Democrat Urges Senate on Stem Cell Measure:Radio Address

[cal04]

President Bush's threat to veto a Senate bill that would fund embryonic stem cell research is a rejection of potential lifesaving cures, a Missouri Democrat seeking a U.S. Senate seat said Saturday.

``I must admit it is hard to understand that the president's first veto in six years would amount to saying no to doctors, researchers, patients and families,'' Claire McCaskill said in the weekly Democratic radio address.

The issue has created a rift among Republicans, and a recent poll shows about two-thirds of Missouri voters favor the measure. The same poll has McCaskill running slightly ahead of Talent.

"There are thousands of surplus eggs in fertility clinics in this nation that will be thrown away," McCaskill said. "Shouldn't we instead use them to value the life of a man with sickle cell anemia, a child with juvenile diabetes or a woman paralyzed from a spinal cord injury?"

1. Bush does not care about life under any circumstances

He hates people. Diabetics could be cured and a lot of other things could be done if he would just get the hell out of the way. I hate him.
