Obama to reverse limits on stem cell research
Well here we are again! On Monday President Barack Obama will publically unveil his newest executive order aimed at the unborn. This newest order will lift a ban on federal funding of embryonic stem cell research that has been in place for nearly eight years. The ban was originally put in place by President Bush in August of 2001 during his first term in office siting the procedures destruction of human life. Millions of dollars were instead placed behind research involving adult stem cell research. This approach has produced countless advances in medical research but has gone relatively unheralded by politicians, scientists, and news agencies around the country. An unnamed Obama official has been quoted as saying that the new Obama policy toward embryonic stem cell research will "restore scientific integrity to the process".
Integrity indeed! These are dangerous times we are living in. God is merciful and patient and He loves us all. Like any good Father God will not let His children continue to revel in sin and disobedience with being set straight. I call on all of you to make a stand for our innocent brothers and sisters who have been robbed of the dignity of being conceived naturally to loving married parents. They have been treated as a right or as a science experiment. Now they are being treated as something less than human. Something to be discarded for society's selfish needs. I agree that we should do anything to help find cures for disease, but not at the expense of human life. Don't sit on the fence and watch this public abomination rule the day. Don't sit on the fence of indifference and passively watch the world go by. God will one day reach down with His divine hand and shake the fence. Don't get caught sitting on it. Speak up! Pray, Pray, Pray! The innocent blood of millions cries out to heaven for justice. Pray that God will touch the hearts of all those who condone this horrible crime. Pray also that the Holy Spirit will inspire the hearts of us all to speak the truth and take a stand for good, not evil. All that evil needs to exist is for good men and women to do nothing. AMDG
