Crow, a singer who grew up in the Missouri Bootheel, appeared in a commercial last year in support of Missouri's Amendment 2, which protects embryonic stem cell research in the state. Burke campaigned against the measure, which passed.
The Roman Catholic Church believes embryonic stem cell research is akin to abortion.
In last week's news conference, Burke described Crow's planned appearance as "an affront to the identity and mission of the medical center, dedicated as it is to the service of life and Christ's healing mission."

Burke also called Crow "a well-known abortion activist."

This is absolutely disgusting. I’ve lost anything resembling the last shred of respect I might have had for Bob Costas.
