                  Democrats Pledge to Make Stem-Cell Bill Top Priority

                  Move comes as no surprise to pro-lifers.

                  One of the first things House Democrats will do when they
take command of Congress in January is reintroduce H.R. 810, the same
embryonic
stem-cell research bill President Bush vetoed earlier this year.

                  House Speaker-designate Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said she
wants the bill passed in the first 100 hours of business. Senate Minority
Leader
Harry Reid, D-Nev. -- the next Senate majority leader -- has pledged to have
the Senate act on the bill before January is over.

                  The bill, originally sponsored by Reps. Dianna DeGette,
D-Colo., and Michael Castle, R-Del., is not one pro-lifers can support.

                  Embryonic stem-cell research always requires the
destruction of human life to harvest the cells, and, to date, has produced
no cures.
Noncontroversial adult stem-cells are already being used to treat more than
70 diseases.

                  "What they are hoping to achieve is an expansion of
federal funding for embryonic stem-cell research," said Matthew Eppinette,
associate
director of the Center for Bioethics and Human Dignity.
