By now you have heard the Senators comments and how he decided that in the interest of science he was going to vote to extend stem cell research moneyies etc. It is very disturbing to me that he has done this for a number of reasons. The primary reason has been already and most eloquently stated by Keith Plummer at the Christian Mind.[see links] NO LOGIC
The next reason for me goes back to something I read recently in Hugh Hewitt's book, If it's not close, they can't cheat where he brings forward the idea that "There aren't enough targets that you have to shoot at your friends." He also makes the statement "...proving once again that in the nation's capital, it isn't about winning or even moving in the right direction; it is about getting noticed." [pg.113]
Bill Frist did a masterful job of revealing Democratic obstructionism in November of 03 and has been a good "leader" in the Senate. So I ask myself...why now Senator Frist? Supreme Court nominees to get appointed, recess appointments to support, and so many other issues why would you now break from your Commander In Chief and take a shot over his bow? Are you thinking about running in '08? Senator, you're a doctor, remember your oath? Look at the research Doctor...it doesn't square with this move of yours. The benefits of fetal stem cells are not proven. Center for Bioethics and Human Dignity
I don't want to take a shot at Senator Frist. I have no political asperations this issue isn't one of politics. To be sure government is involved but it isn't a political issue it is an issue of life. And Senator you should be ashamed.
Peace
