PFLI Note: Certainly not the first time NRTL has worked to the detriment 
of the babies.
Taking credit for Jill Stanek's groundbreaking work in exposing the 
Infanticide proclivity of
Barrie Hussein was just another episode of 35 years of jaded history.

*NRTLC LAWYER WORKS AGAINST PROTECTION FOR THE PREBORN
*

*Washington, DC (29 August 2008)* -- American Life League Vice President 
Jim Sedlak denounced comments made by National Right to Life Committee 
lawyer James Bopp. Bopp's comments opposed an amendment to the 
Republican Party platform that would protect preborn persons against the 
threat of embryonic experimentation.

"It is incredible that Mr. Bopp, while clearly identifying himself as 
speaking for the National Right to Life Committee, would state that 
embryonic experimentation is acceptable," said Sedlak.

Bopp spoke against a platform amendment to work toward a ban on 
embryonic stem cell research and cloning Aug. 27.  He told the committee:

"It may very well be in our future that there is therapeutic research 
that can be done on human embryos, and there is nothing unethical 
immoral, improper or ... that disregards the sanctity of life if we are 
involved in therapeutic research."

Sedlak remarked, "Mr. Bopp clearly said he opposed creating human 
embryos for experimentation, but said it could be OK to experiment on 
human embryos that already existed. The thought that any representative 
of a national pro-life group would endorse experimentation on the 
tiniest humans is outrageous."

In the past Bopp has opposed measures against embryonic stem cell 
research for purely political reasons. He also consistently opposes 
proposed state constitutional amendments that would protect innocent 
preborn children as persons.

"Bopp panders for the sake of politics rather than principle. Thank God 
the platform defenders remained strong and did not listen to his flawed 
thinking." Sedlak said. "American Life League calls on the leadership of 
the National Right to Life Committee to disavow Mr. Bopp's comments and 
to make it absolutely clear that NRLC is totally opposed to embryonic 
experimentation, just like every other major pro-life organization in 
the country."

American Life League was cofounded in 1979 by Judie Brown. It is the 
largest grassroots Catholic pro-life organization in the United States 
and is committed to the protection of all innocent human beings from the 
moment of creation to natural death. For more information or media
