I read about the Laura pro-stem-cell research stance at another site. I looked, and here's what I found from 8/31/04: When the Kerry camp began to critique Bush's position on stem-cell research, it was Laura who called the attack "ridiculous"; her husband, she explained, was "the only president to ever authorize federal funding for embryonic stem-cell research." (Never mind that he authorized a uselessly tiny amount.) When asked in the days that followed whether she is now pro-life, she said: "Yes, I think abortion should be rare." slate.msn.com

Here's another laura quote: "Everyone supports stem-cell research and so did the president and there are embryonic lines for research. It's a very delicate balance between what we want to do for science and for research and what is ethically and morally right to do," Laura Bush said. President Bush signed an executive order in 2001 banning the use of federal funds to harvest new lines of stem cells for medical research. cnn.com Additionally: Asked whether the federal spending on embryonic stem cell research should remain as it is or be increased, Laura Bush replied: "We need to be really very delicate about it."
