Anti-abortion group wants amendment to ban stem cell research

KWMU: Abortion opponents in Missouri want voters to decide a state constitutional amendment that would prohibit public funding for a type of stem cell research they consider to be human cloning. The Missouri Roundtable for Life says a law with that aim was undermined in 2006, when voters passed Amendment Two.  That measure protects all stem cell research in Missouri that's allowed by federal law. Paula Gianino with Planned Parenthood says the backers of this latest initiative are skewing the definition of "cloning" in an attempt to link it to abortion. "We find that that link is not appropriate," Gianino said. "To have a ballot initiative that would attempt to take away all funding from agencies and individuals who also refer women for abortion, we think is excessive and extreme and really, really dangerous." The ballot question is similar to ones filed by the Missouri Roundtable for Life that later stalled, following legal battles with Secretary of State Robin Carnahan over proposed ballot language. Ed Martin, with the Missouri Roundtable for Life said he's confident his group will get the issue to voters.

Good web site. Nice placing comments system. My apologies for the off-topic posting, yet I had been really amazed with Djokovic’s play in the final of the Australia OPen this year. The guy is definitely unrivaled. He proved he had been as formidable as iron. Just think about he he could whip Nadal who had been so encouraged to win and was really so pumped up while in the 5th set. I’m commencing to think that Djokovic has been doing some religious work to take some forces on his side that really help him win such matches against the very best players in the entire world
