Obama - the embryo-destructive president? President-elect Barack Obama is already signaling that he is unwilling to moderate his controversial views regarding the destruction of unborn children. Barack Obama's transition chief John Podesta says the president-elect is likely to use an executive order to lift President Bush's restrictions on federal funding of embryonic stem-cell research. Obama, like Arizona Senator John McCain, believes such research will lead to cures for diseases like Alzheimer's. Daniel McConchie, vice president of Americans United for Life (AUL), believes Obama's potential move to expand embryo-destructive research is consistent with his pro-abortion stance. "Unfortunately, what this will do is actually make the American taxpayers party to the destruction of human embryos for research that has not been shown to have any benefit to any human patients, as well being unethical in and of its own right," he contends. Obama, according to McConchie, has already alienated the pro-life community by promising Planned Parenthood that he would enact the Freedom of Choice Act, which would eliminate all state and federal restrictions on abortion.
