Should have included fetuses.

Professor Tiger wrote:I am sympathetic to liberals when they try to help the poor, the sick and the hungry. But they do all kinds of things that go go way beyond those things which I strongly disagree with. That list would include environmental wacko-ism, like what they did in California, which CREATES poor, sick and hungry people in order to save a 2 inch fish. Another would be an staggering naivete negotiating with extremely evil people like the Iranians. A redux of Neville Chamberlain does NOT help the poor, the sick and the hungry. Another is abortion, where liberals who supposedly love the weak and the helpless and innocent have no problem with killing the MOST weak and helpless and innocent - babies.

“A well funded group established for the purpose of damaging Planned Parenthood’s mission and services has promoted a heavily edited, secretly recorded videotape that falsely portrays Planned Parenthood’s participation in tissue donation programs that support lifesaving scientific research. Similar false accusations have been put forth by opponents of abortion services for decades. These groups have been widely discredited and their claims fall apart on closer examination, just as they do in this case.”
Fetal tissue donation is heavily regulated by the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office for Human Research Protections, and it is one hundred percent legal. It requires informed consent from the woman donating the tissue, and neither she nor the donating organization may be paid, apart from what the HHS calls “reasonable payments associated with the transportation, implantation, processing, preservation, quality control, or storage of human fetal tissue.”

Thank you, Dr. Mengele. So it's got a beating heart, brains with measurable brain waves. lungs, a liver, and all those human organs up for sale, but it is not a human if that is inconvenient to somebody else?

Funny. That's exactly what slave owners used to say about slaves. They point at creatures with human brains, human hearts, human livers, human (black) skin and say, "that's not a human being. I can enslave them if I want to because it is convenient to me. You have no right to police my slave cabins. Slavery is a matter of my right to privacy. It is left up to me and my overseers."

Both are pure evil.

He is a man of the people, just like Hillary. They both care deeply about the economic struggles of average people.

Something tells me a Tiger is endorsing a Scott Walker.

Nuclear Deal Silent on Iran’s Parchin Military Plant, Bushehr

The Iranian nuclear deal reached in Vienna contains no reference to the Parchin military facility where most of Iran’s past nuclear arms-related work was carried out.

Additionally, the draft agreement made public on Tuesday contains no stated limits on Iran’s Russian-made Bushehr nuclear power facility that analysts say could produce plutonium for dozens of bombs.

On the nuclear power-generating Bushehr reactor, Henry Sokolski, director of the Nonproliferation Policy Education Center, said that leaving it out of the accord was a mistake.

“That reactor can produce enough plutonium for dozens of bombs per year,” he said. “Iran could remove the fuel from the reactor and use a small, cheap reprocessing plant to extract plutonium, and get its first bombs in a matter of weeks.”

The specific omission of Parchin is likely to be one main focus of congressional efforts to examine the agreement.

Iran, during the past 20 months of nuclear talks, refused to permit inspections of any military facilities and won that concession in the final accord announced Tuesday.

Parchin is a large military complex located about 19 miles southeast of the Iranian capital of Tehran.

Details of nuclear weapons work carried out by the Iranians at Parchin were revealed in IAEA reports since 2011. A November 2011 report said non-nuclear high-explosive tests were conducted at a Parchin facility that simulated the blast used to create a nuclear detonation.

The agency report said there had been “strong indicators of possible weapon development.” The suspicious activity included “modeling of spherical geometries, consisting of components of the core of a [high enriched uranium] nuclear device subjected to shock compression, for their neutronic behavior at high density, and a determination of the subsequent nuclear explosive yield.”

In 2012, the IAEA reported that Iran had constructed a large explosives containment vessel for “hydrodynamic experiments.” Those experiments are used in testing conventional explosives that create pressure on fissile material to initiate a nuclear blast.

As recently as February, another IAEA report outlined suspicious nuclear activity at Parchin, including vehicles, equipment, and construction materials at the site.

Iran has refused IAEA requests to inspect the site since 2012, when Tehran was first questioned about the facility. Satellite photographs after 2012 revealed that some areas were destroyed in an apparent bid to cover up the nuclear arms-related work.

A classified State Department cable dated Sept. 2, 2008 stated that China exported an industrial centrifuge to a company known as the Sara Company.

“Our information indicates that the Sara Company is associated with the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) and has procured items from other Chinese firms in the past on behalf of Iran’s Defense Industries Organization (DIO) and for the DIO subsidiary Parchin Chemicals Industries (PCI),” the cable, made public by Wikileaks, states.

Marie Harf, spokeswoman for the State Department, told reporters April 3 when asked whether Parchin would be inspected under the nuclear deal: “Well, we would find it, I think, very difficult to imagine a JCPA that did not require such access at Parchin.”
