Amendment 2 Supporters - Ignorant or Liars?

Michael J. Fox was in the state yesterday to stump for Claire McCaskill and to promote passage of Amendment 2 which requires the cloning of humans for research and killing.

"I'm a one-issue guy. I'm about stem cells," Fox said Thursday in an interview before joining state Auditor Claire McCaskill here at a restaurant...

Noticably absent was the adjective "embryonic" in describing stem cells...

To him and millions of others, Fox said, stem cell research offers the hope of potential treatment and cure.

Again, conveniently missing from the article is any distinction of embryonic and adult stem cells. This seemingly deliberate attempt to cloud the issue by suggesting that all stem cell research is the same is a disservice to the readership of the Post and the citizens of the State of Missouri.

Fox said he was aiding McCaskill because "she's very much a champion" of stem cell research - including Amendment 2...

Michael J., by such comments, has revealed that he is either a deceitful liar or an ignorant shill regarding both Amendment 2 and the "champions of stem cell research"...Hopefully, the latter is the case.

All of us, including the Church, are true and enthusiastic supporters and "champions of stem cell research", provided innocent human life is not destroyed in the process. While McCaskill and company might be "champions" of immoral embryonic stem cell research, it must be noted that she and her "party" are also "champions" of the culture of death.

It should come as no surprise then, that while she has zero regard for the inviolability and dignity of human life at its very earliest stages, she also has no regard for the health of women whose lives will be endangered by "egg harvesters."

Her position on Amendment 2 also demonstrates that she advocates usurping the rights of of the state, its citizens and taxpayers by denying them a voice in the funding of the "Clone and Kill" amendment.

It must be noted that those who support Amendment 2 have no problems giving public monies to private enterprises for unethical and immoral purposes, from which Missourians will receive nothing (except a request for more money).

Fox said he respects those who oppose the research for religious reasons, but added, "I don't respect the manipulation of them" by those who use the word "cloning." Fox also objects to opponents' claims that women's eggs would be harvested. Fox noted that Amendment 2 would include bans on cloning and egg harvesting.

Fox apparently hasn't lost his ability to read from a script...

Bets are that Fox has not a clue what deceptions lie hidden in the Amendment language; that is, we hope that he is woefully ignorant of the issues. It's either that - or - he is a blatant liar. Those are the only possibilities for speaking in such a manner.

Perhaps, because of his disease, his following of leaders of the culture of death is due to his diminished capacity for understanding the facts. We can only pray that the Lord opens his eyes to the horror being done to his and our unborn brothers and sisters.

Let us not forget that each one of us began our life journey as an embryo - let us not forget, as well, that our Lord, too, began His human nature as one these little ones.
