Urgent Congressional Alert: Urge Senate to Reject Embryo-Killing Research.
WASHINGTON (July 5, 2005) The U.S. Senate is expected to vote around mid-July on a bill that would mandate federal funding of research that requires the killing of human embryos. Such legislation has already passed the U.S. House of Representatives (see the story in the June edition of NRL News, page 1).
In addition, the Senate may vote on legislation that would ban the creation of human embryos by cloning.
Your help is needed! Please communicate with your two U.S. senators, urging them to oppose legislation that would mandate federal funding of research that requires killing human embryos (H.R. 810/S. 471).
Also, urge them to support legislation that would prohibit the creation of human embryos by cloning (the Brownback-Landrieu bill, S. 658).
You can send messages to your representatives by e-mail, telephone, fax, or U.S. mail. Details appear below.
Background
On May 24, 2005, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 810, a bill to mandate federal funding of stem cell research that requires killing human embryos. That bill is now before the Senate, along with its identical companion bill, S. 471, which is sponsored by anti-life Senators Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) and Tom Harkin (D-Iowa). This legislation is strongly opposed by President Bush (see story, page 1), and by NRLC.
