Obama Admin will appeal ruling against forcing embryonic stem cell funding

LifeNews: “The Obama administration announced today that it will appeal a federal judge’s decision striking down President Barack Obama’s executive order forcing taxpayers to fund embryonic stem cell research. The judge said the order contravened a federal law against funding the destruction of human embryos . . . Thomas G. Hungar, one of the lawyers for the plaintiffs, which includes the Alliance Defense Fund and the Christian Medical Association, said in 2009 when the lawsuit was filed, ‘the language of the [Dickey-Wicker] statute is clear’ that it ‘bans public funding for any research that leads to the destruction of human embryos.’”
