Bush Vetoes Stem Cell Bill - Thanks Goodness We Are Saving Those Discarded Embryos



Recommended Posts

Another example of someone imposing his own personal views on others and causing tremendous suffering in the process in the name of "morality." Who cares if hundreds of thousands of people suffer horrible diseases that could be cured, let's choose instead to save all those discarded embryos leftover in fertility clinics even though they feel nothing, know nothing, are not human life, and will never be human life. Let's make this choice, forcing a personal view of morality on everyone, even though the large majority of Americans disagree.

Good idea. I like it.

Marjon, of course Green is on your side on this debate. She believes in recycling.

This veto got me to thinking about what the role of a president is. I don't expect him to go along with majority rules just for the sake of it, but do we want him to be totally guided by his own values and morals, and ignore what we as a country might want?

Hit post too soon. I didn't mean to say that we as a country agree on this, or any other issue 100%.

I couldn't agree more. My mother has alzheimers, and my 14 year old son hates Bush for no other reason than he is slowing down the development of treatments for this horrible disease. I hope there is a special corner in hell for people who would do such a thing.

Hi Mark, Stem cell research is very important. It is crucial that this research move forward. For people such as myself who have Multiple Sclerosis it is of a more pressing nature also.

Man is there anything about Bush that I don't hate? Nup, can't think of anything.:)

I'm staying out of this discussion....except to say that Bullseye Original Barbecue sauce is very much superior to KC Masterpiece. Try it and see if you don't agree.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
