Gop senate leader frist backs stem cell research { July 30 2005 } Original Source Link: (May no longer be active)    http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200507/s1426169.htm http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200507/s1426169.htm Last Update: Saturday, July 30, 2005. 7:47am (AEST) Conservative US Senate leader backs stem cell research In a rare break with US President George W Bush and anti-abortion conservatives, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist has endorsed legislation that would expand federally funded embryonic stem cell research. Senator Frist is a Tennessee Republican and surgeon who may seek his party's presidential nomination in 2008. He has endorsed a bill that would overturn the limits on stem cell research which Mr Bush imposed in 2001. The bill has already passed the US House of Representatives. Senator Frist's backing, which could alienate the most staunchly anti-abortion conservatives but attract support from moderates in a potential White House bid, significantly improves the legislation's chances of passing. Mr Bush has vowed to veto the legislation because embryos are destroyed when the stem cells are extracted. White House spokesman Scott McClellan says Mr Bush has not wavered in his moral opposition to the research but when Senator Frist informed him of his decision by telephone on Thursday night, the President told him: "You've got to vote your conscience." Patients suffering from diabetes, Parkinson's disease, spinal cord injuries and other debilitating and life-threatening disorders have been clamouring for more federal dollars for stem cell research. Opinion polls show growing support for its expansion, even among many conservatives like Senator Frist who generally oppose abortion. "I am pro-life, I believe human life begins at conception," Senator Frist said in a Senate speech. "I also believe that embryonic stem cell research should be encouraged and supported." - Reuters
