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.The initiative, Amendment 2, is so deceptively worded, that one might think that voting "yes" would be be a vote to outlaw cloning when, in fact, such a vote allows cloning to be carried out by scientists.
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 this attempt to enshrine cloning - this creation of human life - as a lawful and constitional "right" is to be done solely in order that this life can be destroyed. How utterly demonic.
Donn Rubin, chairman of the initiative’s sponsors — the Missouri Coalition for Lifesaving Cures — said: “The rhetoric of stem-cell opponents is out of step with more than 100 patient and medical groups that support this amendment… To call organizations like the Christopher Reeve Foundation and the Children’s Leukemia Foundation forces of evil is offensive and over the top.”What is "over the top" are Rubin's comments. His insistence that that the initiative "strictly prohibits any attempt to clone a human being" is a falsification of the truth, a rejection of basic biological science.
Please remember "The Rosary Crusade" to safeguard embryonic human life and prevent human cloning. We pray for our Blessed Mother's intercession. And may our Lord protect us from this evil.
