A life is a life is a life.

Barack Obama reversed the U.S. stem cell policy Monday. This is just another “change” in the wrong direction. In under two months, Obama has managed to use his power to take money from my wallet and the wallet of every taxpaying American to help end the lives of living human beings.

For being pro-choice, he seems to be just the opposite. If someone asked me if I’d give them $5 to help pay for their abortion I would choose not to. If a genetics lab asked me to help pay for research which involved taking the life of a human being I’d choose to say no. Apparently Obama is neither pro-life nor pro-choice, just pro-death.

To those who argue it’s all in the name of scientific advancement, and has the potential to cure diseases…so what? How much societal benefit does it take to justify an unethical act? Hitler’s use of Jews for scientific experiments also led to advances, but I doubt anyone would find that these ends justify the means.
