The RRR ( Radical Religious Right ) continues to give information that is wrong, deceptive or a lie. Here is the truth I am posting, in talking points.
Clinton banned embryonic research that could become a viable Fetus.
This law did not ban research on embryonic tissue.
The federal Government could fund Embryonic Stem Cell Research as long as the Embryonic Stem Cell line was created by private funds.
The final OK to fund Embryonic Stem Cell Research was in August of 2000 under the Clinton Administration. ( This is why Bush could 'Double' research funds)
There are only 10 Viable Embryonic Stem cell lines available for Federal Funding in the US.
There are only 12 Viable Embryonic Stem Cell lines available for Federal Funding outside the US!!?
When Bush says he has doubled finances to Stem Cell Research, he is referring to animal, bone and adult stem cells NOT Embryonic.
If people only knew the facts, they would not be fighting for the 'RIGHT' to be screwed over.
Time will tell all the Truth.
