Lawsuit moves MI Gov. Granholm to remove embryonic stem cell petition from website

The Associated Press reported August 9 that the Thomas More Law Center in Ann Arbor is suing MI Democrat Gov. Jennifer Granholm for discrimination:

Granholm, who wants to lift Michigan's restrictions on embryonic stem cell research, has a link on her state [taxpayer funded] Web site that encourages citizens to sign a petition asking the state Legislature to pass bills that would lift restrictions on such research.

The law center says Granholm refused requests from its clients to place their own petition on the Web site opposing embryonic stem cell research....

Granholm spokeswoman Liz Boyd said the lawsuit is being reviewed.

"Under no circumstances will the governor abandon her fight to lift the restrictions on stem cell research in Michigan," Boyd said.

Apparently Granholm's people did a quick review, and apparently the governor is abandoning this part of her fight.

A check today showed the link Granholm previously promoted, www.michigan.gov/stemcell, is gone.

So is her taxpayer funded webpage promoting the petition.

But sorry, Guv, it's cached. (Click to enlarge.)

Granholm is a pro-abort Catholic who is so bad on the life issue she vetoed a partial-birth abortion ban in 2003, although her veto was promptly overruled by a citizen petition drive.

Granholm doesn't have much luck with citizen petitions.

In this case, Granholm must not really want to know whether the majority of MI citizens support taxpayer funded human embryo experimentation.
