But they swore it wouldn’t do that! Wrong! And Amendment 2 forbids anyone from discouraging “stem cell-related activity,” and makes it a punishable offense. So much for free speech. It looks like the biotech special interests got its’ $30 million worth.
- The first page of Amendment 2 claims to ban human cloning. A couple pages later, buried in the proverbial fine print, the amendment pledges protection for “somatic cell nuclear transfer.”
- Now that the cloning license is constitutionally protected in Missouri, there is a new demand for millions of fresh human eggs. But this is no problem for the cloners. Amendment 2 specifically allows fertility clinics to purchase women’s eggs for any amount of money. Thus, women’s fertility is put up for bid in the marketplace, and women’s bodies are commodified and sold to the highest bidder.
- To date, research scientists have failed to provide even one treatment for human patients with embryonic stem cells. Furthermore, trials in mice have repeatedly shown that the treatment will be problematic.

Perhaps research on stem cells from Liberals offers some cure? Aren’t Liberals supposed to be smarter, more understanding, more compassionate, and other wonderful things? Then clearly there must be a secret that may be revealed by such research!
Legalize harvesting of stem cell lines from Liberals!
Does this mean that all of the welfare mothers in Missouri can actually earn money without popping out kids like puppies for the taxpayers to support for life? HMMMMMM sounds like a great new form of welfare reform. I can see the window and Social Services now. “No checks this month, just haul your but down to the cloning clinic and sell an egg a month.”
Crude? Crass? Yep, but certainly a viable alternative to allowing employable chronic welfare recipients to make it their lifestyle of choice.
Ahhh…another conservative failure.
I like this whole “winning” thing.
