More on Stem-Cells

For all the weird looks or patronizing sentiments I get for continuing to take a stand on "life" issues, the Wall St. journal has an article that agrees with me.

Yesterday President Barack Obama issued an executive order that authorizes
expanded federal funding for research using stem cells produced by destroying
human embryos. The announcement was classic Obama: advancing radical policies while seeming calm and moderate, and preaching the gospel of civility while accusing those who disagree with the policies of being "divisive" and even
"politicizing science."....

Second and more fundamentally, the claim about taking politics out of science is in the deepest sense antidemocratic. The question of whether to destroy human embryos for research purposes is not fundamentally a scientific question; it is a moral and civic question about the proper uses, ambitions and limits of science. It is a question about how we will treat members of the human family at the very dawn of life; about our willingness to seek alternative paths to medical progress that
respect human dignity.

Obama bandies about the word "ideology" so much it's as if he doesn't have one. He does. It's called liberalism. And it's his dominating worldview. My predominant worldview is called Christianity. It isn't conservatism, or libertarianism. It's the Christian worldview. And if Obama claims that he is a Christian, then he is bound by the biblical worldview as well. We all have ideologies, and we need to use the reason of those ideologies to determine truth in moral reasoning. Obama should stop chastising me for claiming truth. But because he does so, he's no political moderate (but I actually am).
