Where's the outcry?

Woman gets windpipe made of stem cells

Um, where is the Republican outcry now? Why didn't the GOP and their "moral majority" use their moral superiority and power to demand that this woman not receive the medical treatment? During elections, they tell us how Democrats are evil because any use of stem cells is against God's will, is murder, is playing with forces we have no business in, and all sorts of much nastier (and of course ludicrous) accusations.

This is the same mentality that once opposed blood donation and organ transplants because it was eternally damning to souls, or objected to any kind of pain management during childbirth, which would rob a woman of the opportunity to feel Christ's pain.

Oh wait, that's right, the opposition to stem cell research and application is just empty Republican rhetoric that they haul out only for elections. They actually want medical advances to fix injuries, cure diseases and lengthen lifespan. They just say they're against those things when they misrepresent what medical research is about, in order to "energize their base".
