erv : Oklahoma legislator moves to make scientific research illegal:
[Mike Reynolds, state senator of Oklahoma, on a bill that makes any and all embryo research that potentially destroys an embryo illegal] "My motivation is to protect unborn children."

[actually means] "Live children can fuck off. Who the fuck gives a shit about born babies? LOL, or grown ups? Yeah, fuck that shit!"

Live children can't be used to punish women for having sex.

On behalf of my home state, I apologize.

So is he trying to force a Supreme Court show down with Obama just lifting the ban on funding?

Let's be logical about this?

Is making embryo research that destroys embryos illegal actually going to cause any of these "unborn children" to be carried to term? Um. No.

So he's pandering to a virtual constituency "for the sake of the children!"

Wanna bet he has (cunning) plans for re-directing those research funds?

That pretty much sums up the whole anti-choice position ... "we're only pro-life until it's too late to terminate. After that, we don't give a crap."
