Ping!
And ping any prolife groups who might be interested in this. It was in the news in the 2008 cycle but was downplayed by the MSM which had a vested interest in promoting Huckabee to prevent a conservative alternative from arising.
Thanks Brice!
This is what I need, ammo. (although they still defend him, saying all these charges are all lies)
Huckabee is a nanny-statist of the 1st order.
We don’t want him running for President anyway.
Ping to you, OB1kNOb.
Please come see this Huckabee information, compiled by Brices Crossroads.
Isn’t he the guy DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE for the deaths of 4 or 5 policemen near Seattle, due to is inability to understand that some people are bad and shouldn’t have their sentences commuted because they claim to have “found God”.
did he deposit the money in the Cayman islands??????????????
He’s one of the many people that I’d like to see just “go away.” Worthless and time consuming . . . Hitlery, her sexual predator “husband,” the idiot living in our White House, preachy Hollyweird stars, Michael Moore, etc.
Good catch. This will be a silver bullet as far as many in HIS tribe are concerned, when it gets sufficient exposure.
He apparently has an ethical problem when dealing with money. There are numerous examples of this.
You really are going to try to tear down Mike Huckabee as being insufficiently pro-life? Because he consulted with a megacorporation, and was paid by the corporation, and later found out the company also did embryonic research?
This isn’t the same as owning STOCK in the company, which is an investment IN a company. And it’s even weaker than attacking someone for BUYING something from a company, finding out that company gives money to charities like planned parenthood, and throwing out what you bought from them.
If he took their money to advocate the results of research from the ESC, that would be germaine.
But this is just silly.
On a more practical note, if the key for Palin is to get the Huckabee voters, making them hate you by attacking his core beliefs this way is going to do the opposite of what you want.
Palin needs to win over voters, not have her “supporters” chase them all away.
Huckabee’s a hypocrite on many levels. He wants to attract the evangelicals by saying that he’s a Baptist minister. Whatever questions the committee threw at him at his ordination, it’s probable that either: (1) he answered untruthfully then, or (2) he has changed his core beliefs since then.
A SBC minister’s ordination can be revoked because of gross sin or gross doctrine. Being soft on abortion should fall under “gross doctrine” violation. Whatever church sponsored him in ordination should consider revoking it.
Charletans pandering to the Christian community just to rake in the votes is smarmy and disingenuous.
I’m curious why the quotes about Novo Nordisk refer to “human” stem-cell research, while the quotes about Huckabee’s pro-life convictions refer to “embryonic” stem cell research. Did Novo Nordisk research embryonic stem cells or not? Is the article merely poorly written, or are they playing 3-card monty with readers’ ignorance about the difference between “human” stem-cell research and “embryonic” or “fetal” stem-cell research?
(Stem cells are undifferentiated cells. As a human ages from embryo to fetus to child to adult, more and more categories of cells differentiate. However, there are a few places where adults do have undifferentiated cells. These cells can be collected from adults, rather than from aborted fetuses and discarded embryos, and therefore the harvesting of such cells is completely moral.)

Novo Nordisk has finding a cure for diabetes as part of its vision and human stem cell research with the potential for cell transplantation, is presently the most promising approach to achieve this goal for Type 1 diabetes.The moral problem with using stem cells derived from IVF (in-virto fertilization) is that it creates a market for discarded IVF embryos, thus greatly lowering the cost of IVF, in turn making IVF more common. IVF is a barbaric procedure which kills several babies for every one baby brought to term; most supporters and even many patients of IVF are unaware of the incredible Nazistic destruction of human life associated with it.Novo Nordisk has extended its research on mouse embryonic stem cells to include human embryonic stem cells, in order to be able to move forward in our efforts to direct human embryonic stem cells into mature insulin-producing beta cells, which can be further developed for transplantation.
Novo Nordisk will only use human embryonic stem cells when it is not anticipated that the same scientific results can be obtained by the use of adult stem cells.
Novo Nordisk will only work with human embryonic stem cells derived from spare embryos from IVF treatment that are obtained with freely given informed consent.
Novo Nordisk does not support IVF-treatment of women, or the creation of human embryos, solely for research purposes.
Novo Nordisk does not see any need for therapeutic cloning in the foreseeable future, as alternative methods of creating patient specific stem cells such as induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS) are available.
Novo Nordisk finds cloning of human beings (reproductive cloning) unethical and supports initiatives aimed at a global ban.
Novo Nordisk supports the position that human embryonic and adult stem cells, as such, can not be patented. However, the research-based protocols used to develop stem cells into therapeutic cells as well as the mature cells and tissues developed by these specific protocols should be patentable.
Novo Nordisk supports a legislative framework around the use of human embryonic stem cells that adequately protects the human embryo and at the same time secures that the knowledge obtained can be used to help patients with serious diseases such as diabetes.
