Ain't my fault that you suffer from politcal dyslexia either. If you can't see that the demos are the party of abortion even with people pointing out the facts to you(i.e the 1993 demos law in Congress), that's your intentional ignorance.
In the 1990s the political tide began to change in favor of fetal tissue research.
- In 1990, Representative Henry Waxman (D-CA) introduced the Research Freedom Act, a bill designed to end the ban on federal funding for fetal tissue transplantation research and to prohibit the executive branch from imposing policy on the NIH. 21 Although the Act passed both houses of Congress, President Bush vetoed it, and the House failed to override the veto by a vote of 271-156. 22
- In 1992, a second medical advisory panel, convened by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) and the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), met to assess the status of fetal research, including fetal tissue transplantation. At a subsequent conference, the panel stressed the need for federal funding to explore promising new areas of fetal research. 23
- Responding to the long-standing recommendations of the scientific community, President Clinton issued an executive order in January 1993, immediately upon taking office, lifting the ban on federal funding for research involving transplantation of fetal tissue from induced abortions. In lifting the ban, President Clinton explained that it had “significantly hampered the development of possible treatments for individuals afflicted with serious diseases and disorders.” In conjunction with the executive order, the administration also directed the NIH to develop guidelines for fetal tissue transplantation research. 24
- Later that year, Congress passed the NIH Revitalization Act, which permits HHS to conduct or support research on therapeutic fetal tissue transplantation and nullified the ban on federal funding of fetal tissue research and prohibits future bans by the Executive Branch. 25
