Judge Forces Obama Admin to Stop Funding Embryonic Stem Cell Research

Washington, DC -- A federal judge on Monday issued a decision forcing the Obama administration to stop funding embryonic stem cell research with taxpayer funds. The judge ruled the executive order Obama issued allowing such funding contravened a federal law prohibiting taxpayer funding of the destruction of human embryos.

The law didn’t stop Obama from breaking it. Why would a judge’s order? Obama will continue to steer taxpayer money into destroying embryos regardless of what any judge says. His contempt for the rule of law is unparalleled.

It is great news, but I have no doubt that Zero will ignore the ruling.

The irony is that there has NEVER been a ban on privately-funded research on embryonic stem cells. The FACT is that private corporations aren’t putting a penny into ESC research because they know that it is a waste of money. On the other hand, they ARE pouring billions into adult (including umbilical cord) stem cell research and are reaping the rewards. Adult stem cells have successfully been employed in treating over six dozen conditions.

Really, its more than just a waste of money; its an invitation to lawsuits.

The VA AG smacked abortion clinics in VA today too. naral is howling like banshees already and the governor hasn’t even signed off on it yet, but he will because it is written within the strict guidelines of the federal ruling on abortion. It is a good day to celebrate life.
Keep praying. We are finally winning some battles.

So an EO banning federal funds being used for abortion would be illegal also.

"....lol.....Judge Lamberth. He’s one of the few decent judges around....."

Wasn't Royce Lamberth one of Clinton's greatest stumbling blocks? I can't remember the details, but this judge was huge in stopping Clinton's agenda.

Bull crap. Hussein will ignore it.

A judge told Hussein the drilling ban was illegal. Hussein didn’t give a s**t, just issued a new one.

Now, if the judge would just declare Ozero’s first Executive Order null and void, we can get to his records....
