we’re not killing more. We’re simply using what was already killed for research instead of throwing it in a trash can.

Are you against organ donation? this is the same thing.

As for “haven’t found a cure yet.” - these things take time. Look how long it took to cure malaria, or for flu shots, or smallpox. If it’s not quick and easy we shouldn’t do it?

California had the same thing proposed and they still haven’t found any cures after 3 billion dollars so what is the advantage of having it? We whould be spending money for nothing and killing life.

@george: Yeah… save lives until they’re OUT of the womb, right? After that, life no longer matters to you, does it?

Spoken like a true Neocon.

George. did you even read it?

It has absolutely NOTHING to do with abortion.

I wish people would drop the whole abortion debate and start doing something about the unwanted pregnancies.

Treat the cause, not the symptom.

If they are going to be thrown away anyways, that would be okay with me. However its the last line of the proposal that gets to me. Proposal 2 would “Prohibit state and local laws that prevent, restrict or discourage stem cell research, future therapies and cures.” I don’t know about everyone else, but I don’t want a law that would prohibit future laws that could limit stem cell research. Prohibiting future laws against this research would mean that we can’t make new laws against it, but leaves the door wide open to make more lenient laws.
