Cloning Bill Bans Abortion Too?

Cloning and abortion -- separate issues altogether, right? Maybe not. There are those who believe that if cloning is outlawed, then abortion will be too.

A hotly debated bill that would make cloning illegal also protects a human embryo from the moment of conception, and therefore flies in the face of Roe v. Wade, some experts say.

That headline scared me to death. I thought they were cloning another Bill Clinton.

"cloning another Bill Clinton"

LOL! OH, the Horror!

Bush favors Brownback-Landrieu, IIRC.

Talk about a stealth campaign against the pro-abortion crowd...

Brownback ping!

"cloning another Bill Clinton"

This could provide a valuable experiment in the Nature vs. Nurture debate. Would Bill end up any different if he wasn't married to Hillary?

Cloning scares the heck out of me. I have a serious disease that is on the list of those thrown out there that these soulless people say "will be helped by cloning." NO THANK YOU!

How will creating life, without a soul, help save someone with one?

"When I use a word," Humpty-Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor less." "The question is," said Alice, "whether you CAN make words mean so many different things." "The question is," said Humpty-Dumpty, "which is to be master -- that's all."

I don't follow the arguments that somehow this will affect abortion. In any case, it can't be that anti-abortion since Daschle supports it! Go Brownback!
