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.

Not to mention the fact that embryonic stem cell research has produced nothing of value. Adult stem cell research holds promise, although you will notice news stories usually just refer to “stem cell research” when reporting positive results, hoping to confuse the sheeple.

Embryonic stem cell research is not science. It’s a means to promote abortion and make it acceptable to the public by promising to cure them of their ills.

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

~~~

He sure is ... appointed by dear Pres. Reagan.

“The language of the statute reflects the unambiguous intent of Congress to enact a broad prohibition of funding research in which a human embryo is destroyed,” Lamberth wrote in the decision.

“This prohibition encompasses all “research in which an embryo is destroyed, not just the ‘piece of research’ in which the embryo is destroyed.”

The ruling also broadly concludes that the research, also known as ESC, depends on the destruction of a human embryo, and that research derived from embryonic stem cells is also subject to regulation under the Wicker Amendment.

“[Embryonic stem cell] research is clearly research in which an embryo is destroyed,” the ruling said. “Thus, ESC research necessarily depends upon the destruction of a human embryo. Despite defendants’ attempts to separate the derivation of ESCs from research on the ESCs, the two cannot be separated.”

obama made a deal with a democrat not to fund abortion with tax dollars for the health care reform vote. It was an executive order

Quote from the ruling (in the WSJ):

"The language of the statute reflects the unambiguous intent of Congress," Judge Lamberth wrote in a 15-page ruling.

HOLY CRAP. A JUDGE WHO RULES ON THE LAW, AND NOT ON PERSONAL PREFERENCE.Bio from a speakers' agency: he is a Reagan-appointed judge...

Moonbats on the Boston Herald web-site are bashing the judge as a Right Wing Christian and no better than the Taliban.

This was the same judge that through a monkey wrench into military affirmative action in promotions! I am delighted to know he is still around.
