In January the House passed a bill seeking to overturn President Bush's ethical guidelines for embryonic stem cell research funds. On Tuesday, April 10 debate in the Senate will begin on very similar legislation (read text here) with a vote likely the next day, Wednesday, April 11. Proponents of the measure will likely exaggerate claims about the necessity and usefulness of embryonic stem cells, but in addition to its highly questionable usefulness the fundamental problem is that such research destroys human lives. For important information on stem cell research and other bioethics issues visit the stem cell page. To see how your representative voted on the House version of this bill check the Vote Watch page.

THIS WEEK urge your senators to vote "No" on S. 5 to prevent tax dollars from funding embryo-destroying research!

Because of minor alterations to the bill, if S. 5 passes the Senate it will be voted on by the House after which the President has promised to veto the legislation. The bill would then go first to the Senate and then to the House (if necessary) for a veto override vote. Pray that this bill never becomes law and that liberals in Congress will not try to sneak this type of unethical stem cell language into other legislation.
