I know that's an inflammatory headline, but yesterday Senate Democrats decided to hold hostage a bill that passed the House by a vote of 431-1. The bill would create a federal program to store umbilical cords -- which are typically thrown away -- that can be used to successfully treat all sorts of diseases.

Why would Democrats do this? Because they want to pair the uncontroversial umbilical cord measure with a very controversial embryonic stem cell research measure.

So, people will die because of Democrats' petty politics.

Disgusting.
