Just a thought. This is an interesting idea, requiring those seeking an abortion to see ultrasound images. Its important that we consider the impact of our decisions. But I'd say it doesn't go far enough. There should be another law requiring federal legislators (and executive branch members) to watch children dying from severe diabetes and leukemia, to watch people with Parkinson's and Alzheimer's and ALS, requiring them to sit with their family members dying.
Then, when they vote to preserve a concept instead of actual people in need of help, they will be fully informed at just how crooked and empty their "morality" really is.
Notes:
And major kudos to the many house members brave enough to vote in favor of research despite the "anti-life" veto threat from our President.
I was really amazed that Bush would make the statement (paraphrasing) "I would not support the killing of a few to save many."
This goes completely against the war in Iraq. I thought the whole point was to get the weapons of mass distruction before many people died. Through out our history we have a rich tradition of honoring those who gave their lives so that others who came later could live free.
Also, he makes it sound like people are just waiting to setup their blackmarket baby trading operations. As I understand, no one will be killed with the specific intent to harvest their stem cells. Rather, the remains of those who died of natural causes will now be able to save lives. I could be wrong there. Maybe there is an emerging fetus market out there.
