Building an America where freedom, opportunity, prosperity, and civil society flourish.

About The Heritage Foundation

Founded in 1973, The Heritage Foundation is a research and educational institution—a think tank—whose mission is to formulate and promote conservative public policies based on the principles of free enterprise, limited government, individual freedom, traditional American values, and a strong national defense. We believe the principles and ideas of the American Founding are worth conserving and renewing. As policy entrepreneurs, we believe the most effective solutions are consistent with those ideas and principles.

Family Research Council Supports Stem Cell Research

Posted September 12th, 2008 at 10:54am in Family and Religion 0 Print This Post Print This Post

FRC Action senior vice president Connie Mackey was adamant about what conservatives should tell reporters when asked if they support stem cell research: “Say, yes!”

Of course conservatives must then explain to reporters the huge difference between adult stem research and embryonic stem cell research. Also on the “Truth Behind Capitol Hill’s Leading Ladies” panel at the Values Voters Summit, Rep. Michelle Bachman told the audience, “Science is our friend. We have not seen any breakthroughs with embryonic stem cell research. We have seen them with adult stem cell research.” You can read about the success of adult stem cells here, and Heritage outlines the ethical issues here.
