| Pence: Pro-Life Hero |
| 05.18.05 (2:55 pm) [edit] |
Washington, May 18 - (photo: Pence speaks at the annual March for Life in Washington.)
Congressman Mike Pence spoke today on the House floor, urging his colleagues to stand for the sanctity of life and oppose federal funding for embryonic stem cell research. Pence’s comments follow:
“In the coming days, Congress will consider legislation to make taxpayer dollars available for what is known as embryonic stem cell research.
“Stating the case for an imminent presidential veto, in 2001 President Bush made the moral dimensions of scientific testing on human embryos clear.
“These are the principles:
“It is morally wrong to create human life to destroy it for research.
“Also, it is morally wrong to take the tax dollars of millions of pro-life Americans and use them to finance research that they find morally objectionable.
“The choice of our time was described millennia ago: ‘See, I set before you blessings and curses, life and death. Now choose life that you and your children may live.’
“I urge my colleagues to stand for the sanctity of life at every level. Stand with President George W. Bush. Reject taxpayer funding of human embryo research.”
