*President Bush's refusal of [[federal funding]] for new embryonic stem cell lines didn't halt major stem-cell advances, any more than the prohibition against life-threatening research on human subjects, such as the infamous Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male, stopped the advance of medical treatments.

*On March 9, 2007 Barack Obama repealed President Bush's ban on federal funding for embryonic stem cell research. <ref>http://www.onenewsnow.com/Culture/Default.aspx?id=441206</ref>This was a campaign promise and leads to the expectation that he will be one of the most pro-abortion, anti-life presidents in history since many people liken this research to abortion. Simply because many make this assumption does not make it correct, it simply means many Americans are ignorant<ref>http://www. First, nobody is "pro-abortionprochoiceamerica." I could just as easily call conservatives like you "misogynist" or "antiorg/choice-action-center/us-gov/congressional-record-on-choice/illinois." Back to the point, your Bible says life begins when the blood flows. In humans, this is at 14 days. Embryonic stem cell research uses embryos that are 5 days old. Thus, your own Bible supports (or, at least, does not condemn) embryonic stem cell research. Furthermore, all embryos used are donated as extras from IVF. Parents are not paid for the embyros. There is no farming. Simply accept that you've lost this debate because you were never honest ot begin with. Kara Neumann, Christopher Reeve, and many others died because of you and people like you. Thanks to Obama, millions like me have hope for a cure. It almost make me wish their was a hell so that fascists like you could go their to burn. Alas, I have no such luck. At least you've been outcast from intellectual debate. Lunatics like Sarah Palin and Sean Hannity run your party. This is truly the conservatives' "chickens coming home to roost." html</ref>
