The stem cell research thing comes from Bush being against federal funding for research on embryos not already harvested. This would hardly stop stem cell research, as private funding will surely continue.

The abortion issue has remained controversial despite the strong unlikelihood that RvW will ever be overturned. Even if it ever was, the matter would revert back to the states. Hardly a reason for women to hold onto their precious wombs for dear life. There will still be places to go to kill your baby legally. So breathe a big sigh of relief on that score.

The gay marriage issue should have been left well enough alone. Civil unions were sweeping the country (albeit at a slow pace, but some progress is better than none) before this frenzied scramble to throw this issue in peoples' faces like so much doggie poop that people just can't stand it. Now, gays have set themselves back by not being smart and biding their time. Whose fault is that?

As for gov't meddling in health care, that is the last thing anyone with only an ounce of common sense wants to see, as gov't never makes money, it only collects it. Once it takes over health care, count on it to pick your pocket and everyone else's to pay for the health care. Of course, there won't be enough money to go around, so the care will have to be rationed. Just take a look at Canada to see just what a bit of rationing will do.

Amen and amen. You spelled it out just perfectly; thank you!
