Wilson Supports Sanctity of Life

Congressman Joe Wilson (SC-02) today released the following statement regarding H.R. 3, the "Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act of 2007":

"The bill we are today considering disregards our inalienable right to life as well as recent medical breakthroughs. Just this week, Wake Forest and Harvard Medical Schools released a new study highlighting the potential of amniotic stem cells for research purposes. In fact, these stem cells were said to hold ‘much the same promise' as embryonic stem cells.

"Unfortunately, Democrats are choosing to run roughshod over the legislative process and force through an irresponsible piece of legislation. Were we given the opportunity to examine these new findings in committee and hear scientific testimony, I am confident we could forge a compromise that progresses medical research while protecting unborn embryos."
