The GOP and fundies are more insidious than is usually obvious. In power they will shut down a lot of medical research and will certainly stop all stem cell research that violates their conscience. Even if "anti conscience" research proves to have the ability to save millions of Americans from suffering and early death they will FORBID it.
After all suffering and death is noble for Christian fundamentalists. You are supposed to suffer and die even early for your sins against God. We must all remember what is behind their radicalism and how it could effect you personally should you become ill.
And if you are unlucky enough to be severely disable and and horrendous pain, you must endure that pain with dignity. It is GOD'S way to show his love for you.
We are faced with this twisted logic every day. AND THEY ARE MAKING GAINS. Look at who is in Congress and is controlling the agenda in so many ways. Kim Davis is just one of many who demand to control your life and destiny. Unless you kick them back they will continue to make gains. They have NOT lost. Look at how many legislatures these goons control at the state level.

(10,602 posts)The GOP does not believe that government should fund medical research that only the private sector should. Medical research has been degraded by their policies. Adult stem cells show promise but it is important to research all lines of stem cells. And embryonic stem cells show the promise in leading to quicker remedies.

(3,290 posts)are really pushing my envelope. At some point it would seem that the "good Christians" would stand up and say enough of this phony religious piety. People are hurting and even dying from this rank stupidity and there is no excuse for it, not even a made up biblical one. It is beyond sickening.
