A moral decree from the vatican’t
“The Vatican issued the most authoritative and sweeping document on bioethical issues in 20 years on Friday, taking into account recent developments in biomedical technology and reinforcing the church’s opposition to in vitro fertilization, human cloning, genetic testing on embryos before implantation and embryonic stem cell research,” report Povoledo and Goodstein of the NY Times.
In case you need yet another organisation to give you moral advice and dictate your personal life decisions (as if mom and dad weren’t enough), read about the Vatican’s decree after the break!

McCain supporters spotted in NYC
It is hard to find them around here, they seem to be lurking or hide and mimic among the liberals. My friend Amin Torres is an awesome photographer and was able to snatch the gem above in front of The New York Times building for the Gothamist while leaving work.

No birth control here, but may I interest you in a vitamin?
7 is the number of pharmacies in the country that now refuse to sell any forms of contraception to their customers. When you think about it, seven really isn’t that big of a number, but it is seven too many pharmacists that are not filling contraception prescriptions because of their faith.
Yet another pharmacy, this one in Chantilly, VA, is refusing to honor doctors’ prescriptions for birth control and the morning after pill. No candy and no soda is sold either! Yes, Divine Mercy Care Pharmacy has a right to decide which products to sell, but that does not excuse the fact that these pharmacists are refusing to do their job!

Life under censorship
While ABC refuses to run a clean energy ad, newspapers across the country have distributed 28 million copies of a fear-mongering DVD about radical Islam, mostly to battleground states, in a multimillion effort to affect public opinion funded by “individuals he would not name” according to their spokesman.
Censorship, both explicit and implicit, always works to maintain the status quo and prevent change.
