Barack Obama Would Reverse President Bush's Stem Cell Research Policy

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Voters can count on a President Barack Obama to expand abortions more than ever before with taxpayer funding, pro-abortion judges and overturning state pro-life laws. But they can also count on him to reverse President Bush's protections on embryonic stem cell research. While Bush has made sure taxpayers aren't forced to pay for the grisly research, an Obama representative says he will force them to fund the destruction of human life. Melody Barnes, the senior domestic policy adviser to the Obama campaign, told NPR that Bush has been the overseer of a so-called "war on science" because he won't fund research that has never helped a single patient. Barnes says Obama would immediately reverse Bush's policy of not funding new embryonic stem cell research after taking office should he become president. "[Obama] believes that upon being elected president of the United States, he could sign an executive order that would overturn the Bush position on stem-cell research and open up the avenues considerably," she told NPR. While John McCain has opposed the pro-life movement on embryonic stem cell research, as LifeNews.com noted yesterday, he is moving in the pro-life direction and agrees with pro-life advocates on issues like human cloning and the purposeful creation of human embryos for destruction.

Pro-Life Advocate Responds to Obama Camp's Gripes About Abortion Flack

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Yesterday, the Obama campaign released the latest response to criticism from pro-life advocates about Obama's repeated votes against a bill that would have protected unborn children who survive abortions. The enmity has been targeted at National Right to Life, which says Obama is still ducking the real issue. As LifeNews.com reported, the Obama campaign called criticism of Obama's votes against the Born Alive Infants Protection Act "offensive and insulting." It repeated the same disproved arguments Obama has given about why he voted against giving adequate medical care to prematurely born newborns or babies who survive abortions. But Douglas Johnson, the legislative director for National Right to Life, tells LifeNews.com that the Obama campaign is hoping to cover up the extremist position Obama took. "Senator Obama's manufactured indignation and continued misrepresentations of Illinois legislation have one common goal," he said. Obama and his campaign hope to "obscure the reality that he opposed recognizing, as legally protected persons, babies who were born alive during abortions, during the fourth and fifth months of development." "Because these babies were not yet 'viable' -- that is, capable of long-term survival -- Obama regarded them as non-persons under Roe v. Wade," Johnson explained.

Barack Obama History & Civil Business Politics

It seems Barack Obama's citizenship is in question, which throws a wrench in the works. Where exactly was he born? Hawai'I, and at the time of his birth, there was a question of the legality of U.S. "occupation" and whether or not Hawai'I is actually a state. Apparently, this will be decided by some court or other. I also didn't realize that John McCain was born in Panama on a military base.

And Barack Obama, whose mother was a U.S. citizen, even if Hawaii was not a U.S. state.

It has been pointed out ... that prior to 1986, someone born abroad was a U.S. citizen only if both parents were U.S. citizens at the time of the child's birth. Since Obama's father was not a U.S. citizen (he was Kenyan), he actually cannot claim citizenship by jus sanguinis, only by jus soli with Hawaii considered a state. Again, I still don't think this will have any actual effect on his eligibility, since the U.S. considers Hawaii a state, but in fact if you follow the legal argument that Hawaii is an occupied country and the U.S. has never legally acquired Hawaii, the logical consequence is that Obama is not a natural-born citizen by either place or parentage, and is not actually eligible for the presidency.

It is an interesting argument. Though I doubt anything will ever come of it, we should be so lucky. I wonder what would happen if they did decide he was no longer eligible? Would the Democratic candidate become a write-in? Perhaps Hillary?

It may very well be Hillary, because she had the second most delegates. What a disaster that would be! I honestly doubt any of this will make it to mainstream media, unless it goes to court and the decision is less than favorable. I guess it would come down to who has more influence over the court - the candidate, the "almost" candidate, or the law?

I think that many people are not happy with the nomination of MR Obama. I think as a outsider looking in at the Democrats that they maybe are going to lose the majority now.

Some are under the assumption that Mr. Obama is fighting big oil, but assumptions are sometimes wrong. He is actually receiving more campaign funds from some "big oil" companies and their employees then Senator Mccain.

I guess to Barrack, standing up to big oil involves standing up and accepting a check.
