This is ridiculous.
Supposedly, the Bush administration “forced a false choice on the country between science and faith.”
Apparently, the Board believes that Obama, a self-proclaimed “person of faith,” is not forcing a false choice. Why should Obama’s belief on the morality of destroying human life for research be considered divine revelation?
Obama’s faith-filled decision is being forced on the country just as surely as Bush’s was. What’s the difference?
It’s wrong to say that President Bush didn’t allow science to proceed. He fully supported pursuing stem cell research and dramatic progress in the field was made during his administration.
What the Board and others fail to note is that there were no government restrictions on any sort of stem cell research. This has always been about the amount of FEDERAL FUNDING for embryonic stem cell research. There was no ban on the research. The private sector has always been free to fund it.
Talk about falsehoods!
Science doesn’t need government to proceed.
