Note the lack of distinction between "stem cell" research and "embryonic stem cell" research.

The group, led by former Sen. Tom Eagleton,...

Perfect.

Is that the Eagleton that ran as McGovern's running mate until it came out that he had received electric shock treatment?
I'm Catholic and I support stem cell research. ADULT stem cells.

I agree. It's EMBRYONIC STEM CELL RESEARCH, but the MSM is speaking to the lowest denominator who won't read up about this. Why don't the repubs say more about this distinction? The govt. supports adult stem cell research and if embryonic stem cell research were so promising, all the money in the world would be given by private donations and companies. It drives me so feckin' nuts.

Mo. Catholics Apostates Back Embryonic Stem Cell Research

There, fixed that.

(If I hadn't gotten to it, I suspect one of my separated Latin bretheren would have made the correction sooner or later.)

The title of the thread itself is deceiving. Besides the issue of stem cell research vs. fetal stem cell research, the title makes you think that Catholics in general support "stem cell research" (and specifically fetal stem cell research) when its actually some group using the Catholic name that has come out in favor of the ballot question. The headline makes one think that Missouri Catholics are in opposition to the Church position.

The fact is that I would guess most Catholics do support stem cell research. Hopefully very few support fetal stem cell research. This is exactly the Church position.

Amendment 2 is deceptively written and the lies truly begin when proponents attempt to explain it.

It pretends that "cloning" doesn't occur when the embryo is CLONED, but only after that CLONED EMBRYO has been implanted in the womb.

The "logic" is that since the baby is killed before it can be born, it's not cloning.
What a pack of lies!

misinformation, scare tactics and distortions being spread by opponents of the initiative, including the church.

I'm not to keen on Mo politics but these sound like modified dem talking points, the blame game with no supporting evidence.

I am so fed up with these "Catholic" politicians who don't give a darn about the teachings of their face and who relish poking their fingers in the Church's eye every chance they get. And my state's two execrable senators (Kennedy and Kerry) top the list of offenders...

Something I haven't seen addressed is this: assume that embryonic stem cell research does result in a fantastic cure for some important disease. Where would all the embryonic stem cells then come from needed to treat the millions of afflicted by said disease???

"Some people want to ban all stem cell research," the letter said.

A complete lie - and a deliberate one. But we'll be hearing plenty more from "Catholics" like this as long as the Church smiles politely and grants them all the annulments they request.

Has anybody heard from any of the Cardinals in the Catholic Church about this Amendment?

Where is Cardinal Roger "Illegal Alien" Mahony, George, Eagan, O'Malley "Teddy Kennedy's in Boston", Eagan, McCarrick, et.al.?

None of these sanctonmoinious Cardinals have said anything about this Cloning Amendment but they are full of Hot Air when it comes to supporting Amnesty for Illegal Aliens!

"Note the lack of distinction..." Same here in VA in DNC comercials slamming Drake.

They pointedly omit the word Embryonic.
