Bush has not "banned" stem cell research as the Liberal Media would like to play it - he has limited funding to the existing embryonic stem cell lines where the research can be more fully developed. There is no ban or limites on private funding for research in other lines.


Do you understand the process of a partial birth abortion - delivering an infant past the shoulders but holding the hips and legs in the birth canal ( because if the child is fully delivered it would be murder ) while you puncture the skull and evacuate the brainpan. The idea that the "health of the mother" is involved is a fallacy - because the most difficult part of the delivery is passing the head and shoulder thru the birth canal - which is already accomplished prior to the final action of the procedure - the evacuation of the brainpan.

Do you know they can not procede with a partial birth abortion on a child that is presenting breech ? They must reach in and turn the baby ( risking the mother ) so that the head is presented first so that they can complete the procedure that is supposed to be protecting the "health of the mother".
