Foes rally against stem-cell issue

Ex-presidential aspirant Alan Keyes and two clergymen call for the defeat of an amendment on the Missouri ballot.
By KIT WAGAR

Local and national opponents of Missouri’s stem-cell initiative came together Monday in a rousing church revival that was part prayer meeting, part science lecture and part political rally.

Former presidential candidate Alan Keyes compared the initiative to terrorists who take innocent human life and to slaveholders who justified slavery by arguing that blacks were different. The Rev. Robert Finn, bishop of the Kansas City-St. Joseph Catholic Diocese, also compared the battle against the initiative to the war on terrorism, calling early stem-cell research “the wholesale manufacture and destruction of human life.”

And Rick Scarborough, a Texas minister who founded the conservative organization Vision America, called early stem-cell research “a devilish science” and urged church members to get involved in the campaign to block the initiative.

“They say this is a David-and-Goliath campaign,” Scarborough said. “Remember — David won.”

1. Not too long ago they punished Galileo

I would like to see these zealots sign a pledge that they would never use any medical advances we achieve through stem cell research.

4. LOL I told one that very thing just the other day!

At our Sunday peace rally, we were visited by a group of 9/11 conspiracy folks. Which is fine, since we are an inclusive group and many in our peace group are also in the 9/11 groups. But then one of the 9/11 folks started passing out anti stem cell pamphlets. We imediately told her politely that this was probably the wrong group for that message. She became belligerent and started yelling about Jesus and protecting life.

So then we told her that if what she was claiming is true, then every time a woman menstruates she is committing manslaughter and every time a man masturbates it is murder. She of course didn't agree so I said "Well then if you come down with a disease that stem cell research has found a cure for, I expect you to refuse treatment."

Shortly after that, she left.
