this is not a new policy, in fact, it’s been in place at least a year –
Fact Sheet: Valuing Life Through Embryo Adoption and Ethical Stem Cell Research [white house, 2005.05.24]Taxpayer Money Should Not Promote Research That Destroys Life.
even better, there’s evidence to support this interpretation of this quote from defensetech.org.
