MD Representative Invited to Visit Blog

Representative Roscoe Bartlett of the 6th district of Maryland has been invited to visit this blog. Rep. Bartlett opposed S.5 (a bill to amend the Public Health Service Act to provide for embryonic stem cell research, which was vetoed by Pres. Bush in June, 2007) and S.30 (a bill to intensify research to derive human pluripotent stem cell lines, which was passed in April, 2007). Rep. Bartlett supports the Patients First Act of 2009 because it does not support the creation of a human embryo for research purposes nor does it support the destruction of or discarding of a human living embryo. He is one of our main links to attract the pro-life population, who may be uninformed about the stipulations of the bill and believe that the bill does involve destroying human lives.
