Oppose Funding of Destructive Embryonic Stem Cell Research! Support Cures We Can All Live With (updated on 7/7/2009)

On March 9, President Obama issued an Executive Order overturning the limits President Bush had placed on government funding of destructive embryonic stem cell research. On July 7, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) published final guidelines implementing the Obama directive. Reps. Diana DeGette (D-CO) and Michael Castle (R-DE) intend to move forward with broader legislation to "promote all forms of ethical stem cell research," which in their view includes cloning and the creation of embryos solely to destroy them. Members of Congress should be urged to oppose funding destructive embryonic stem cell research and to support effective and ethical adult stem cell research.

Oppose Freedom of Choice Act (updated on 1/14/2009)

FOCA is a radical bill. It creates a "fundamental right" to abortion that would go well beyond the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision in imposing an extreme abortion regimen on our country. For the first time, abortion would become an entitlement the government must condone and promote. FOCA would eliminate a broad range of laws and would have an unprecedented destructive impact on society's ability to limit or regulate abortion. Members of Congress should be urged to oppose FOCA. Those who cosponsored FOCA in the last Congress should be asked not to cosponsor the bill in the current Congress.
