Quotes to Note

It's not the FUNDS that are Lacking for Embryonic Stem Cell Research.
It's the Results.

Successful human trials/treatments using Embryonic Stem Cells: 0
Successful human trials/treatments/cures using Adult Stem Cells: 72

FDA approved human trials using embryonic stem cells -- 0
FDA approved clinical trials using adult stem cells -- 1,181

Embryonic stem cells have been used in ANIMAL trials for 25 years.
After 25 years, and many thousands of dead mice and rats, ESCs have not been shown safe enough for trials in humans, mainly because of their propensity to form tumors (grow uncontrollably), and because of their rejection problems.

Pro-Information Statement: Patient's Right to Receive Complete Medical Information

"Our physicians believe that patients have the right to be fully informed regarding potentially adverse effects before undergoing medical treatment. While a difference of medical opinion exists concerning the abortion-breast cancer link, there is a significant amount of reasonable evidence supporting the link, as well as a preponderance of studies showing other post-abortion effects. Because we recognize the right to informed consent before entering into medical treatment for other body systems, we believe that the majority of women would want to be informed of the evidence of abortion consequences before making an abortion decision."
