Embryonic Stem Cell Research in NJ

"whew!"

A campaign for 40 days of prayer. Rosaries. Offering Mass. And a State I'd never have expected to vote down any expenditure of money, especially one disguised as a "good thing".. VOTED DOWN tax money to fund stem cell research.

They voted FOR using tax dollars to preserve Open Space.

Political Experts are left scratching their heads. Why would voters vote down stem cell (including embryonic stem cell) tax funded research? But vote FOR taxes to be used to preserve open space?

Maybe, ladies and gentlemen of the press, it's because NJ residents value and respect life more than was realized.

I'm willing to bet a similar motion, asking for funds for NON-EMBRYONIC research would have passed overwhelmingly.

Folks have had enough of science experiments on the weakest.

Praise God!

Fantastic news!

Do you think they will get the point, though?

Corzine will continue to push this, unfortunately.

Just about everyone is on board with the idea of NON EMBRYONIC research... let's have NJ lead in THAT, and actually DO SOME GOOD.

And maybe prove with the good done, that you don't have to do horrible things like destroy the innocent, in order to save others.

People driven by ideology tend not to get the point if it questions their philosophy--this goes for us all--but we still hope, and do everything we can to persuade others. We'll never have a culture of life until hearts and minds are changed.
