Am i supposed to care about snowflake babies?

[cushla_machree]

Why should i care if a bunch of white 'christian' people got to use someones discarded embryos?

So is Bush telling me that if i have to undergo Invitro fertilization, that i can't do what i want with my extra embryos? Do i have no choice but to be forced to 'adopt' them out to some crazy wacko christians? Is that what this little veto signing party was about?

I'd rather freeze my eggs indefinitely than have someone else steal or take them away and raise them on me.

You know, those snowflake babies aren't 'spare' parts at all. The young men and woman fighting in this war are, though. Just looking at bush talking about life makes me vomit.

I would donate my own eggs if I could for science to use, if it would help my friend with diabetes. That is really what this is, about choice. And what choice we have with our fertilized eggs.

1. Babies are precious to Bush

How do you expect him to continue his eternal war against terraists?

2. They are soulless undead abominations intent on destroying Humanity...

they must be stopped at any cost.

3. They aren't babies. They are blobs of human cells on

a petrie dish. I have grown scrapings from my person on petrie dishes when I was in school that achieved a higher status of evolution that those blobs of frozen cells

4. snowflake babies?

what the hell is a snowflake baby?

5. An frozen embryo that somebody has paid money for to be

implanted into their own womb. In other words, they use somebody elses embryo and carry the baby to term.

7. Aren't there birds and reptiles

that do this with eggs?

To me this sort of thing DEFINES opprtunistic, if not thieving opportunism. And "snowflake just sounds like another marketable moniker for dulicity, like "culture of life" or "ownership society."

Ick.

9. Something having to do with the debate over stem cells. At least that what

Bush is using them for.

6. The operative word is "flake" ... Mr. Brownback goes to Washington

"During a debate over the most recent (July 2006) stem cell research bill, Sen. Brownback brought three small children to the senate floor and claimed that these children and others like them, conceived through invitro fertilization, may have been killed as embryos if stem cell research was approved.<15> Under the bill's proposal, however, only those embryos destined to ultimately be discarded would have been used for stem cell research.<16>

This guy is, how shall I say it, a bit odd, if you know what I mean :silly:

What part of "blatant lie" didn't he understand when he pulled this stunt on the floor of
the United States Senate? He's a disgrace and the people who voted for him in 2004 should
be ashamed at their gullibility.

8. Wasn't Snowflake a white gorilla baby? nt

10. White and frozen.....just like their rich parents hearts !!!!

11. H.R. 810 would have no impact on them.

It didn't prevent embryo adoption and scr has nothng to do with abortion. The chimp, the coward that he is is hidding behind kids to appease his religious right base

[cushla_machree]

13. Thats what makes me so mad

It was about discarded embyros! It wasn't making them to use them for 'parts.' They are already going to be destroyed! BUsh just set back our country another year to appease the wacko right, who clearly have no grasp on science and the fact that none of the embryos in question were EVER going to be people!

12. the one...

...who gave Bush the finger has potential.
