5) "Why has stem cell research been curtailed?"

How has it been curtailed? The US Government has decided not to fund it, but private funds are certainly legal to use. Are you claiming that anything NOT funded by the government is thus being curtailed?????

If so, I have a number of examples that are not presently being funded, in spite of the fact I think they are things we shouls be doing.


6) "Why are women denied the choice of abortion?"

Are they being denied the choice, or just US Government funding for that choice.

Are YOU ( or rather, the US citizen who objects to something) to be forced to PROVIDE something by the use of taxes), just because anyone else wants it? We have a process by which, if the MAJORITY of people want the government to pay for something, they can elect a like minded administration and Congress. But should that mean the enforced provision ( by those tax dollars paid to support the government) of those things that some object to?
