Yvonne Bailey GETS IT.

From Kathryn Jean Lopez at National Review Online:

Blacks vs. Cloning
Missouri pastor Yvonne Bailey takes on Amendment 2 in a new ad.

“I’m scared for our young women, especially lower-income minority women who might be deceived by money.”

So says Yvonne Bailey, a black pastor from St. Ann, Missouri, in a new ad produced by Missourians Against Cloning. In it the mom implores, “Protect our daughters. Vote no on Amendment 2.” (YouTubed here.)

Bailey continues, “The people behind Amendment 2 need thousands of human eggs for their experiments. Amendment 2 constitutionally protects human egg harvesting...a painful, risky, and sometimes deadly procedure.”

Bailey, who with her husband, Pastor Samuel Bailey, ministers to congregants of Restoration Assembly of God, tells National Review Online: “Our parishioners have been told about the deception in the fine print of Amendment 2.” She continues, “Our question [is]: Where will the eggs come from? And the answer is no doubt, from young vulnerable women with the majority of them being African American women. History will repeat itself using the poor disenfranchised among us for experimental reasons.”

The TV ad featuring Mrs. Bailey — which will begin running tonight throughout Missouri and is scheduled also to air during Oprah in St. Louis on Friday afternoon — comes on the heels of press conference and “Open Letter of Warning from State and National African American Leaders on Amendment 2.” In the letter, signers warn:

Amendment 2 says that it bans the buying and selling of eggs for human cloning. In reality, Amendment 2 creates a market for millions of eggs for cloning and medical experimentation. In fact, Amendment 2 creates a safe haven for human egg traffickers in the State of Missouri.

The fact is there are not enough human embryos in fertility clinics to do the massive experimentations envisioned by big biotech firms. Nationally, it is estimated there are only 400,000 human embryos stored in IVF clinics, and most of those are beyond the reach of medical and scientific experimentation.
Scientists and bioethicists warn us that millions of eggs will be needed to do the kind of human experimentation that big biotech firms want to do.

The biotech special interests behind Amendment 2 understand this, which is why they have hidden human cloning and egg trafficking in the fine print of Amendment 2.
