The Democratic controlled congress is quite active in its quest to promote embryonic stem cell research despite its ethical problems and extraordinarily low probability of success (i.e., it's a fantasy). As noted by Jill, today the U.S. House of Representatives approved legislation which would force taxpayers to fund research that requires the destruction of human life.
But it wasn't just House Democrats who today voted to approve the bill. Thirty-seven Republicans joined 210 Democrats to pass the legislation aimed at supplying federal funding for research that destroys human embryos. How did your representative vote?
The only thing stopping this deplorable legislation is President Bush's vow to veto it (although the bill is not veto-proof - contact your legislators). "If this bill were to become law, American taxpayers would for the first time in our history be compelled to support the deliberate destruction of human embryos," he said in a statement. "Crossing that line would be a grave mistake."
Now, imagine for a moment that the future will hold if Rudy Guiliani is elected to the position of President.
