Why is Stemcell research/Abortion not supported based on not taking a human life but war IS supported?

Question

What about the people who are already here? Does noone care about the children or people who are killed in the war that conservatives support?

I understand why killing is considered inhumane, but there's the reality of what to do with all those people. Who will house and feed all these children that you do not want aborted? Do conservatives support wefare? Take the children from poor mothers and give them to the rich to house and feed?

How can our president be against much needed stem cell research saying its murder and be part of and condone killing women and children? Isnt that hypocritical? Are human beings less of human beings if they are alive already?
I do not understand this way of thinking, do you? Please explain...

Just turn on your tv's and watch...
War IS killing children RIGHT NOW
Im seeing Bush veto stem cell (Im not taking a side here) But it leads me to wonder hearing about the sanctity of life on one channel and the loss of inncent life on another channel, in a war he supports. I do not think this is a stupid question, its one I wonder about because it doesnt make sense and Im wondering about it. On one hand conservatives who support Bush say life is sacred, in another they say innocent victims of war is justified. One one hand abortion should be abolished, on the other welfare is being cut. It's confusing no matter what side youre on

Answer 1

Because George W. Bush is ...The DECIDER! That's why.

Answer 2

You seem to think the President wants to go to war. This is not true. War is the final option that is only used when negotiation has failed. The Clinton administration gave away every concession they could think of and it only emboldened the other side.

You correctly point out that children and civilians are being killed. That is because Hezbollah is a pack of cowards who hide behind women and children. They are also targeting civilians in Israel with their missiles.

Finally in you long-winded question you bring in stem cell research saying that the President is against it. This in not true. The President is only against public funding of embryo stem cell research.

The President has no objection to public funding of stem cell research on placenta stem cells which are virtually identical to embryo stem cells and you don't have to kill babies to get them.

But if you really want to kill babies to get stem cells for research, you can do it. It is legal but you just can not use government money to do the killing.

Answer 3

That's easy! Just look in the religion section of Yahoo Answers. The fundamentalist right is all over.

Notice when asked serious questions, there is no original thought. They quote from a book as if hypnotized. The yell slogans like "alleluia" and "Praise Jesus."

Religion is being used the same way to make Presidents infallible like it was used in the Middle Ages to make Kings and Queens infallible. Some things never change.

Answer 4

It is not about preserving life that is just what the politicians use as an excuse. It is really about the potential for success. Adult stem cell research has produced vast success. Where as embryonic stem cell research as just produced fast growing deadly tumors. There is obviously no money in it so why continue to support something that has failed every time. That money could be better spent on adult stem cell research.

Answer 5

As I see it, we've 4 wars happening on the prompt. a million The warfare in Iraq – inaccurate and unfounded. Iraq had no W.M.D.s or some thing in any respect to do with the assaults of 9/11 2 The warfare in Afghanistan. This warfare might want to were received alongside in the past and may were if no longer for the Bush administration’s insistence on invading Iraq. We had the favor of the individuals in the back of going into Afghanistan, yet misplaced sight of what changed into “accurate”. 3 The warfare on drugs – a non-winnable warfare and a waste of taxpayer money. No authorities can legislate “own duty” nor might want to they conflict. 4 The warfare on the middleclass – even as a u . s . outsourcers pretty a lot each genuine activity, the middleclass can not make a residing and the lose of tax gross sales necessary to maintain our u . s . secure has been misplaced. My help is for the yankee people, no longer the "wars" we've happening that are for my section, killing our economic equipment to boot as our u . s ..

Answer 6

this outcome is hypocritical, but i think it's not the end outcome to compare, but what provoked us...the situation that occurred and the reaction we have to it. if u look at it that way, then it's not so hypocritical. basically some people see abortions/stem cell research as taking away an innocent life, whereas the war is against those who threatens our life/well-being or has caused extreme suffering to others...they see it as more like there is no better option than war to stop those people. stopping embryos/fetuses from being born is not justified to them.

Answer 7

One could argue there is a difference between an innocent child, and somebody that is trying to kill you. All human life is not the same. When a person proves themselves to be a danger to other humans, the best form of protection is to eliminate the threat. Sadly, innocent people die in wars, but that is the fault of the people that provoke the war.

Answer 8

Some would argue that stem cell research IS taking a human life.

Answer 9

because those heroes who fight in our wars are given the CHOICE of fighting and they KNOW what they are risking.

And noone condones the killing of women and children because they are already here, that is stupid.

Who will house and feed them? well, the people who already house and feed all of the other unwanted chidlren, the american taxpayers. I would much rather pay for that than know that that child will never be given the opportunity to fight for what it believes in as the rest of us were given the opportunity to do.

Answer 10

simple explanation: GWB says what he thinks people want to hear irregardless of the truth. he waves the banner of being on a holy quest, when in fact, Jesus told us to love one another no matter what. double standards are the hallmark of those with evil in their hearts and self-love is in their minds.
