Boehner Statement on Administration's Reported Decision to Allow Taxpayer Funding of Research that Destroys Human Life

Contact: Michael Steel, Kevin Smith, Steve Forde, 202-225-4000; all with John Boehner's Office

WASHINGTON, Mar. 6 /Standard Newswire/ -- House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) today issued the following statement on reports that President Obama will roll back restrictions on taxpayer funding of human embryonic stem cell research:

"Advancements in science and research have moved faster than the debates among politicians in Washington, D.C., and breakthroughs announced in recent years confirm that the full potential of stem cell research can be realized without the destruction of living human embryos.  This issue is not about whether federal dollars should fund stem cell research.  There is little debate about that, and Republicans enthusiastically support adult, cord blood, and pluripotent stem cell research that have shown so much promise in recent years.  The question is whether taxpayer dollars should be used to subsidize the destruction of precious human life.  Millions of Americans strongly oppose that, and rightfully so.  Taxpayer dollars should not aid the destruction of innocent human life."
