Nancy Goldstein agrees with the Pope (sort of)! Spain's abortion laws may increase craigslist.org searches for rental property in the country, opposing embryonic stem cell research = opposing fertility clinics?

Last week, President Obama lifted Bush's federal funding ban on stem cell research, and a majority of American voters rightly support the decision.
. . . . .
RNC chair says abortion is an "individual choice;" Dr. Margaret Hamburg, abstinence-only opponent, nominee for head of FDA; new female condom approved by FDA; support for excommunicated Brazilian doctor who performed abortion; "egg-as-person" bills target stem cells, not just abortion.
. . . . .
Now that Obama has reversed Bush's executive order, scientists will be allowed to study stem cells from any lineage, including newly created lines, without jeopardizing their federal funding. But where will these new lines of stem cells come from?
. . . . .
Rather than elevating science above all when rescinding the stem cell funding ban, Obama was clear that using stem cells from existing embryos that are slated to be destroyed is consistent with respect for human life.
. . . . .
There has always been hypocrisy in the stem cell debate.
. . . . .
Obama lifts ban on federal funding of embryonic stem cell research, but not on funding of creation of human embryos; Kansas Republicans keep mum on Sebelius; Ross Douthat admits that birth control is "all you have left;" drawing lines in the sand on IVF.
. . . . .
Global gag rule, conscience rule, ban on stem cell funding on the chopping block in new administration's first days; PEPFAR: good on access to treatment, failure on prevention; George W. Bush the "most pro-life President ever"?
