After 34 years of debate on the issues of abortion, we have seen a decrease in abortion, and the availability of abortion. There have been wins and there has been progress made on the issue, despite the fact that over 1 million children are being killed each year. During the time that abortion has been “not illegal”, a majority has come to see that abortion terminates a human life and needs to be wholly illegal or greatly restricted. It’s taken a lot of time, but truth and science is cutting through all the pro-abortion rhetoric.

The culture of death, though, has moved the discussion to the realm of cloning and embryonic stem-cell research. Despite the fact that adult stem-cells have been used for decades in more than 70 human treatments of everything from bone marrow transplants to juvenile diabetes, and the most recent discovery of amniotic stem-cells that are equally as viable as embryonic stem cells, politicians and scientists are continuing to pursue this unethical process and using rhetorical arguments to justify it.

The question is, especially in light of the fact of new and equally viable alternatives, will people begin to “see the light” as they have grown to understand in the abortion debate?
