Wisconsin Right to Life sells out

The world may be coming to an end soon. I never thought I'd see the day that Wisconsin Right to Life would compromise the deeply held beliefs of the members of their group in order to prop up any candidate.

How does this:

Susan Armacost, chief lobbyist for the group, said her organization likes Green's proposal.

"We share a goal of wanting ethical, successful research," Armacost said. "It sounds like (Green) would like to take the research community in a new, more ethical direction."

Jibe with this (bolding mine):

Report that Embryonic Stem Cells Obtained Without Destruction of the Embryos Proven False

“The public needs to wake up to the fact that just about anything said by the promoters of human embryonic stem cell research has to be viewed with skepticism,” stated Barbara Lyons, Executive Director of Wisconsin Right to Life. “From Governor Jim Doyle to the research community, hype and even inaccuracy are the operating communication mode. Anything to keep the public believing that we need to continue to kill human embryos, or say we are not killing them when we are.”

Wisconsin Right to Life was the lone voice in our state and one of the few in the nation that publicly cried “foul” when a research company in California claimed it had retrieved embryonic stem cells without destroying the embryo. It is now reported that all 16 human embryos in the experiment were destroyed as the researchers took them apart cell by cell.

“Amazingly, some researchers are claiming in the wake of this untruthful revelation that if we could just use tax dollars for this unethical research – well, problem solved,” continued Lyons. “How about just discontinuing the unethical research and using adult stem cells which are daily providing real treatments for real people?”

So why does she like Green's proposal to use tax dollars for this "unethical research"? Makes you wonder what Green promised her in order to get Wisconsin Right to Life to say nice things about his proposal doesn't it?
