Obama Bans Embryonic Stem Cell Research Two Days After Signing Executive Order To Allow It
Yes, you read that correctly. Terrence P. Jeffrey via CNSNews.com...
The provision was buried in the 465-page omnibus appropriations bill that Obama signed Wednesday. Known as the Dickey-Wicker amendment, it has been included in the annual appropriations bill for the Department of Health and Human Services every fiscal year since 1996.
The amendment says, in part: "None of the funds made available in this Act may be used for—(1) the creation of a human embryo or embryos for research purposes; or (2) research in which a human embryo or embryos are destroyed, discarded, or knowingly subjected to risk of injury or death."
Change indeed. Barry-O is getting a taste of his own medicine. He promised us transparency, but tossed it under the bus when it didn't serve his agenda. If he would've posted the bill on the internet five days before signing it as he said he would, perhaps he wouldn't have reversed himself.
I'm looking forward to seeing the look on his face when has to re-unban embryonic stem cell research.
