Stopping Stem Cells From Becoming this Year’s Gay Weddings
Thank you CalBlog for the updating our story “Democratic Senator Ortiz Joins Conservative Republicans in Stem Cell Fight”:
Sen. Deb Ortiz has lost her show-down with the stem cell folks at the California Institute of Regenerative Medicine but the stem cell folks have decided to, um, give careful and full consideration to her comments – almost a ballot initiative – on their conflict-of-interest rules and their open meetings. Looks like someone, someplace has decided to start playing their politics a little more smartly. Finally. The last thing state Democrats needed was a show-down over stem cells which, along with the parental notification initiative expected to be on the November ballot, could have brought out a rash of conservative voters to defeat the anti-union measures designed to weaken Democrat’s strong-hold over state government.
Notwithstanding our desire to in fact have conservative voters turn out in November, stem cell research is important for saving and improving lives, not to mention being good for the state’s economy. Having it stuck in a political morass, wasn’t good for anyone.
