Human Clones?  Although the writer of the following article sounds like he may have no problem with abortion ("Stem-cell research, or therapeutic cloning, does not create a human life, does not create a sentient creature at all."), he provides vital information and insight into the latest  - and most serious - deviant scientific activity that society will have to deal with

        by Matt Ridley, WSJ Tuesday December 31, 2002, Opinion, p A14."

The "National Organization of Women (NOW)" recently announced that the election cycle for 2004 will prominently include a pitched battle to preserve abortion rights for women (i.e., killing their offspring) under the continuing cynical rubric "choice".  Whose Choice?  As in many other spheres of public interest, these "liberals" continue their articulate, arrogant and asinine assault on a moral nation.  The editorial  listed below is a further call to battle.  OK, let's have at it!
