		<title>{ISSUES &gt; BIAS AND BALANCE} - Print reports ignore tension between McCain's assertion that human rights begin at conception and support for stem cell research</title>
		<link>http://articles.world-of-newave.info/society/issues/business/media/bias-and-balance/print-reports-ignore-tension-between-mccain-s-assertion-20080881223.htm</link>

		<description>In articles following August 16
appearances by Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. John McCain at a forum at Pastor Rick
Warren's Saddleback Church, numerous print media outlets, including the Associated Press, The New York Times,
The Wall Street Journal,
and three separate articles in The Washington Post, reported
McCain's assertion at the forum that he believes "a baby [is] entitled to human rights" "[a]t the
moment of conception."
But in none of the articles did the reporters raise the question of how McCain
reconciles his position that human rights begin at conception with his support for
federal funding of embryonic stem cell research and support of exemptions for cases of rape or incest in a constitutional amendment to ban abortion.

Nor did they point out
that McCain did not note whether his position that "a baby [is] entitled
to human rights" "[a]t the moment of conception" means that
he would support making illegal in vitro fertilization in which not all embryos are then implanted, intrauterine devices (IUDs), the morning-after pill, or the birth control pill.

By contrast, in an August 17 Time.com article, Nancy Gibbs
wrote of McCain's statement at Saddleback
 Church:


Consider
the obvious implications if rights attain the moment the egg and sperm meet:
all kinds of embryo research become questionable, starting with the stem-cell
research McCain says he favors. Couples who undergo in vitro fertilization and
then choose not to implant all the embryos are surely violating the rights of
those that are discarded or frozen. Some forms of contraception, such as IUDs
and the morning-after pill, would presumably be illegal if they affect the
ability of an egg to implant. Abortion opponents contend that the birth control
pill itself, while designed to prevent ovulation so no egg is fertilized in the
first place, may also have the effect of blocking implantation of any egg that
sneaks through. Suddenly, a whole range of reproductive choices comes into
question.


Similarly, in an August 18 USA Today article, Cathy Lynn
Grossman reported that R. Alta Charo, the
Warren P. Knowles Professor of Law and Bioethics at the University of Wisconsin
at Madison, "said McCain's view on conception was inconsistent with his support of embryonic stem cell
research," and quoted her assertion: "If he believes in human
rights at the moment of conception, then he ought to be against
embryonic stem cell research."

During the August 16
forum, McCain had the following exchange with Warren:


WARREN: Let's deal with abortion. I, as a pastor, have to deal with this
all the time, every different angle, every different pain, all the decisions on
all of that; 40 million abortions since Roe v. Wade. Some people, people who
believe that life begins at conception, would say that's
a holocaust for many people. What point is a baby entitled to human rights?

McCAIN: At the moment of conception. I have a 25-year pro-life record, in the Congress,
in the Senate; and as president of the United States, I will be a pro-life
president and this presidency will have pro-life policies. That's my commitment
-- that's my commitment to you.


Moments later, McCain stated that he has "come down on the side of stem
cell research":


WARREN: Another issue, stem cells. We've had the scientific breakthrough
of creating pluripotent stem cells through adult stem cells. 

McCAIN:
Yes. 

WARREN: So would you favor or oppose the federal funding of embryonic
stem cell research since we had this other breakthrough? 

McCAIN:
For those of us in the pro-life community this has been a great struggle and a
terrible dilemma because we're also taught other obligations that we have as
well. I've come down on the side of stem cell research. But I am wildly
optimistic that skin cell research, which is coming more and more into focus
and practicability, will make this debate an academic one.


Indeed, McCain voted for the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act of
2007, which would "Amend[] the Public
Health Service Act to require the Secretary of Health and Human Services to
conduct and support research that utilizes human embryonic stem cells,
regardless of the date on which the stem cells were derived from a human
embryo." The legislation passed both houses of Congress but was vetoed by President
Bush. 

As Media
Matters for America has noted, on the November 19, 2006, edition of ABC's This Week,
host George Stephanopoulos said to McCain: "You're for a constitutional
amendment banning abortion with some exceptions for life and rape and
incest." McCain replied: "Rape, incest, and the life of the mother,
yes."

The following articles quoted
McCain's statement that human rights begin "at the moment of
conception" without noting his stated support for
embryonic stem-cell research or the right of a woman to obtain an abortion in
cases of rape or incest:

An August 17 New
     York Times article, in which
     Katharine Q. Seelye and John Broder reported: "Mr. Obama skirted a question about when life begins,
     saying that determining such a thing was above his pay grade and sending
     murmurs throughout the audience. Mr. McCain said simply, 'At the
     moment of conception.' "

An
     August 17 Washington Post article, in which
     staff writers Shailagh Murray and Perry Bacon Jr. reported: "In his
     interview with Warren, McCain received loud applause from the crowd of
     more than 2,000 when he declared his view that unborn children deserve
     rights 'at the moment of conception,' and offered one of the
     most emphatic declarations of his opposition to abortion in his presidential
     campaign."
An
     August 17 Associated Press article in which Charles Babington
     and Beth Fouhy reported: "Presidential
     contenders Barack Obama and John McCain differed sharply on abortion
     Saturday, with McCain saying a baby's human rights begin 'at
     conception,' while Obama restated his support for legalized
     abortion."
An August 18 Wall
     Street Journal article, in which
     Laura Meckler wrote: "The
     contrast between the two men may have been sharpest on abortion. Mr.
     Warren asked at what point a 'baby' is 'entitled to human rights.' Sen. McCain
     gave the answer most in the crowd wanted to hear: 'At the moment of
     conception.' "
An
     August 20 Washington Post article, in which
     staff writers Perry Bacon Jr. and Michael Shear wrote: "Over the
     weekend, McCain emerged from a forum at the Saddleback evangelical church
     with high praise from conservatives for his answer to the question about
     when life begins. He said simply, 'At conception.' "
An
     August 20 Washington Post article, in which
     staff writer Jonathan Weisman reported: "At Saddleback, McCain won
     plaudits from conservatives when he said that life begins 'at the
     moment of conception,' especially after Obama deflected the
     question."

		<description>An American human-rights worker was detained by the DHS at JFK when she returned from her holiday in Syria. She found herself in a Kafka-esque nightmare room crammed like a cattle-car with Americans and foreigners seething as they were abused, ignored, insulted (and sometimes deported) by the US government's representatives. So much for public diplomacy. No one who had been detained knew precisely why they were there. A few people were led into private rooms; others were questioned out in the open at desks a few feet from the crowd and then allowed to pass through customs. Some were sent to another section of the holding area with large computer screens and cameras, and then brought back. The uninformed consensus among the detainees was that some people would be fingerprinted, have their irises scanned and be sent back to the countries from which they had disembarked, regardless of citizenship status; others would be fingerprinted and allowed to stay; and the unlucky ones would be detained indefinitely and moved to a more permanent facility. There was one British tourist in the group. Paul (also not his real name) was traveling with three friends who had passed through customs soon after their plane landed and were waiting for him on the other side of the metal barrier; he suspected he had been detained because of his dark skin. When he asked if he could go to the bathroom, one of the guards said, "I wouldn't." "What if someone has to?" I asked. "They will just have to hold it," the guard responded with a smile. Paul began to cry. I watched as he, over the course of four hours, went from feeling exuberant about his trip to New York to despising the entire country. "I speak the Queen's English," he said to me. "I'm third-generation British. I came to America because I've always wanted to come here, and now they've got me so scared that all I want to do is go home. We're paying for your stupid war anyway." I once got pulled out for secondary screening at the Australian border. They brought my pregnant wife a chair and a glass of water, were friendly and professional and prompt, and never made me feel anything other than welcome. They thoroughly investigated me without ever making me feel like a crook. It took all of 10 minutes. It doesn't have to be this way.
