Ohio Pro-Lifers Want Bill Banning $ for Embryonic Stem Cell

Columbus, OH (LifeNews.com) -- Now that Gov. Bob Taft's Third
Frontier initiative has been approved by voters, pro-life groups and
lawmakers in Ohio want the state legislature to pass a measure
making sure none of the funds will be used to pay for embryonic stem
cell research. Karen Tabor, a spokeswoman for House Speaker Jon Husted, tells the Associated Press that members of the state legislature could consider such a proposal as early as next week.
Senate President Bill Harris put a similar bill on hold before
Tuesday's election but promised more hearings on it afterwards.
The Third Frontier Initiative, known also as Issue 1, approved
various programs such as building and road repairs and high-tech
funding in one package. Pro-life groups don't want the $500 million
set aside for high-tech projects to be used for the research, which
destroys unborn children in their earliest days.
Some pro-life advocates agreed to support Issue 1 provided the state
legislature approved the limit on using taxpayer funds for embryonic
stem cell research.Barry Sheets, a spokesman for Cincinnati-based Citizens for Community Values, said he's worried that language in the initiative saying the money will be spent "without limitations" will prevent the bill.Taft vetoed a ban on using state dollars for embryonic stem cell research in June, much to the chagrin of pro-life advocates. However, he said in August he would make sure the money didn't support new embryonic stem cell research conducted after that point.Pro-life groups worry that taxpayer money will be used eventually because the order expires at the end of Taft's term.

Initial trials using embryonic stem cells have proven disastrous. In
one case, for instance, Parkinson's patients who were injected with
embryonic stem cells ended up growing hair in their brains.
Adult stem cell research has proven to be far more promising,
offering treatments for everything from heart disease to breast
cancer.
------------------------------------------------------------
There has been no human trials in the united states on parkinsons
people. If they were I would apply for the research. All the research were done with mice god damnit.Two adult stem cells aren't elastic enough to be manipulated right now and are more restrictive than embryonic stem cells. Embryonic Stem cells are much more flexible. Three I have personally lobbied for bills with stem cell limitations. Four the cells that scientist and doctors use arent vilable enough to grow into a human being - at least on thier own. That is not too say we can't use both forms of research. But heres a question for you all.
Why the fuck do I have to suffer I have to suffer for these bastards belief system? Sure an embryo has the potential to grow into a living human being but arent I allready born.My hands have dyskensia, my legs are stiff, sometimes i can't make it too the bathroom by myself. or I fall to the floor and have to crawl to the nearest chair. Now I the freaks want to ban me from thier churches , call me an embryo farmer and a toddler killer, take away my ssdi, and now insult me and blatantly lie about stem cell research. It makes me just want to give up. Sorry for the rant but am thourghly pissed.
