"Steadfast" is code for "pigheaded."


sometimes beanorama likes to bring politics into so unpretty, and today is one of those times. i just don't understand how a president can decide that it's better to throw away unused embryos from fertility clinics than to use them to save and improve lives through stem cell research. no matter your take on death penalty, abortion, whatever, his actions prove he has a blind adherence to some stubborn doctrine. studies overwhelmingly show that the parents/donors of those embryos would prefer their unused embryos go to scientific research than be tossed. studies overwhelmingly show that adopting parents prefer to adopt already-born children that have no other place to go, rather than to use the leftover embroyos of other would-be parents. for bush to pretend all the millions of undeveloped embroys sitting unused in fertility clinics are better served in a freezer than in research just proves that he is so unpretty. ugh.

everyone knows someone affected by a disease that could be helped by stem cell research. once he's out, the next guy (or gal) will pass this measure. why is he so pigheaded?

Yes, he is that pigheaded. If I even started to delve into the degree in which he makes my blood boil, I might explode all over the reject back room.
