The issue is NOT about finding cures from embryonic stem cells,

the issue is about ABORTION, which requires that conceived embryos have absolutely no value as human beings.

Watch - they’ll state that this skin cell stuff is great and all, but embryonic research needs to continue, even though it has produced nothing worthwhile.

It’s not about the stemcells, it’s about abortion.

[Slapshot68]

Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) issued a statement dismissing the relevance of the development and vowing to press ahead with embryonic stem cell research anyway, because “scientists may yet find that embryonic stem cells are more powerful.”

And these people are crying about people dying in Bush’s Wars.

[Argus]

If liberals joined in the sigh of relief over not having to destroy embryos, they would be acknowledging that there was any ethical dilemma in the first place. They don’t want to acknowledge that. It would require a tip of the hat to the notion that life is precious.

That's it in a nutshell. Liberalism is now a religion, its heaven is the UN, its Satan is GW Bush, its cosmology is Global Warmism, and its holy sacrament is abortion.

[Spok]

As it is with the abortion issue, it is not the sanctity of life that is at issue, but the POWER to take it. The liberals don’t want safe stem cell research, but the power to create and destroy life.

It’s the money... they stand to lose big in grants, donations, gifts... etc.

I’ve always felt this issue was decidedly very, very dark.

I don’t think this issue is about money, science or politics. I’ve come to believe - and I know some think this naive - that this issue is the physical manifestation of a spiritual battle.

I happen to think the people who favor the destruction of life at any cost - be they Tom Harkin or Michael J. Fox - are moved and manipulated, either knowingly or unknowingly, by evil. In fact, I can’t conjure up a more rational explanation.

Embryonic stem cell research has become one of the left’s strange article-of-faith type issues in recent years – along with their certainty about global warming and their emotional investment in America’s defeat in Iraq.

I would rewrite the title of this one to “Maybe Democrats Only Wanted to Kill Embryos In The First Place and Never Cared About Curing Anything”.

There. That makes more sense in light of the increasing evidence against wasting more time and money on creating and killing embryos or fetuses.

"If human embryonic stem cell research does not make you at least a little bit uncomfortable, you have not thought about it enough," he said. "I thought long and hard about whether I would do it.""
-Dr. James Thomson

Not good enough, but it beats the "damn the ethics, full speed ahead!" attitude of the would-be science boosters.

[NewJerseyJoe]

It's never been about research, or curing diseases, or any of that. It has ever only been about legitimizing abortion in the eyes of its supporters, i.e., in the eyes of the guilty.

They know in their hearts that it's wrong. But they latched on to "embryonic stem cell" research as the lifeline that could pull them out of their moral quandary on to the dry land of rationalization. We're starting to see the same thing with the carbon-footprint people -- "I aborted my child so as to reduce the carbon footprint."

Disgusting.
