Just another one with no backbone who will not stand by the president.
Who needs Democrats when the GOP does just fine promoting the culture of death all by itself?
Further, I suspect he knows he's not going to be president so he might as well betray his every professed belief for financial gain.
Rotten traitorous b*stard! And this is the GOP leadership???? Forget it! I am DONE with them. First they ginore the borders. Then they coddle the religion of murder. Now, what the heck? Let's cannibalize the unborn! The GOP is no better than the Democrats.
I will never vote for him. How dare he use the force of government to make all of us fund this atrocity. It can now be done privately by willing participants. Now I must violate my conscience every time I pay my taxes. SHAME ON FRIST FOR BEING ANTI FREEDOM AND ANTI LIFE!
What irks me the most is that he tries to redefine what it is. I no longer respect this man. We are all going to die. We may kill enough babies to find a cure for one disease only to die of something else. Ahhh...but in the meantime there is a lot of money to be made. All the state governments are drooling over the potential windfall, so no surprise a Presidential candidate is doing the same. BUT HE WILL NEVER GET MY VOTE!!!!!!!!
Frist is doing such a good job of trying to parse words and split hairs during his performance on C-Span this morning! I cringe every time I hear him say that federal funds are only to be used for "embryonic stem cells, or blastocytes that will, with certainty, be thrown away anyway". I don't need to be presented with medical terms and percentages to know all I need to know about this...killing innocent human life is wrong. Period.
I don't think that we were ever supposed to go down the road of invitro-fertilization. I don't think that God ever meant for us to have extra human beings lying around, only to be destroyed and thrown away later on!
We've passed the point of no return. We live in a society where the ends justifies the means. Sad.
Thanks a lot spineless, consciousless Frist for moving to advance human life and babies as a mere comodity for useable body parts like a junkyard.
Tradeing for Specter-points.
Exactly. We are just creating a market for them, so that they can say "look, it WILL cure this or that, so now we need to CREATE life so we can DESTROY life so that we can "save" life (they will just die of something else).
I will never trust Frist again.
This I have never understood
I'm sorry that you do not understand. That's the way it is anyway. It's called conscience. I will not vote for a baby killer if the position will give him power in these moral areas. The result, then, is up to God. I must do what is right with whatever power I have. That means I must vote for a moral person and not just a "lesser of two evils" person. Any time I have compromised on that I have lived to regret it. So I am learning from past mistakes.
Amen... If all of Americans voted right, not strategically, then our politicians would be held to account. I used to think that a vote to LIMIT the moral decline of this country against a quicker decline was justified. Well, I can no longer tell the difference. I wont be a party to the decline since I'll answer to God for every vote that I make.
Another misleading title to the article. But that's what the MSM does best.
This whole statement bothers me. Why are we creating embryos that "would otherwise be discarded" anyway? Also, why are Republicans simply taking this situation as a given? Why are we not challenging it?
Whats the difference if the right hand or left hand holds the gun while taking ones money to spend on what one sees as a grave evil?
Frist has girlie-man mannerisms. On that basis alone, he couldn't be elected President.
