Editors Note: What follows is a press release from the National Right to Life Committee (NRLC) in Washington, issued Tuesday, January 28, 2003, at 10:30 p.m. ET. For further information, email nrlc@nlrc.org, visit the NRLC website at www.nrlc.org, or contact the NRLC Federal Legislative Department at 202-626-8820.
Following tonight's State of the Union message, the National Right to Life
Committee (NRLC) applauded President Bush for calling on Congress to pass
legislation to ban partial-birth abortion, ban all human cloning, and prevent
rationing of life-saving medical care. In
urging Congress to "end the practice of partial-birth abortion," the President
was pressing for congressional approval of the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act,
sponsored by Congressman Steve Chabot (R-Ohio) and Senator Rick Santorum
(R-Pa.). The bill was twice vetoed by former President Bill Clinton, and still
faces strong opposition from a minority of U.S. senators, including presidential
candidates John Kerry, John Edwards, and Joseph Lieberman. [Further information

President Bush said, "Because no human life should be started or ended as the
object of an experiment, I ask you to set a high standard for humanity and pass
a law against all human cloning." This was a clear call for congressional
approval of the legislation sponsored by Senator Sam Brownback (R-Ks.) and by
Congressmen Dave Weldon (R-Fl.) and Bart Stupak (D-Mi.), which would prohibit
all human cloning, including the cloning of human embryos for research
purposes. [Further information on the human cloning issue is posted here:

also applauds President Bush's rejection of the rationing of lifesaving medical
care, a form of involuntary euthanasia. The President also expressed support
for the right of older Americans to choose their own doctors. By a 62%-34%
margin, Americans agree with National Right to Life that Medicare should allow
older people to add their own money to government Medicare payments in order to
get unrationed, unmanaged health insurance, according to a nationwide Wirthlin
poll taken in December. The pro-life movement will be deeply involved in the
debate over Medicare restructuring. National Right to Life is the nation's largest pro-life group with affiliates in all 50 states and over 3,000 local chapters nationwide. National Right to Life works through legislation and education to protect those threatened by abortion, infanticide and euthanasia. Courtesy: National Right to Life Committee (www.nrlc.org) |
