Pelosi Sings Praises of Embryo Destruction

(Hat tip: Argent by the Tiber)

"Conservative Catholic grandmother" Nancy Pelosi had this to say yesterday upon passage of H.B. 3, which provides federal funding for destructive embryonic stem-cell research:

Today, by passing legislation to expand stem cell research, the House gave voice to the hopes of more than 100 million Americans and their families.

“With the great potential of embryonic stem cell research, science has the power to answer the prayers of America’s families. We must unlock the promise for stem cell therapies to alleviate human suffering and to cure diseases, including diabetes, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, multiple sclerosis, and cancer.

“The Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act of 2007 will expand federal funding for enormously promising embryonic stem cell research, using stem cell lines generated from embryos that would have otherwise been discarded by fertility clinics. Unlike President Bush’s current policy, this legislation includes strong ethical guidelines for conducting stem cell research.

I'm sorry, did you say something Archbishop Wuerl? Archbishop Niederauer?

I didn't think so.
