In Reply to: Until I developed a sufficient number of cells to even - resemble a person, yes,
still a life in the making. Just because he/she is in the very early stages makes him/her no less a real person, coming to life.

Stem Cells - I can't think of one reason why they should throw the extra cells away, rather than sav

Blob of tissue with a heartbeat

Sorry, I beg to differ - a 6 week blob of tissue is not a CHILD yet. nm

group of cells.......
Gee, yea, we were a group of cells. That is how God planned it to be, so just because you were a group of cells, you would have hoped your mother would dispose of you JUST because you were a group of cells on the way to making a human being?
And so it begins...
the beginning of the end.
They are much more than 2 merged cells when they are aborted....
you obviously have a brain...use it.
Until I developed a sufficient number of cells to even
that's exactly what I was. And so were you. It's how biology works. Oh, wait. I forgot. You only studied creationism, right?
charity begins at home
Im wondering, with Bush's millions, has he given to the Iraq rebuilding? My mom always taught me, charity begins at home..So home first, then American states. Give to Bush's immoral war? I dont know, gonna have to research my soul on that one..
When life begins depends on
someone's religious beliefs. Not all people believe that life begins at conception.
I don't think the beliefs of any religious group over another religious group should be shown preference when it involves the law.
IF life begins at conception
The birth control pill, IUD, and other forms of birth control prevent a fertilized egg from becoming a baby. Since life begins at the time of conception and not at the time of the positive pregnancy test, then birth control is abortion, according the catholic church. Catholics have never been permitted to use birth control for that reason.
Protestants, catholics and Pro-life advocates may be using the same word "abortion," but they are not using the same definition of the word.
Some people are using the RU40, morning after pill as the definition of abortion, some people are using a procedure done before 20 week definition, and some people are using late term abortions or anomaly related issues with baby definition.
Either you believe life begins at conception or you don't, and that is a religious belief, not a political one.
I'd say at least wait until his term BEGINS. nm

Mindboggling that republicans would rather throw the cells in the trash...sm
Than put them to use to save a life and in the same sentence call themselves PROlife. I'd really like to understand this reasoning.
I don't agree with cloning or using aborted fetuses for this research (the latter because I am a prolifer), but when an embryo is headed for the dumpster why not use it for research and medicine.
I saw a MJF ad run on Fox News Channel and it was probably the only ad I've taken seriously. He's dedicated to finding a cure.
In answer to AG's question, why do celebrities become the spokeperson's for different causes? They have the finances, fame and connections to rally support. Sure, there are smaller organizations out there, but many would not get the air time or financial support as MJF.
With great power comes great responsibility.
Is the new legislature talking about stem cells of aborted fetuses?...sm
Because I am a pro-life liberal. I don't rattle any cages about what other people chose to do with their bodies because I believe 90% of the time a person who choses to abort will not be a good parent anyway and will probably do worse to the child once outside the womb. Yes, I do believe a horid life can be worse than death before full development. The child will more than likely be in abject poverty, social and mental deprivation, and on and on. But more importantly, I think people should be more responsible to not get pregnant in the first place when they don't want kids.
Having said all that we do live in an age where abortion is legal, and like I said if they are going to dispose of the fetus anyway, why not use the stem cells to give hope to a Christopher Reeves of the world.
Now, when you talk about cloning and reproducing parts and such I'm not agreeing with that. That's taking it too far IMHO.
I don't believe the idea of when conception begins is a totally religious one.
I believe many factors enter into that belief system.
