Eric Massa on Abortion
|
Abortion should be safe, legal, and rare
I believe that abortion should be safe, legal, and above all, rare, and I am fully committed to using all the political and social means available to reduce its frequency. Reproductive rights are one of the most profoundly difficult and divisive
public policy issues facing American leaders today. The debate is often framed in a polarized, either/or way, “right to life” or “pro choice.” The issue divides friends and families, and for many it’s the single issue on which they vote.

I am “pro-cure” on stem cell research
I am absolutely “pro-cure.” Stem cell studies are the most promising area of medical research to come along in decades, offering hope to millions who suffer from chronic diseases like Parkinson’s & Alzheimer’s. We need this research to save lives. The
Administration and some in Congress seek to exploit this issue for political gain, but I believe that we must do all we can to find critical cures. I will vote “YES” on any bill which expands federal support for stem cell research in ethical ways.
