Catholic Claire McCaskill Urges Support for Stem Cell Amendment

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Democratic Senate candidate Claire McCaskill on Tuesday urged Missourians to vote for a proposed constitutional amendment that would protect stem cell research and treatments in the state.
...
At a news conference near the Stowers Institute for Medical Research, McCaskill said Missourians will have a clear choice between hope for live-saving cures or criminalizing research that could save people's lives.
McCaskill openly disregards the teaching of the Church and chooses instead the cliches of those who would choose to destroy innocent human life. Is it not time for her bishop to have a little "chat" with her before she poisons the minds of more Catholics in open defiance of Church teaching?

How confused is she?
"Life does not begin in a petri dish, it begins in a womb," said McCaskill, who added that most the stem cells used in research are unfertilized and would be thrown away.
Typical...With her attitude on the sanctity of human life, she does not deserve to be a senator for the State of Missouri.
McCaskill, a convert to Catholicism, agreed that her stand put her in opposition to the Missouri Catholic Conference, which strongly opposes the initiative. Opponents say cloning for any purpose is wrong.
