Dickey-Wicker Ammendment

If President Obama's pen is not dripping enough blood, he probably is just sharpening it. The Dickey amendment prevents the destruction of embryos with Federal money. The Obama directive allows all stem-cell lines created to qualify for Federal funding after their creation. But, because the Dickey amendment was a stop gate, he could do no more. What does this mean? It means he must go after and remove the Dickey-Wicker amendment. This amendment is attached to appropriation bills for the Dept of Health and Human Services, and prohibits the use of Federal funds to support scientific work that involves the destruction of human embryos.

Watch and Beware. He's just starting. Watch your Congressman.
