Towards the end of April, Hilary Clinton made claims about botched abortions in Brazil (i.e. she claimed to have visited hospitals where "half" the women were "fighting for their lives against botched abortions"). When called to account for her comments, there was a failure to produce any evidence. Still she has yet to retract this statement.
On Wednesday, Nancy Pelosi claimed that Nancy Regan's support of embryonic stem cell research "has made a significant difference in the lives of many American people. It has saved lives. It has found cures." But the truth is that embryonic stem cell research - unlike adult stem cell research - "has not helped a single human being", it "has produced no cures or treatments, has led to the destruction of countless vulnerable human embryos". In other words, it has killed many human beings.
Concerned Americans should call on Pelosi to substantiate her claim with evidence. When she is unable to do so, she should be forced to publicly retract it, as should Clinton. It's time that those in power were held accountable for their false statements.
We should also remember that it is one thing to be simply in error and another thing entirely to deliberately lie. As Scripture says concerning heaven: "During the day its gates will never be shut, and there will be no night there. The treasure and wealth of the nations will be brought there, but nothing unclean will enter it, nor anyone who does abominable things or tells lies. Only those will enter whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life." (Rv. 21:25-27) Let's hope both women were merely mistaken. If so, they should be willing to repudiate their errors.
