Republicans urge Obama to overturn stem cell ban

"While we have been encouraged by recent news reports that you plan to issue an Executive Order soon, we cannot stress enough the importance of swift action," the moderate GOP members of Congress wrote Wednesday. "After the current restrictions are lifted, we stand ready to work with you and our colleagues in Congress on adopting complimentary legislation."

The Republicans said that stem cell research holds "great promise" for Americans suffering from afflictions like Parkinson's disease, spinal cord injuries and diabetes.


I am hoping that these are the republicans that will take charge of the party and take it away from the religious nuts.
I see no reason to not overturn it and hope Obama does it soon.

The article is a pretty slanted. There was never a stem cell research ban. Only that federal funding couldn't be used. Good to hear this however.
