I know, its all a matter of opinion whether or not abortion is murder.  I've heard every side of the abortion issue and as a practicing Catholic, I will always be 100% prolife.  (Good thing I'm not going into politics.)  Even if I was not a Christian/Catholic I don't think I would support it.
My issue with fetal stem cell research is that these babies were not respected in life (murdered),  & by using them for their cells we are also disrespecting them in death.  
I am for research in other areas that don't involve abortion.

				To those who oppose this based on Christian law, do you not believe that the spirit leaves the body upon death? If so, corpses are just a sack of flesh destined to degenerate where buried. If the baby's spirit is already with God, then why not use the flesh for a good purpose?

 Are you saying that you believe it is a child when it is aborted?  That is another issue that everyone disputes, when life actually begins.
