VSHL Congressional Alert
Contact Virginia Senators During Spring Recess
Background
Geline Williams, Virginia's delegate to the National Right to Life Committee, met with both Senator George Allen and Senator John Warner in separate meetings on March 14, 2002. Senator Allen conveyed his firm intention to vote for the Brownback-Landrieu bill to ban the cloning of human embryos, and to oppose the "clone and kill" counterproposals being pushed by pro-cloning forces. Senator Warner also conveyed his inclination to support the Brownback bill, consistent with Virginia law, which already bans the cloning of human embryos within the Commonwealth. For further information on these bills, see the March 7 Action Item from NRLC.Action
We are encouraged by and appreciative of these statements by our Virginia senators. We recognize, however, that pro-cloning forces will be directing many communications to both senators during the weeks leading up to the vote, which is likely to occur in the latter part of April. Therefore, it is vitally important that they also hear expressions of support for banning the cloning of human embryos, particularly as they travel about the state during the upcoming congressional spring recess (March 22-April 8).For phone and fax numbers, and e-mail addresses, click here.
