Urgent Congressional Alert: U.S. Senate to Vote on Human Embryo Cloning Ban At Any Time!(Brief Article)
WASHINGTON (May 7, 2002) -- The U.S. Senate is on the verge of voting on one of the most important pro-life issues that it has ever conducted: Whether to ban the cloning of human embryos.
For a detailed report on recent developments, see ?Biotech Lobby and Patient Groups Urge Senate to Say Yes to Human Cloning,? on 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 pending bill that would really ban human cloning.
Also urge them to oppose ?clone and kill? legislation that would permit the cloning of human embryos but prohibit their survival (such as bills proposed by Senators Specter and Feinstein, S. 2439, and Senators Dorgan and Johnson, S. 2076). These bills would permit the establishment of human ?embryo farms? and the federally mandated mass destruction of human embryos.
Please 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.
