"Kill the babies, Save the murderers" is an attitude that makes me uncomfortable. The issue is not so black and white to me but various shades of gray. (I have a step-son with diabetes and also wish for a cure ASAP.) I not sure that your claims that Bush and/or religious people don't have the right answers but you do, should not be questioned the same way you question them. I'm not saying who is right or wrong because I just don't know. I am looking for answers, though.
I just watched an interview on CNN of a stem cell researcher who stated that research is moving along quickly in other countries. His only regret was that the USA was not smack in the middle of it. No single ideology (Bush) is holding anything up.
In the USA, we have a government system of checks and balances. If there is one branch that is out of control at this time, it's not the executive branch. It's the judicial branch. Judges have gone far past interpreting the law to actually making the law. What's more dangerous, tight controls or no controls?
The attitude that "I know what's best" is not exclusive to religion by any means.
