Nebraska Right to Life is opposing what the MSM has misreported as a "compromise" stem cell research bill. At the end of last week, media outlets reported that a bill the legislature’s judiciary committee approved on a 6-1 margin was supposedly a compromise between both sides. The measure bans human cloning for reproductive purposes but appears to allow scientists to clone and kill human embryos for research.
But Julie Schmit-Albin, the executive director of Nebraska Right to Life, tells LifeNews.com that the measure, LB 606, is not a compromise on bioethics issues and her organization, and other pro-life groups, don't support it. “Nothing could be further from the truth,” she told LifeNews.com.
Here's the LifeNews report. And here, from the NRL web site, is a joint statement signed by Nebraska pro-life groups (including Vital Signs Ministries) about the legitimate cloning ban available to Nebraskans, Lb 700.
