Well he called the unborn a “curse”, so this isn’t unexpected.

“WASHINGTON — Pledging that his administration will “make scientific decisions based on facts, not ideology,” President Obama on Monday lifted the Bush administration’s strict limits on human embryonic stem cell research.

At a ceremony in the East Room of the White House, before an audience that included lawmakers, scientists and patients, several of them in wheelchairs, Mr. Obama announced that he was issuing an executive order intended to advance the research. He said he hoped Congress would follow with bipartisan legislation that would ease the existing restrictions even more.

The president acknowledged that studying stem cells extracted from human embryos, which are destroyed in the process, is deeply divisive.

“Many thoughtful and decent people are conflicted about, or strongly oppose, this research,” the president said. “I understand their concerns, and we must respect their point of view.”

But Mr. Obama went on to say that the majority of Americans “have come to a consensus that we should pursue this research; that the potential it offers is great, and with proper guidelines and strict oversight the perils can be avoided.”

In making his announcement, Mr. Obama drew a strict line against human cloning, an issue that over the years has become entangled with the debate over human embryonic stem cell research.

He said that he would ensure that his administration “never opens the door” to cloning for human reproduction, adding, “It is dangerous, profoundly wrong and has no place in our society or any society.”

Mr. Obama paired his executive order with another document, a presidential memorandum directing the head of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy to “develop a strategy for restoring scientific integrity to government decision-making.”

Taken together, the two actions are the latest in a series of rebukes by Mr. Obama to his predecessor, former President George W. Bush.

Many Democrats criticized the Bush administration for politicizing science on a range of issues, from climate change to protecting endangered species to family planning.

Mr. Obama pledged during his campaign to chart a different course.

Already, abortion opponents are bracing for a battle over the stem-cell policy.

“The administration now steps onto a very steep, very slippery slope,” Douglas Johnson, legislative director for the National Right to Life Committee, said in anticipation of Mr. Obama’s action. “Many researchers will never be satisfied only with the so-called leftover embryos.”

One Republican lawmaker, Representative Christopher Smith of New Jersey, called Mr. Obama “the abortion president,” and organized an event Monday afternoon protesting the new policy. He invited some so-called snowflake children, those born after couples who underwent in-vitro fertilization released their remaining embryos for use by other couples, to attend.”

While proponents state that embryonic stem cells will only come from eggs that have been fertilized in a lab via vitro procedures you would have to completely stupid to believe it will stop there. With over 4000 babies aborted every day in America there is quite a harvest that these monsters will have to experiment from.

Since 40 percent of so-called evangelicals supported Obama, I would say that they would need to revisit their faith, unless they are too reprobate to do so. Speaking of the poll cited by the Ny Times, it’s true that Gallup found 60 percent favoring embryonic stem cell research, but…

Over at God and Country a religious political blog at US News, Dan Gilgoff writes:

“Most Americans support embryonic stem cell research. But I was struck that a recent Pew poll on the subject indicated just a bare majority of support, with 51 percent of Americans saying it’s more important to conduct stem cell research that might lead to new cures than to avoid destroying human embryos.

So it’s striking to look at a 2008 poll that Gallup has dusted off that finds moral objections to embryonic stem cell research are relatively slack. It shows that more than 6 in 10 Americans say that the research is moral, while just 3 in 10 say it’s morally wrong. Read the full Gallup report here.

This obviously doesn’t translate into 60-plus percent support for federally funded embryonic stem cell research, but it suggests that Christian conservatives are losing the moral argument against the research.

Over at The Corner you’ll find more about how much of the polling on this is “terrible”. Nevertheless, as Christians – true born again Christians – and not republican or even democrat, those who name the name of Christ must make a stand and do it now. I will say it again with authority that no one who names the name of Christ can support such a position. Stand now, or fade away.

I’ll have more on this later, but it’s time to fight back.
