Nancy Reagan Again Takes Lead on Stem Cells By LAURIE KELLMAN,
Associated Press Writer
Mon May 15, 7:58 PM ET
With Nancy Reagan's blessing and in defiance of President Bush's veto
threat, Senate Republican leaders are making plans for a vote this
summer on a bill to restore federal funding of embryonic stem cell
research.
The House passed the measure nearly a year ago with support from 50
Republicans. Supporters contend government funding of the budding
science could someday cure diseases suffered by millions of people.
Opponents argue that harvesting such stem cells amounts to abortion
because an embryo is destroyed in the process.
President Bush in 2001 ordered sharp restrictions on federal funding
of embryonic stem cell research, allowing it only for stem cells
created before Aug. 9 of that year.
His veto threat stands, according to White House spokesman Ken
Lisaius. Neither chamber of Congress has demonstrated the two-thirds
support required to overcome a veto.
"The president's embryonic stem cell policy serves both science and
ethics," Lisaius said.
Mrs. Reagan, in a statement to Sen. Orrin Hatch (news, bio, voting
record), R-Utah, a sponsor of the bill, gently urges the Senate to
pass it despite Bush's veto threat, according to aides in both parties
who have seen the letter and spoke on condition of anonymity.
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., announced last summer that
he supports the measure. With Republicans divided on the issue, he has
been looking for a way to bring it to the floor as part of a package
that stands a chance of passing.
A Senate Republican aide who spoke on condition of anonymity said
tentative plans are for the House-passed bill to be brought up this
summer as part of a three-measure package. The debate, expected to
last only two days, also would include related bills to fund research
on stem cells derived from other sources and ban so-called farming of
embryos for scientific purposes.
Mrs. Reagan's letter and a firming up of plans to tackle the issue
this summer before the November elections mark a major step forward
for the bill in the Senate. All 435 House seats and a third of the
100-member Senate are up for re-election at a time when Bush's
approval ratings are at an all-time low.
The embryonic stem cell debate is one issue where parting with the
president is unlikely to hurt senators. An overwhelming majority of
the public supports the bill, including such pro-life constituencies
represented by Hatch and Frist, a heart transplant surgeon.
The debate has deeply personal overtones in both chambers. Judiciary
Committee Chairman Arlen Specter, R-Pa., last year held himself up as
Exhibit A of the types of illnesses that might be cured by embryonic
stem cell science. Specter last year endured a 32-week round of
chemotherapy for Hodgkin's disease, his hair loss at the time a stark
reminder of the issue to Bush and television viewers.
Other conservatives also have cited personal experience for their
votes. Rep. Jo Ann Emerson (news, bio, voting record), R-Mo., who
opposes abortion, voted for the bill after telling House colleagues
she watched her mother-in-law die after suffering from Alzheimer's
disease like former President Reagan.
Mrs. Reagan's support proved crucial to passage during debate in the
House, where conservatives hold more power than their counterparts in
the Senate.
But for all of the cross-party support, opponents still have
present-day science, Senate procedure and Bush on their side. They
point out that embryonic stem cell research is still in its infancy,
unlike research on stem cells derived from umbilical cord blood and
other science.

Good for Nancy, but I'm surprised. Unless I miss my guess, her late
hubby would have sided firmly with Dubya on this issue.

Nancy supports stem cell research precisely because of her hubby.
