Mike Huckabee Urges Veto of Senate-Passed Legislation to Provide Federal Funds for Embryonic Stem Research
Press Release - Little Rock, AR: Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee said today that he strongly supports a presidential veto of legislation passed by the U.S. Senate to limit restrictions on federally-funded embryonic stem cell research. The Senate voted 63-34 late Wednesday to ease restrictions, prompting President Bush's threat of a veto. The vote falls short of the number needed to override a veto.
“I recognize the potential power of stem cell research and I support efforts to expand federal research dollars in adult stem cells and those derived from existing lines. However, I do not favor relaxing restrictions on federal financing on embryonic stem cell research under any circumstances. I believe it is wrong to create human life for the sole purpose of research,” said Huckabee. “Plus recent studies indicate that umbilical cord stem cells may have the same properties as embryonic, rendering the issue moot since use of umbilical wouldn't destroy life,” he said. The House is expected to adopt the Senate’s version in the weeks ahead. President Bush said in a statement that if the legislation advances all the way through Congress to his desk, he will veto it. The Senate also voted 70-28 to pass a separate measure that supports research in adult stem cells, which Huckabee said is more advanced and he supports. See also:Senate OKs embryonic stem cell bills
