Last week the U.S. House voted and passed this bill. There have been several recently publicized studies of Stem Cells with proven successes for treatments as alternatives to Embryonic Stem Cells!
While $$$ Millions have been spent through private and California funded studies on Embryonic Stem Cell research ... there has not been nearly the headway or the proven track record (as that of the alternatives) for treating patients who suffer from things like heart disease and cancer!
as well as... the continued controversy!
Many constituents believe that to use Embryonic Stem Cells is ending a life which could be emplanted to help other families. I'd say the leadership that continues to push ending the lives of those Embryonic Stem Cells in the name of advancement are...BARKING UP THE WRONG TREE!

Washington, D.C. - Today, the U.S. House of Representatives approved federal funding for research that requires the destruction of human life.
Tony Perkins, President of Family Research Council, issued the following statement:
"Rather than defend human dignity, the Democrat led House of Representatives approved legislation to compel U.S. taxpayers to fund research that requires the destruction of human embryos. The President is absolutely right to veto this legislation. "This bill is a bait and switch. It would not just fund so-called "leftover" embryos, it will create a market for creating and cloning more human embryos for the express purpose of killing them."

Today the House of Representatives will vote to force taxpayers to fund stem cell research that requires the destruction of human embryos, knowing full well that their efforts are as flawed as the research itself.
With President Bush vowing to veto the legislation, FRC is working with our friends on the Hill to insure the President's veto can be sustained. Last week, when scientists announced that cells from amniotic fluid were used as a successful and ethical alternative, the liberal reaction on Capitol Hill was further proof that Speaker Pelosi (D-CA) is more interested in advancing a culture of death than she is in helping patients by pursuing true cures.
Instead of celebrating the new studies, the leadership was quick to denounce it as "not enough." H.R. 3, if passed, would also mean that fewer dollars would be available for research that has a proven track record of treating patients who suffer from things like heart disease and cancer.
If supporters of embryonic stem cells research sincerely cared about patients, they would work to fully fund the cord blood bank that FRC helped to pass in a strong bipartisan fashion last Congress.
As the House decides the fate of H.R. 3, FRC will report tomorrow on how the newest "pro-life" Democrats voted in this first test of their campaign promises.
