BUSH OPPOSES STEM CELL RESEARCH


Each life is a gift—
these children I’ve brought today
are former embryos;

each of us started this way
and life can’t be exploited.


There is no such thing
as a spare embryo.
these kids remind us

each embryo is complete,
genetically intact.


This Bill will cross a
critical ethical line
and will bring about

destruction, dismemberment
of emerging human life.
