Abortion / Cloning, What's the Difference? What does Team Ose know that the National Right to Life Doesn't?

I had to stop and ask myself, self... why do all those Bible-thumping Right-Wing Wacko Pro-Life Groups include Human Cloning on their scorecards???
The National Right to Life, the Eagle Forum and the CRA/NFRA all take Human Cloning seriously, but put cloning and abortion into the same (divisive) life column.
Doug Ose said on the radio that every abortion is a tragedy. I agree with him, but unlike O-Si I mean it...
I posted Doug Ose's clip on the radio several weeks ago
Every Abortion is a Tragedy -
HR 503, Roll Call #89 April 2001 - Unborn Victims of Violence Act - Voted NO. While every abortion is a tragedy according to Ose, murdering a fetus during the commission of a crime doesn't merit a criminal penalty.
H Amdt 27 to HR 503, Roll Call #88, weaken the Unborn Victims of Violence Act - this vote occurred before Ose voted against the act itself, further underscoring Ose's hardcore Pro-Choice position. The "Fetus" is not a life, therefore Ose voted no on making it a crime to hurt an unborn child in the womb and voted to gut the bill he knew might pass. No wonder why he scores 32% from National Right to Life.
In addition - in 1999, HR 2436 Roll Call #464 - Ose voted no on the Unborn Victims of Violence Act by voting Yes on a Hostile Substitute. Then on HR 2436 Roll Call #465 the actual Act itself which Ose voted No on as well.
Staying consistent after 1999 / 2001 - in Feb 2004 H amdt 465 to HR 1997 Roll Call #30 - Ose voted Yes to a hostile substitute to the Unborn Victims of Violence Act.
According to Ose, every Abortion is a tragedy, except an unborn child in the womb of a Woman who is assaulted or raped.
Well maybe we could stop Abortions if we taught kids about not having sex, correct? Ose doesn't think so (explains his 'mixed' record on family issues and his 48% score from the Eagle Forum)
H Amdt 377 to HR 3061 Oct 2001- transfer $33 Million for Sex education to Abstinence programs - Ose Voted No. Apparently, the right to have sex as a teenager is more important to Ose than stopping teenage pregnancy.
H Amdt 221 to HR 2660 Roll Call #352, July 2003 - Prohibit Taxpayer Money for sex research - Ose voted No. Now that we have de-funded abstinence programs, we need to study the results with more tax dollars, right?
To be continued...
"Every Abortion is a tragedy, except an unborn child in the womb of a Woman who is assaulted or raped"
It's still a tragedy and aborting the innocent baby is not the answer.
It's a good thing my mother didn't abort my sister after she was raped 51 years ago. Thank goodnes Ose wasn't consulting my mother in her decision.
Please note - that I will be answering the question I raised at the beginning of the post, but there is important education that must occurr before the answer.
