Comments on: A Look at the Michigan Ballot for 2008: Proposals: Marijuana, Stem Cells, the Senate, Health Care, Taxes, and More http://inkslwc.wordpress.com/2008/04/23/a-look-at-the-michigan-ballot-for-2008-proposals-marijuana-stem-cells-the-senate-health-care-taxes-and-more/ A blog that I post on whenever I see something that makes me want to go off on a Republican (Libertarian every once in a while) rant. I will cover stories from all over the nation and world, but I will try to cover as many stories about my home state of Michigan as I can (I'll also talk a lot about Texas, because Texas is awesome!). Note, all times are for the Eastern time zone, daylight savings time when applicable, so stop leaving comments that it's only noon in California and I said 3:00 P.M.

As for health care, we need to open up health care across state lines so that it encourages competition.

Because in a country that is stricken with recession, poverty, job cuts, and an overall sense of doom, we need more babies! The orphanages aren't full and we haven't spent NEARLY enough tax money on taking care of families who can't take care of their babies. It's like people who are voting for McCain simply because he is pro-life and anti-choice. There are issues WAY more important. For instance, the economy, the war (where more people are being slaughtered than all abortion clinics combined and multiplied times 10), and the heathcare crisis. I, personally, am concerned with the millions of people who are already alive. There are people DYING because they can't afford health care. Did you ever think that maybe, just maybe, if they found something that could save lives from human tissue, that maybe this could result in an inexpensive procedure that could save the lives of thousands who already exist?

Really I just wanted more information on the current Michigan proposals. However, I do not understand the statement about "I would love for females all over to take in those embryos.". Would there even be embryos available for research if ALL women were looking to take them in? Reproductive choices in Michigan have already been dramatically compromised under the current legislation. Perhaps you are coming from a more economically stable part of Michigan where the majority isn't poverty stricken, unemployed, and the underinsured aren't surrounded by job loss and school closings in a crashing economy and women are looking to take in all of the lost unborn souls they can find. Where are you coming from on this? Alright I am not claiming to understand stem cell research. Really I just wanted more information on the current Michigan proposals.
