Republican Party: Anti-Life, Anti-Progress, Anti-American

Bush has chosen to use is veto for the third time. Two of those three vetoes were used to block stem cell research. Yes...vital research that offers promise to millions of people suffering from many diseases.

Stem cell research offers the chance to grow new heart valvues, allowing for quicker and safer life-saving heart surgery.

Stem cell research offers possibilities to cure Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. It offers the chance to repair and replace nerves, giving the paralyzed hope. Stem cells are useful in practically every level of medical research.

What is the down side to stem cell research? Well, I guess you don't get to incinerate all those un-used embryos that don't get used for in vitro fertilization. Why is he so in favor of burning balls of cells rather than using it to save lives?

Bush's most consistent veto has been to condemn thousands of Americans to death, dementia or paralysis when science could help them. He has turned his back on science, on medicine, on life. Everyone in America should be disgusted by Bush's veto. You can disagree about Iraq. Some may still cling to the thin belief that we might someday accomplish something, though to date the decline of Iraq under our watch has been an absolute travisty.

But how could ANYONE think they are accomplishing anything by insisting unused embryos from fertility treatments be burned instead of used to save lives?

If the Republicans in Congress are unwilling to override Bush's veto on this, they will have defined their party as the anti-life party.
