About the stem cell issue, you are confused. Sucess has only come from using. ADULT
stem cells, none of which you speak of has occurred from FETAL stem cell research.

Roe v wade is the law to murder but murder(war) is immoral!
The left really should be agianst abortion just think how many millionaires and billionaires you can tax 99% or how many people will be enslaved to social programs or how many people could vote Democrat.
But the again thanks to Margaret Sangers work population control of less desireable citizens they use to call that eugenics.
Today they call it hiding behind women' rights then they say they don't want Government in their personal lives but have no problem getting in personal lives themselves.
If roe v wade was the standard to live by then any other issue would be the same but it's not.
Call it what it is murder.
Edit to add:
This topic is insane the issue is insane the left will fight tooth and nail for a fish,a bug, a plant a tree but when it comes to a fetus oh hell no.

it ethical to obtain stem cells from human fetuses and umbilical cords? Fetal stem cell research may ethically resemble either adult or embryonic stem cell research and must be evaluated accordingly. If fetal stem cells are obtained from miscarried or stillborn fetuses, or if it is possible to remove them from fetuses still alive in the womb without harming the fetuses, then no harm is done to the donor and such fetal stem cell research is ethical. However, if the abortion of fetuses is the means by which fetal stem cells are obtained, then an unethical means (the killing of human beings) is involved. Since umbilical cords are detached from infants at birth, umbilical cord blood is an ethical source of stem cells.

It's killing an unborn child.
Anyone who "chooses" not to get involved then passively condones it.

Value statements cannot be proven or disproven. They are opinions. I dont care is some scientists think killing of humans that do not contain mind is "unethical" or "murder". I dont agree with them, and there are many who dont agree too.
For your information, The Center for Bioethics and Human Dignity seems to be an ideologicaly driven institute (Christian), and they even have intelligent design advocates among them. They are biased.

I want abortion to become once again illegal because of what it is. It kills an innocent human being. At conception exists a single celled living human. This is fact. From conception forward it is growth and development directed by its fully human DNA. It is its own body distinct from the mother's. A DNA test proves this. So, what's your point? No religion, no opinion expressed. Are you able to respond likewise?

Does the community raise the children that are born & not wanted? NO
Do mothers that are not allowed for whatever reason to abort, and throw their newborns in the trash. Are they part of the community you speak of?
The problem is just that. The Community. The Community needs to stay the hell out of peoples business. What the woman across the street wants to do about her un-wanted pregnancy, IS NONE OF MY BUSINESS. Nor yours.
To your wife or sister or dear female friend voice your male opinion. But to all other women, mind your own business. When you are able to conceive, carry, and give birth to a child wanted or not. IMHO that's when we as men can open our mouths to the issue. Until then, just shut the hell up.
It has always amazed me that most who argue this subject, don't have children. I wonder why? So to all women involved in this thread. We men would not be her if not for you. If I have offended any woman in this thread please accept my sincere apology. Roe vs Wade= a privacy issue. The decision is the womans, not the community.
Law is not based on your values or opinions. In the realm of reality some actions are legal and some are illegal.
I presented an extremely concise scientific basis for why abortion should again be legally termed murder.
