Apology not accepted
Tony Snow apologized today for calling ESCR (Embryonic Stem Cell Research) murder saying, he had overstated the president's position (source). I've got no qualm with using that term, but then again I'm pro-life.
If life begins at conception, ESCR is abortion; a form of murder. Can anyone point out a substantive difference between a 3 day old, 3 week old, 3 month old, and 3 year old? At which point does the fetus become human? At which point does it have value?
Those who distinguish between the born and unborn parse words until they no longer have meaning. If ESCR is not wrong, then nothing is wrong with anything.
UPDATE:
Did you know that the EU has the same position as Bush on ESCR?

The European Union agreed on Monday to permit limited use of EU funds for research involving human embryonic stem cells provided it does not entail destroying embryos, preserving the status quo. (source)Thanks Penraker. Didn't see CNN making that comparison last week.

Well, for anyone else who is pissed off by this, here's your chance to do something:

It's time to fight back against the cro-magnons in Congress who voted against this legislation.
It's time to ease them into early retirement.
