Judge halts embryonic stem cell research federal funding

Tom Strode reports at Baptist Press: “[Steven Aden], senior legal counsel for the Alliance Defense Fund, said in a written release, ‘The American people should not be forced to pay for experiments — prohibited by federal law — that destroy human life. The court is simply enforcing an existing law passed by Congress that prevents Americans from paying another penny for needless research on human embryos. No one should be allowed to decide that an innocent life is worthless.’”
