U.S. Senate Votes To Destroy Human Life For Research

Pro-life Citizens Must Make Their Voices Heard to the President.

The U.S. Senate voted 63-34 yesterday in favor of S. 5, which would allow federal tax dollars to be used as an incentive to destroy human embryos for stem-cell research. President Bush has promised a veto, and 67 votes were needed to override that veto.

In stark contrast to claims that embryonic stem cells hold the most promise for medical cures, a study published Tuesday in The Journal of the American Medical Association shows 13 young Brazilians with type 1 diabetes have been able to stop taking insulin shots, thanks to a promising treatment with their own stem cells — not embryonic stem cells.

Thankfully, President Bush opposes the legislation and said he would veto it. "This bill crosses a moral line that I and many others find troubling. If it advances all the way through Congress to my desk, I will veto it," the president said in a statement after the vote.

Take Action
Send the President an email thanking him for his pledge to protect innocent human life and urging him to follow through with the veto. It is imperative that pro-life citizens make their voices heard to the president.

1. Protect life?

If these embryos aren't used for something useful they are going to get thrown away. What is so hard for people to understand about that!?!

Nobody is protecting anything.
