I used "pro-abortion" intentionally. A person from Massachusetts would have to be more than just pro-choice to worry about the impact of a Roe v Wade reversal. They'd have to be a crusading pro-abortionist.

As CiC, he has more power to make a change like this than on an issue like abortion, but I doubt that he'd do it. --Great reading comprehension.

That was Obama's position in 2008 (speaking of flip flops). You might vote based on obviously empty rhetoric, but I vote on probability of outcome. You can be tediously thoughtless sometimes.

Stem cell research isn't in any jeopardy, just federal funding for it. It's certainly not a big thing compared to our economy or the government's out-of-control fiscal house. You're welcome to your own opinion on this, but I'm confident that a deficit-hawk like Amnorix would agree with me on this point.
