Senators, Your Colors are Showing
In the name of experimental science, yesterday our Senate announced that part of humanity does not have the same intrinsic value as others. Hitler used the same justification to exterminate Jews.
In the name of experimental science, the Senate rejected the dignity of life and voted to use your tax dollars to kill the unborn. They voted to take a fertilized egg, a conceived child, and suck from that vulnerable, dignified, future citizen the stem cells necessary for its own growth.
Politicians lie to get votes. Let me be clear; they distort and twist the truth, intending to deceive, parsing words until they no longer have meaning. Depending upon what ‘is’ means, Congress is full of liars.
Republicans have been the pro-life party since Ted Kennedy changed his position on abortion 30 years ago. Their guiding principle has been that life begins at conception and is uniquely valuable until death occurs through natural processes. Yesterday, Senators showed their colors; whether they believe this premise or whether they have been lying to us.
These Republicans Senators are liars; they are pro-abortion with a twisted set of principles that should exclude them from any public office:
Lamar Alexander (R-TN)
Robert Bennett (R-UT)
Richard Burr (R-NC)
Lincoln Chafee (R-RI)
Thad Cochran (R-MS)
Susan Collins (R-ME)
Bill Frist (R-TN)
Judd Gregg (R-NH)
Orin Hatch (R-UT)
Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX)
Trent Lott (R-MS)
John McCain (R-AZ)
Lisa Murkowski (R-AK)
Gordon Smith (R-OR)
Olympia Snowe (R-ME)
Arlen Specter (R-PA)
Ted Stevens (R-AK)
John Warner (R-VA)
Our leaders in the Senate have refused to protect our most vulnerable members including the young, elderly, and unborn. Instead of our America welcoming babies into life, we have glorified a culture of death. Instead of celebrating life, we rejoice in death through legalized abortion, euthanasia, and now embryonic stem cell research.

It doesn't surprise me that there are Republicans who are not pro-life. There are Democrats who are. That isn't determined by party and for some the stem cell debate isn't about being pro-life or not pro-life but is about saving the lives of millions who suffer some pretty nasty diseases.
I honestly don't know how I feel about the issue, but I do find it funny that so many would get upset at the thought of destroying a fertilized egg to save lives but no one says anything about fertility clinics doing the same thing. I think I would probably be okay with the research if it was with donated eggs of that sort. At least they would be used for something than lining a trash can. I definitely do not approve of harvesting them just for science.
