Frist's announcement sparks outrage among Christian conservatives |
WASHINGTON - Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist's announcement Friday
that he would support federal funding of embryonic stem cell research
sparked outrage among Christian conservatives...
"Senator Frist's public backing of this horrific science is being felt
deeply across Middle America, and most importantly at the grass
roots," said Tamara Scott, Iowa state director for Concerned Women of
America. "Iowans today are significantly saddened to see our majority
leader support an issue that stands in opposition to his former
pro-life stance."
Marshall Wittmann, former legislative director for the Christian
Coalition, said Frist's break with social conservatives may be a sign
that GOP lawmakers are feeling the heat from swing voters for
intervening in the Terri Schiavo case this year.
After voting to instruct the courts to review whether Schiavo's
feeding tubes should be reinserted, Congress found itself sinking in
the polls as voters expressed unhappiness and shock that lawmakers
would try to step into a private family dispute.
"It may be a signal that the religious right can take nothing for
granted as they look to 2008," said Wittmann, now a political analyst
at the Democratic Leadership Council. "His apostasy may presage a real
fight within the Republican Party in 2008."
