Obama Still Hates Babies

Obama is at it again, although a little more indirectly this time.  Earlier today, he signed an executive order to lift the ban on government funding for embryonic stem cell research in the United States.  This ban was initiated years ago by President George W. Bush.

Now, I am very much on the side of medical research and finding new cures for diseases and conditions.  I think it's a good thing when diseases get cured and people can improve their quality of life.  There is one little problem I have with the approach they are trying to utilize here, though.  IT DOESN'T WORK!!!

Proponents of embryonic stem cell research claim that the utility of this strategy is yet to be discovered because our government imposed too many restrictions on access to its study.  Now with free reign of all the freshly aborted babies to poke and prod at will, treatments will soon abound for everything from acne to cancer!

What they fail to acknowledge, however, is that research actually has been proceeding unimpeded in this field all around the world for years.  It has even been taking place in America, just void of federal funding.  And can you guess how many cures they have discovered with this novel technique?  Zero.

That's right, with thousands of doctors all around the world receiving overly sufficient funding and support, this research is unable to come up with even a cure for warts!

There is no promise whatsoever for this method to cure anything in the future.  Scientists have been trying for years and are yet to make their first breakthrough with stem cells from aborted babies.  Furthermore, if there actually was any hope of finding a new way to treat and cure diseases with this method, some rich guy would be pouring his fortune into dead baby stem cell research?  I'm sure there's a lot of money and glory to be had for the person who finds a cure for cancer.  But when things don't work, you know what the best fix always is... throw government money at it!

Let's analyze some of the comments (aka. lies and distortions) he used today during his pompous "signing ceremony."  Here are some quotes... 

Medical miracles do not happen simply by accident. They result from painstaking and costly research, from years of lonely trial and error, much of which never bears fruit, and from a government willing to support that work.

So, when he refers to "costly research" here, is he talking about all the babies that must be sacrificed for this research to progress.  The phrase "never bears fruit" could also be used in the same light.  I'm so glad our government is "willing to support" things that don't work.  Here's another...

It is about ensuring that scientific data is never distorted or concealed to serve a political agenda – and that we make scientific decisions based on facts, not ideology.

Since we've looked for evidence of the potential benefits of dead baby stem cell research and are still empty-handed, who exactly is distorting scientific data to "serve a political agenda?"  I believe that would be you, Mr. President.  The "facts" show that adult stem cell research has been the most promising mode in this field to date.  It's just a shame that obtaining adult stem cells doesn't require infanticide since that doesn't serve the president's political agenda.  And just one more...

Promoting science isn't just about providing resources – it's also about protecting free and open inquiry. It's about letting scientists like those who are here today do their jobs, free from manipulation or coercion, and listening to what they tell us, even when it's inconvenient – especially when it's inconvenient.

Alright, I have some inquiry.  Since the president feels that deciding when life begins is "above my pay grade," shouldn't he just play it on the safe side in the meantime and not promote the killing of babies with functioning organs?  And, while he's at it, he could listen to some of the "inconvenient" things we pro-lifers have to say about his actions.

I guess that would all just be too open-minded, though.
