CORKER: I am pro-life. I support the culture of life. I’d appoint judges who don’t create law from the bench, but interpret the laws that are on the books. I’d love to incrementally work to lessen the number of abortions in this country.
FORD: I’m pro-life too. We’ve got to take steps early on, even before a woman gets pregnant, by putting character education & abstinence programs in our schools, and other legislation to reduce the number of abortions.
CORKER: My dad has Alzheimer’s, and I know a lot of people are afflicted. I want to use every piece of science available to cure those diseases -- adult stem cells; cord research -- those types of stem cell research that have actually been proven, I want to see those carried out. I was incredibly disappointed that this last Congress did not add the money necessary to make sure that those types of technology are carried on. I do not support the type of stem cell research that destroys human life. But I strongly support those kinds that are proven to cure diseases, where we have tremendous breakthroughs.
FORD: When it comes to stem cells, I’m with [the people]. His party has blocked it. He claims that the Congress blocked it -- I would remind my opponent that the Republicans who control the House, the Senate, and the White House.
