“I’m very grateful that President Obama has lifted the restrictions on federal funding for embryonic stem cell research,” [former first lady Nancy Reagan] wrote in a statement released shortly after Obama reversed the Bush administration limits. “These new rules will now make it possible for scientists to move forward. I urge researchers to make use of the opportunities that are available to them and to do all they can to fulfill the promise that stem cell research offers.”
…“Countless people, suffering from many different diseases, stand to benefit from the answers stem cell research can provide. We owe it to ourselves and to our children to do everything in our power to find cures for these diseases — and soon. As I’ve said before, time is short, and life is precious.”
I’ll bet she’s a SOCIALIST, too.
Thanks for posting Mrs. Reagan's statement.
I just wonder what her son (Michael) will have to say about this issue–if anything….
I was wondering what she would say on this issue (and how other Republicans would respond). I know it's close to her heart. Thanks!
It is the height of hypocrisy that the left is now promoting the personal beliefs of Nancy Reagan. Does that mean that the Obama White House should get an astrologer because Nancy Reagan believes in Astrology?
