Steve Buehrer Fights For the Pro-Life Cause

From Citizens for Conservative Values (CCV):

COLUMBUS, OH - State Senator Steve Buehrer (R-Delta) today gave sponsor testimony on Senate Bill 174, legislation he introduced that would prohibit the immoral practice of human cloning in Ohio, representing an important step toward protecting the sanctity of human life across the state.”My belief is that every human life is a unique creation of God that should be protected and cherished,” explained Buehrer. “The cloning of humans, in any way shape or form, is a procedure that violates this sanctity of life, serves little purpose and threatens to tear apart our nation’s moral fiber. It must be stopped.”

SB 174 establishes necessary safeguards in state law that ensure human cloning will not take place in Ohio, and if it does, those violators will be punished. Specifically, the bill would prohibit any attempt to perform a human cloning procedure in Ohio, as well as forbid the practice of sending or receiving a human embryo, or any product of that embryo that is produced through cloning.

Buehrer noted that if anyone should not follow these rules, they would face criminal prosecution and may be subject to stiff fines. Importantly, he went on to clarify that nothing in SB 174 restricts scientific research that does not involve the cloning of human embryos. Currently, six states have a complete ban on human cloning, while 21 other states have substantially restricted such practices.

“While I think we can all agree that science has produced some great things for man kind in recent years, as the scope of scientific possibilities widens, the line between science and morality has become dangerously blurred in many cases,” added Buehrer. “SB 174 sets a necessary parameter and boundary for ongoing research and discussion, while helping to ensure that all human life in Ohio is protected.”

    Paid to say what? I posted what I was sent by CCV in my email inbox. I’m sent atleast 3 copies of their newsletter, and thought this one was relevant.

    I was so ready for you to say that Latta is for human cloning, seeing how much you love lying about the man and helping spread misinformation about his record that you know is a lie.
