On Friday, U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi dismissed critics of federal funding of life-killing embryonic stem-cell research with this argument:
“We’ve had a situation where it’s faith or science — take your pick,” Pelosi said about how the administration of George W. Bush allegedly dealt with the funding issue and other hot-button issues that involve making moral choices about scientific... READ MORE

Yesterday, President Barack Obama justified his recent authorization of funding for human life-destroying embryonic stem-cell research with the following argument:

As this video demonstrates, the former president is stunningly ignorant about the life-destroying realities of embryonic stem-cell research.
Go here for a superb dissection of Clinton’s confusion, posted by Register correspondent Steven D. Greydanus at JimmyAkin.org.
How could Clinton be so obtuse on this subject, you ask? As Greydanus writes, “This is a Rhodes scholar and a two-term... READ MORE

That’s how pro-life Congressman Chris Smith, R.-N.J., titled a March 6 press release about two of President Barack Obama’s most recent anti-life actions.
And it’s a well-deserved description of the president, who has already moved in a number of areas to accommodate the abortion lobby since assuming office in late January.
