Caption * with family members who have adopted frozen embryo babies

Adopted frozen embryo babies? :eyes:

Look at him leering at the blonde woman toward the front of the picture.


Family members who have adopted frozen embryo babies applaud President Bush as he makes remarks, Wednesday, July 19, 2006, on embryonic stem cell research in the East Room of the White House in Washington. President Bush cast the first veto of his 5-year presidency Wednesday, saying legislation easing limits on federal funding for embryonic stem cell research 'crosses a moral boundary' and is wrong.

1. funny how all frozen embryos

appear to be white . . . . .

Guess that's why they were called the "Snowflake Babies."

7. Takes money to get implanted.

[progdonkey]

9. well, with all them brown-skinned illegals comin' across the border...

in order to have brown-skinned babies who will be US citizens by law, we must do everything we can to protect the aryan purity of America.

And you know how they breed like rabbits, so we can't allow any white women to abort a perfectly good future soldier in the War to Resubjugate Brown People.

16. so I did a search...

"snowflake baby n. a child grown and born from a frozen embryo. English, Medical

Etymological Note: The term probably is derived from Snowflakes, an embryo-adoption agency affiliated with Focus on the Family, a conservative Christian organization founded by James Dobson, who is the author of the 2004 citation."

I'm thinking "Dobson, Focus on the Family - bleccch..." Scrolled down a bit, and found:

"Citations:
2003 Suzanne Smalley Newsweek (Mar. 24) “A New Baby Debate” p. 53: Snowflakes, the first embryo-adoption program in the country, began matching donor embryos to infertile women in 1997 with the help of the conservative Christian group Focus on the Family.…So far, 19 Snowflakes babies have been born and 15 more women in the program are pregnant. While the still-small embryo-adoption movement has yet to spread beyond the Christian community, there is clearly a growing interest among infertile couples in embryo donation. 2004 James Dobson (CBS-TV) (June 13) “Face the Nation”: They’re called snowflake babies, that come from those frozen embryos.

2005 Democratic Underground (June 6) “The Top 10 Conservative Idiots”: There are currently about 400,000 frozen embryos in storage, and about 9,000 of the 400,000 frozen embryos are available for “adoption” by other people. People who adopt these embryos can get them implanted and attempt to have a so-called “snowflake” baby, which is somewhat Aryan-sounding but that’s another story. But guess what? Typically clinics will transfer up to four embryos to the uterus for possible implantation. And three out of four of those embryos die without developing into a fetus. So every time people try to have a snowflake baby, they’re killing three other “babies.”

Welcome to DU, stranger81. :hi:

2. what is a embryo baby and do those come with frozen wombs too?

can these wombs be quantified to equal the hundreds of thousands of specimens that are to be disposed of.

[arcane1]

3. rich white people... imagine that

[underpants]

10. This is done for TWO reasons

1. for the purely political statement that it is (don't let them fool you into feeling ashamed for seeing the political angle of this).

2. They ain't adopting no damned colored babies I'll tell you that no matter where the babies come from (don't let them fool you into feeling ashamed for seeing this as their end run around the adoption process).

4. "You wouldn't jump away from a massage, wouldja Toots?"

[Ian David]

5. Behold: The Snowflake Menace! Undead abominations of science...

On June 6, 2006, a group of thirteen "Snowflakes" were delivered in various Fundamentalist compounds around the globe...

The Snowflake Apocalypse has begun!


The Snowflake Children have only one thing on their mind... to destroy mankind!

Damn, Tony Snow and his army of undead Snowflake abominations!

13. OOOh Village of the Damned

good choice. It scared the life out of me back in the 60's when I was in third grade :scared:.

[blonndee]

6. Yummy. More cannon fodder for my war machine.

[Solly Mack]

8. So what do we call babies blasted a part by US bombs, whose

little mangled bodies are thrust upward and outward, causing tiny shreds of flesh and bone to snow down onto the ground below?

Culture of life...don't make me laugh

[Ishoutandscream2]

11. To me, he has the "Fuck you" smirk

"I know most 'Merkans out thar are for stem cell research, but I don't give a shit what they think." An evil, evil man.

[Virginia Dare]

12. Where's the room full of ....

Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Lou Gehrig's disease sufferers? Let's see you show your sorry-ass face around those people you evil son of a bitch.

[Ian David]

14. "What is it, Doc?"

"We've got to go back to June 19, 2006... President Bush is about to veto legislation that would cure your Parkinson's disease!"

"President Bush... you mean President Gore, right?"

"This is no time for jokes, Marty!"

"Bush? They elected Bush?"

"Oh, and we have to stop by the house to pick-up plastic sheeting and duct tape."

"Seriously? BUSH???"

[wicket]

18. Oh man, you're killing me

:rofl: :rofl:

[shaniqua6392]

15. He may have won this battle

but he will not win the war. Eventually we will have the right people in power who will put this through. When we do and we begin to find cures for diseases, the Repukes are not allowed to partake in our successes. Parkinson's cure for Dems only!!!

17. Somebody get me a snowplow and some rock salt. n/t
