I believe truth always wins in the end. However we never know when “the end” will be. “The end” comes sooner on some issues, later on others, and really later on still others. I often find myself sounding like my children on past car trips saying, "Are we there yet?"

Pro-lifers are working hard to get the truth about abortion to this culture and are making headway, but we are not “there” yet. We are, however, getting farther down the road with embryonic stem cell research.

For the past 20 years some medical researchers have thought the cure for many deadly afflictions would be found in embryonic stem cells. Pro-lifers decry embryonic stem research because it requires the death of the smallest of humans, embryos, in order to retrieve the stem cells embodied within. This research has been argued about in the public square for years. Remember President George W. Bush’s much-publicized decision that federal funds could be used only for the 70 lines of embryos that had already been destroyed, but no others?

Since that time, many states have tried, some successfully, to use state monies to fund embryonic stem cell research. Researchers want tax money to do embryonic research because it is so unproductive that little private money is invested. So far, not one single human cure has been found.
