Liberal media persecuting Christian researchers!

[Brother Temperance]

Well, the liberal-bias MSM are up to their old tricks again, trying to pretend there's something abnormal about decent Christians just doing their jobs.

An evangelical Christian charity leading opposition to new laws on embryo research is funding interns in MPs' offices, an investigation by The Independent on Sunday has discovered.
Christian Action, Research and Education (Care) faces inquiries into its lobbying activities by the Charity Commission and the House of Commons standards watchdog after accessing Parliament at the highest levels.
Twelve research assistants sponsored by Care are Commons pass-holders, allowing them unrestricted access to Westminster in the run-up to highly sensitive and potentially close votes on the Human Fertilisation and Embryology (HFE) Bill next month. At least two MPs face questions after they omitted to declare they have Care-sponsored staff.
Charities are allowed to carry out political campaigning, but Charity Commission rules state they "must not give support or funding to a political party, or to a candidate or politician".
Last week, after pressure from the Roman Catholic Church, Gordon Brown allowed a free vote on the most contentious parts of the Bill, including the creation of "admixed" human and animal embryos for scientific research, "saviour" siblings and changing the rules on the need for a father in cases of IVF treatment. An amendment calling for a reduction in the abortion time limit is also expected.
Many undecided MPs have said they will "vote with their postbag" on the key issues.
Care, which has no connection with other charities sharing similar names, has masterminded opposition to the Bill within the Palace of Westminster, writing to MPs and holding meetings. The extent to which the charity, which has links to the powerful Christian right in America, has created a presence inside Parliament raised fresh fears last night over political lobbying. Commons standards watchdogs have previously raised concern about access to Parliament enjoyed by lobby groups.
According to the MPs' register of interests, at least eight Care interns have been employed in the Commons since September, including in the offices of senior party managers whose roles will be influential at voting time. They include Conservative chairman Caroline Spelman, Tory assistant chief whip Alistair Burt and Liberal Democrat chief whip Paul Burstow.
Care interns also work for shadow justice minister David Burrowes, Lib Dem environment spokesman Steve Webb, Tory backbenchers Gary Streeter and Stephen Crabb and Labour backbencher Andy Reed. Care's annual report claims there are up to 12 interns at Westminster – potentially meaning another four MPs have not declared their staff.
Care's website carries a link to a polemical four-minute video by Passion for Life, which warns: "During 2008 the Government is pushing for a law which will have some devastating effects on the value of human life."
Care campaigned against the repeal of Section 28, which banned the "promotion" of homosexuality in schools, and helped defeat laws on assisted dying in the House of Lords last year. Its work has been condemned in the Lords as "propaganda". Some MPs, for example, want lower limits for abortion in the light of scientific developments, but favour extending embryo research.
The scientific community says the legislation is essential to help treat Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and motor neurone disease.

Various religious figures have sought to influence MPs as the legislation makes its way through the House of Commons. But yesterday the most senior Catholic scientist in Britain attacked the church's position. Sir Leszek Borysiewicz, chief executive of the Medical Research Council, told The Times that there was nothing in the legislation that was incompatible with his Catholic faith.
Jewish leaders supported his view. Baroness Julia Neuberger, who was on the scrutiny committee for the Bill, told the Jewish Chronicle: "As Jews, we have a different view on when life begins to the Catholic view. We don't think of life beginning at the moment of conception."

See, in the twisted, upside-down world of the liberal media, if someone doesn't want to kill babies and create human-animal hybrids, that makes them evil, and welfare negroes sitting around being unemployed are good but Christians having jobs are bad. This is quite literally justice turned on its head. And what does some Polackistani who thinks he's a scientist or some angry Joo wanting to kill Christian fetuses to make motzah have to do with anything? Sheer madness, that's what. Jesus does not approve of this persecution, and neither do I.

Re: Liberal media persecuting Christian researchers!

This seems to be a case of The Lord using strange tools to do His business. Whilst I cannot disagree with a word of your conclusion. I am disturbed by the attitude of CARE to Slavery - unless my reading is wrong, they seem opposed to it - most strange for an allegedly Christian society.

Nevertheless, what could be the motivation of the media? What is the story? What if a few MPs decide to take a Christian and moral look at the question of murder of the defenceless and the creation of half-human beasts? (Have you ever seen the film, "The Island of Dr. Moreau"?) Is Care's position not reasonable? Are the Christian MPs to be silenced and deprived of research assistants? - The Lord knows that many MPs are up to their necks in graft and corruption - surely satan is not to have his own way all the time?
