Please show me where he says he supports federal funding. Even for the research, which many support, involving the use of the embryos slated for destruction from fertility clinics he said he would not support federal funding.

He supports funding the research discussed in this article below (the same research touted by Rick Santorum -- that evil liberal. /s). Period.

What Romney actually thinks about embryonic stem-cell research.

In that whole article Mitt sidesteps the issue entirely, and doesn't mention his stated support for embryonic stem cell research on embryos from fertility clinics.

Just another example of his duplicity.

Unlike many on the right, Romney supports research on excess embryos created during fertility treatments. ...... Romney's position, however, is at odds with the views of many conservative anti abortion activists, who believe that any work on stem cells derived from human embryos is wrong, because it destroys the embryos in the process.

Apparently he supports research and embryos, supported Massachusetts paying for it, but now he's saying that even though he supports it he doesn't support the feds paying for it. Weasel weasel weasel.....

He's on record as supporting in theory and opposing in fact the Democrats' bill to fund the embryonic stem cell research he supports.
