Obama Signs Law Banning Federal Embryo Research Two Days After Signing Executive Order to OK It
(CNSNews.com) - On Wednesday, only two days after he lifted President Bush??s executive order banning federal funding of stem cell research that requires the destruction of human embryos, President Barack Obama signed a law that explicilty bans federal funding of any "research in which a human embryo or embryos are destroyed, discarded, or knowingly subjected to risk of injury or death."
The provision was buried in the 465-page omnibus appropriations bill that Obama signed Wednesday. Known as the Dickey-Wicker amendment, it has been included in the annual appropriations bill for the Department of Health and Human Services every fiscal year since 1996.
The Story
I guess he was for funding research before he was against it.
