Obama Scraps President's Bioethics Council After Forcing Embryonic Funding

The President's Council on Bioethics is no more. With a one-day notice, the members were told in a letter from the President that their services were no longer required. Pack up, get out. Forget the fact that they had a couple of interesting reports coming out soon, one more meeting, and that the Council's tenure would expire come this September.

Well, I am glad to see that the president is working to shrink the size of government. The paygrade for the council’s work must be VERY high.

Calling Doug Kmiec, paging Doug Kmiec. Professor Kmiec, please pick up the courtesy phone. You buddy, Barry, is so keen to reduce abortions and is really in favor of all those pro-life things and just wants to do the right thing and is such an adorable fuzz-ball—if he could just break himself of this habit of doing monstrously symbolic, megaphone-symbolic things like wiping the floor with the pro-life actions that his do-nothing predecessor George W. Bush did (not) do.

Barry Soetoro’s ethics are different from those of the panel ... was Charles Krauthammer still on that panel?

Many years ago, Lenin showed beyond a doubt that any consideration of ethical systems merely gets in the way of forced collectivization.
