Murtha has disappointed pro-life advocates with votes on euthanasia and embryonic stem cell research.
In March 2005, Murtha voted against allowing Terri Schiavo's parents to take their lawsuit seeking to stop her euthanasia death to federal courts for a review. He also voted for the bill to force taxpayers to fund embryonic stem cell research, which involves the destruction of human life, and voted to overturn President Bush's veto of that measure.

The Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics will begin this week a three-part discussion series designed to better connect members of the general public with some of the nation's leading scholars of medical and public health ethics, all of whom are working on issues that affect society at large. As a public service to the local community, the institute will host its first-ever Grounds for Discussion series at the Evergreen coffee house in Baltimore.
"For concerned citizens, moral dialogue can be empowering," said Ruth Faden, executive director of the Berman Bioethics Institute. "Everyone remembers the dilemma of the Terry Schiavo case. It was an agonizing debate for the nation, but it could have been resolved much sooner if educated public discourse had taken place. Interacting with the public about such difficult moral issues is important to help inform future debates."

Boy, if we have any more "anti-abortion" candidates like Murtha, they'll be sending our daughters to internment camps to manufacture embryos.
