BUDAPEST, Hungary, April
9, /Christian
Newswire/
-- According to a recent article written by
Steven Ertelt of Lifenews.com,
Senate Will Debate
Embryonic Stem Cell Research Funding April 10,
the Senate has "scheduled a debate and vote on a
bill that would force taxpayers to fund
embryonic stem cell research." The article
continued by saying, "The main bill, S. 5, is
legislation that would mandate federal funding
of embryonic stem cell research that requires
the destruction of days-old unborn children for
their stem cells."
Phil Magnan, Director
of Biblical Family Advocates greatly disagrees
with the funding of ESCR, embryonic stem cell
research in saying, "It makes absolutely no
sense that the Senate would seek to fund
research that is unproven, extremely costly and
kills children who should be saved from
dismemberment. Why should our tax dollars be
used to kill others to find cures that are
already found in adult stem cells and cord blood
stem cells? There are over 70 cures using these
ethical use
stem cells
so why do we waste tax dollars in the billions
of dollars to fund something that even the
proponents of embryonic stem cell research admit
may take even decades to find life saving
cures?"
Biblical Family Advocates, BFA, strongly
encourages Americans to contact their Senators
immediately and denounce this outrageous attack
on human life and its incredible waste of tax
payer dollars. As Mr. Magnan has stated in a
California State Senate hearing in September of
2004 regarding the funding of ESCR, that he
himself would refuse any medical treatment
derived from embryonic stem cells as it would be
highly unethical to benefit from killing others.
It is the hope of BFA that all Americans would
take this principled stand publicly which could
very well stop this horrific pursuit of killing
the unborn to heal our selves.
Please reach your
senator at 202-224-3121or
you can find specific contact information by
going to
www.senate.gov
as they need to hear from those Americans who do
not want killing for cures.
