STEM CELL RESEARCH AND HUMAN CLONING
Governor Romney would reinstate the Bush-era policy banning further federal funding of embryonic stem-cell research. The dual goals of scientific research and respect for human life are not in conflict. Adult stem cell research is a promising field that should be actively pursued. The desire to make great scientific discoveries does not mean we quickly discard our moral duty to protect human life in its most vulnerable form. Governor Romney also unequivocally opposes the creation of embryos for research. Here’s what he’s said: “I do not favor, if you will, what is known as embryo farming, taking donor sperm, donor eggs, putting them together in the laboratory, and creating new embryos.” (CNN’s “The Situation Room,” 10/17/06).

There has been a lot of talk this year in Congress about how to save money to ensure that our children and grandchildren see the same opportunities we’ve been afforded.
As the Obama administration requested and was denied a stand-alone $2-trillion increase in the nation’s credit card limit, we must first look to the causes of so much of our federal spending and how we can reform them.

Zeeland, Mich. – U.S. Representative-candidate Bill Huizenga (R-Zeeland) issued the following statement after the Michigan Department of Energy, Labor and Economic Growth announced that the unemployment rate in Michigan remains at 13.1 percent:
