Pence Denounces President's Stem Cell Decision

Statement

U.S. Congressman Mike Pence made the following statement in response to President Obama's executive order to federally fund scientific research that involves the destruction of human embryos:

"It is categorically wrong to fund unnecessary and immoral research that destroys human embryos. In just a few short weeks the President has made it clear he will use the office of the presidency to weaken protections for the unborn, and will do so using taxpayer dollars. The President has ordered prolife taxpayers to foot the bill for promoting overseas abortions and for scientific research that destroys human embryos.

"Sadly, the President's action ignores the miracles found in adult stem cell research. Embryonic stem cell research has failed to provide a single treatment to a living patient. It's unfortunate President Obama has chosen to support the empty promises of embryonic stem cells despite the living hope available in adult stem cell research."
