And in the face of a new scientific breakthrough, the true roots of her position come to light.

Dr. James Thomson was on the team of research scientists at the University of Wisconsin who recently announced breakthrough gene technology that may end the ethical controversy surrounding human embryo research. 
Thomson’s team as well as separate researchers in Tokyo appears to have created the coveted stem cells found in human embryos through gene technology on skin [...]

DeGette Still Wants a Fight

A Line of Sight previously exposed the hypocrisy of her argument explaining that it really is a pro-abortion fight. If she were to admit that a fertilized embryo is human life, DeGette’s unfettered pro-abortion argument crumbles – [...]
