That was one of the few amendment votes in the country that did anything good.  It's also a direct slap in the face to the Shrub's
anti-life ban on support for stem cell research.

What really amazes me is that right-wing idiots want to ban stem cell research on the theory that it "kills babies."  Yet they make
no effort to preserve the ganglia (not-yet-fetuses from which stem cells are harvested).  They completely ignore the fact that even
though no stem cells are harvested, they are all destroyed.  These are eggs that have been fertilized in a laboratory but are not
needed because the mother has already a received fertilized egg back from the lab.  Whether stem cells are harvested or not, the
tissue is destroyed.

So which lives are being "saved" by the National Moron's ban on support for stem cell research?
