Right Wing Should Adopt 400,000 Frozen Embryos



...................

Senate and House Democratic leaders Harry Reid (D-NV) and Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) need to call these guys on their pious claims and immediately propose legislation that would fund an adoption program for all 400,000 of the frozen embryos stored throughout America. The first people who should step up to the plate and adopt one of these microscopic entities are the 37 Senators who voted against the stem cell research bill on Tuesday and the 193 members of the House who refused to override Bush's veto of the bill yesterday. Heck, the Bush family alone could probably adopt a couple hundred of them.

That leaves only about 399,500 of the little cells to find homes for, which is where Bush can start a faith-based, Christian program and enlist the help of James Dobson, at the ultraconservative Focus on the Family, who called the stem cell bill "barbarous legislation" and lauded the veto, calling Bush "a man of his word and a champion for the pre-born."

With the 1.5 million listeners they claim for their daily radio broadcast and the combined circulation of about 2.3 million subscribers for their magazines, Focus on the Family alone should be able to provide cozy little Petri dishes for the remaining cells by the end of July.

But if, by any chance, they turn out to be a bunch of hypocrites who don't really see these as living beings or who just don't give a damn enough to help them, Bush can always hit up those God-fearing -- and science-fearing -- people at the Family Research Council (FRC).

1. It's probably been mentioned elsewhere

but was it just me or does "snowflake" baby apparently refer not only to their frozen status, but to their WHITENESS as well?

We need some Michael Moore-style guerilla filmmakers to approach Repiglican Congressmen offering them an African Snowflake and offering to pay to have their lily-white wives inseminated. That might be even more funny and telling than watching them scurry away from military duty.

Or how about a website that e-mails every Repig Congressman and Senator and offers them one?

I'm tellin' ya: it could be big!

Snowflakes? I don't think so. Call 'em what they are: eugenics experiments. It's more than obvious that race was pre-selected. What else? Hair color? Eye color? Gender? Take a loooooong look at those photos.

Capt. Kirk: "Khannnnnnnnnnnnnn!" Know what I mean?

5. yes, and,

although snowflakes are teensy-tiny, they are all unique.

But yes, the whiteness of snowflakes is an apt comparison.

2. Yup. Republican women should start implanting them in their wombs

and bringing those babies to term. Then they can grow up to wear T-shirts that proclaim: "I'm glad I wasn't used for stem cell research".
