If people think that you're throwing babies out, dissecting children, to do stem-cell research, I'm not for that.

I think that we're foolhardy to not be engaging in federal funding of stem-cell research in the most aggressive way we possibly can.

I wholeheartedly support umbilical stem cell research, but also support embryonic stem cell research.

Embryonic stem cell research will prolong life, improve life and give hope for life to millions of people.

You cannot be against embryonic stem cell research and be intellectually and therefore morally consistent, if you're not also against in vitro fertilization.

The refusal to acknowledge the scientific value of embryonic stem cell research is one more tragic misstep.
