MO voters send another clear message to the President

[Gigantopithecus]

CNN indicates allowing stem cell research is up by ~15,000 votes with 83% of precints reporting. This is too close to call - but the fact that so many people support legalizing stem cell research in Missouri sends another memo to W: Americans believe the health and welfare of living people trumps the 'rights' of soon-to-be-disposed of zygotes.

The pendulum's swinging back... out of the Middle Ages & into the 21st Century! 6 years late is better than never.

I thought killing babies was a bit Middle Ages myself. Funny how you can look at killing a baby in such a different light. Well, if you approve killing babies or growing them in tubes for research experiments thats your right.

My big concern for Amendment 2 was not the abortion angle, but the big business angle. As much as we like to think that stem cells research is about curing illness, it is also about making money. I fear that some of the larger businesses will use this amendment to limit proper government regulation of biotech.

I am very happy that most Americans don't support your view.

Since when is MO been Bible belt?

Maybe you need a map. The Bible belt is the southern states; pretty much any confederate state would be a Bible belt state, except Florida.

Never heard MO being called that.

I have heard people in Springfield refer to themselves as the "Buckle of the Bible Belt".

But I think that they have the geography wrong.

Show me the baby on a petri dish please

Still, you've got almost a million people in Missouri that oppose stem cell research. It's not that big of a win. I'd would be much happier, if we had a bigger margin.

You know, the "straw man" is a logical fallacy. (And if that goes over your head, I'm so sorry..)

I think that somebody is wearing their bible belt just a couple of notches too tight.

Hey, you got to start somewhere. Given the amount of FUD surrounding the issue, I'm very impressed even a majority support it.

I thought irrational fearmongering against progress and science was part of the Middle Ages myself. Ya know, "world is flat", "universe revolves around the Earth", "gravity". All of that "hogwash" that required thinking outside of stupidity.

I would love to do a study to see how many fundies rejected treatments that, in the future, came from embryonic stem cell research. Lets say they find a cure for most forms of cancer, alzheimers, and Parkinsons because of embryonic cells. Then what? Do fundies say "I want to die of those things because it was amoral in the first place" or do they throw their stupid irrational Middle Ages blankets aside and live?
