Although the exact wording of the order has not been revealed, the White House plans an 11 a.m. ceremony to sign the order repealing one of the most controversial steps taken by his predecessor, fulfilling one of Obama’s eagerly anticipated campaign promises.
Hooray for science!
But now babies will die! Babies! The miracle of life unless some poor mother in the urban ghetto is giving birth to it!
Does this mean I can’t claim the 3700 embryos in my freezer as dependents?
An additional perk is that after 8 years of the previous administration issuing PR’s on Friday afternoon in the hope nobody would notice whatever fresh new hell had just been unleashed, now we get to start off our weekend with good news.
More, please.
SAVE TEH CELLS!!!!!!!
In all seriousness, as a child, I saw my grandfather waste away from Alzheimer’s a bit at a time and the pain it caused my family. ANYTHING that can combat this is worth it.
“ANYTHING that can combat this is worth it.”
Especially since the stem cells will be collected from embryos that would just be destroyed instead.
Reality-based adults are back in charge. Amen.
