(Video) Response To Michael J. Fox Ad On Missouri Amendment Two

Posted on October 24, 2006

Via Drudge:

Ad Response To Michael J. Fox running in Missouri tomorrow night; stars Jim Caviezel of ‘The Passion of Christ’ and Cardinals pitcher Jeff Suppan, who pitches Game 4 of World Series.

Missouri, don’t be fooled! Doug Edelman of the Conservative Voice explains.

The Amendment guarantees funding and provides protection from regulation for embryonic stem-cell research. It offers a blank check to biotech firms engaged in such research as the amendment denies the state the right to limit, restrict or deny state funding to anyone involved in embryonic stem cell research!

Where do these embryos come from? Cloning. Human cloning.

Proponents of the amendment deceptively claim that the process is not cloning, and that the amendment prohibits cloning a human being. They eagerly highlight language which “forbids human reproductive cloning.

This is patently false and deceptive. The language of the amendment specifies a prohibition on reproductive cloning… the cloning of a human embryo intended to implant in a womb and develop into a birthed person. Great. But it also requires state funding for the creation of human embryos which then legally MUST be destroyed. This is certainly fodder for an ethical debate which the deceptive language is designed to defuse or minimize.

I’m not sure what Caviezel is saying at the beggining. Allah guesses it could be Aramaic. Meanwhile, Rush is apologizing for suggesting Michael J. Fox might have been “acting” out his symptoms on his ad.
Update: Michael J. Fox admits he has not reviewed Missouri’s Stem Cell Amendment.

    This ad is absolutely marvelous. Rush also spent almost 3 hours on this issue (and one like it in Maryland) today. If you can’t afford to join the 24/7 network, let me know. I’ll get you hooked up so you can hear the show.

    Alex P. Keaton He is Not (Update: Patricia Heaton, Kurt Warner Video Response to Fox)
    Michael J. Fox showed up in another Dem’s stem-cell commercial today– for Ben Cardin in Maryland.
    Only problem is, Cardin has a vote on his record against stem-cell research. Oops!
    The Washington Post, predictably, slobbers over the ad:

    It seems that stem cell research is back in the political spotlight as a result of the Michael J. Fox political advertisement. But that’s not where the fun starts.

    Stem Cell: More Effective Alternatives
    Mature cells (embryo friendly) are less tumorigenic, and a more effective greater match in Scientist?s quest for disease cure, preventions, & genetic research. Don’t believe desperate DEMS or Hollywood (for that matter)

    Reading (and Writing) Isn’t Fundamental
    Did any of them actually read this document? Michael J. Fox admits he didn’t. I doubt any of the others did either. For those who actually want to read what all the hubbub is about, here it is.
