WASHINGTON (April 14, 2002) -- One of the most important pro-life votes ever conducted in the U.S. Senate will occur before May 24. The Senate will vote on whether to ban the cloning of human embryos.

For a detailed report on recent developments, see "In Historic Speech, President Bush Urges U.S. Senate to Ban Human Embryo Cloning," page 1. Please urge ALL U.S. senators to support S. 1899, sponsored by Senators Sam Brownback and Mary Landrieu. The Brownback-Landrieu bill is the ONLY bill that would really ban human cloning.

Urge them to oppose "clone and kill" legislation that would permit the cloning of human embryos but require that they be killed in experimentation (such as bills proposed by Senators Feinstein, Kennedy, Harkin, and Specter). These bills would permit the establishment of human "embryo farms" and the mass destruction of human embryos.

And urge your fellow citizens to do the same. Time is short.

ACTION REQUIRED

Beginning immediately, pro-life citizens should phone, fax, and/or e-mail the offices of both U.S. Senators for their states.

Because of heightened security on Capitol Hill, regular mail is being delayed for long periods, and SHOULD NOT BE relied on at this time.
