Pro-Science forces go on the offensive

October 12, 2005 |

After spending the last few years playing defense against State Senator Matt Bartle and other wingnuts hellbent on criminalizing scientific research, Missouri’s scientific community is finally going on the offensive. The Missouri Coalition for Lifesaving Cures is now pushing for a constitutional amendment to definitively legalize stem cell research, as well as outlaw human cloning. The group will start gathering signatures for an iniative petition to be placed on the November 2006 ballot.

    Read Jo Mannies article 10/15/05 “Missouri Initiative is Splitting States GOP” at stltoday.com — sounds like everyone thinks this will get on the ‘o6 ballot and are already strategizing that it be put on the August ballot, not Nov when Talent runs for re-election against pro-stem cell research McCaskill. Find out more about the “constitutional initiative” and efforts to start collecting signatures in the next month at http://www.missouricures.com .
