Obama's science czar advocated compulsory abortions

Since November, we've been apologizing to the United States for allowing Barack Obama outside Illinois borders. Now, it appears that apology should be extended to all mankind. His science czar has written about the need to contain the population explosion with mandated abortions and other inhumane ideologies. There's a growing concern about Obama's czars, the fact they're appointed and are not responsible to Congress, but only the President. Science czar John Holden makes Bill Ayers appear compassionate.

He was here to do what he did last year to protect the ash that shades our bedroom from the dreaded Emerald Ash Borer.

Giving science preference over "ideology"?

by Bill Beckman

The claim has been made that science should be given preference over "ideology."  President Obama used this logic to justify Federal funding of embryonic stem cell research.  He said that his administration would make "scientific decisions based on facts, not ideology."

What is ideology?  One definition of ideology is "a set of aims and ideas, especially in politics."  In fact, Obama rejected the ideology of those who respect human life from the moment of fertilization and adopted the ideology of those who consider human embryos expendable for medical research and treatment of disease.
