President Obama to Sign Executive Order on Stem Cell Research Monday

March 06, 2009 3:44 PM

ABC News has learned that on Monday morning President Obama will hold an event at the White House in which he signs an executive order overturning the ban on federal funding of embryonic stem cell research.

The announcement will be about "restoring scientific integrity to health care policy," an administration official tells ABC News.

In August 2001, President George W. Bush signed an executive order banning federal funding on embryonic stem cell research except for a few dozen lines that were grandfathered in. The White House at the time estimated scientists would have more than 60 cell lines to use, but ultimately fewer than two dozen lines were usable.

Twice during his presidency, Mr. Bush vetoed efforts to overturn his ban.

We knew this was coming, but it's still so hard to take. God deliver us.

I will not be satisfied until embryonic stem cells are injected into the brains of every Leftwingtard in the country.

"restoring scientific integrity to health care policy," an administration official tells ABC News.

Re-read that statement slowly...right out of the Orwellian 'Newspeak' propaganda.

If I heard correct, Sen. Hatch (Utah, GOP) thinks this is the best thing since sliced bread.

Oh, so that’s what they’re calling it.

It’s still Pure Evil.

YES! What about the HEALTH and integrity of the dead baby? What about the integrity of respecting the miracle of life? There is no integrity in snatching the embryos out of women and using them for sick “science” experiments.

Guess I need to pray the Rosary some more, God Help us.

Zero is going to overturn EVERYTHING we fought so hard for under Bush. Gone just like that, one stroke of his stupid socailist pen.

Presidents should NOT have this kind of power.

Soon my FRiends, there will be a reconking.

I guess Il Douche wants to make some use of those potential ‘mistakes’ his daughters might make. < s/o > .

This is all about bringing profitability to the abortion industry.

All ZerO seems to know how to do is tear things apart - have parties & fly around the country campaigning. He never even served as a senator - just starting campaigning for president.

How many executive orders does this one make?

It would be lovely to see him do something constructive for a change - but I think that's above his pay grade!

It won't be very long before everyone realizes that he really does NOT know how to be a president. He's just a lowly community organizer who got lucky.

See, I struggle with this issue and your responses. My mother has multiple sclerosis and this research holds a lot of hope for people like her.

What is the right thing here?

You are right to be concerned about your mother. However, no person has the right to terminate another innocent person's existence just to extend his own life or relieve his own suffering, especially when there are alternatives. Most of the successful applications of stem cells have used adult stem cells, not embryonic stem cells.

The mania for using embryonic stem cells is not based on science, but on a contempt for human life and a desire to benefit the strong at the expense of the weak and helpless--an attitude which I frankly consider to be of Satanic inspiration, just like abortion.

“Presidents should NOT have this kind of power.”

I FULLY agree. He should NOT have the power subvert the will of the people of this CHRISTIAN nation with a flick of his cheap Bic pen. He is not a president interested in doing God’s will - but now he’s arrogantly signing away the will of the people as well.

I have Leukemia. The very idea of killing a human embryo, mixing up a witches brew and injecting me with it so I may be cured is beyond reprehensible.

Sorry, but this is the stuff of Nazi Doctors, not compassionate Americans. Besides, there is absolutely no proof that doing this "research" will cure anything. Adult Stem Cells are making wonderful advances. Embryonic Stem Cell Research is nothing more than funding overpaid "scientists" with wasted tax dollars.
