Congress to Vote on Pro-Embryonic Stem Cell Research Bill Later This Month

Life News: “Members of Congress are expected to vote later this month on legislation that would force taxpayer funding of embryonic stem cell research. The bill is a response to a judge’s decision saying the executive order President Barack Obama issued to mandate funding violates a federal law . . . Steven Aden, a lead attorney for the Alliance Defense Fund, which represented the adult stem cell researchers who filed the case against the Obama administration, applauded the decision. ‘The American people should not be forced to pay for experiments — prohibited by federal law — that destroy human life,’ he said. ‘The court is simply enforcing an existing law passed by Congress that prevents Americans from paying another penny for needless research on human embryos.’”
