Madame Virginia Foxx was one of 194 members of the House of Representatives (all but 14 of them Republicans) to vote against H.R. 810 today, the "Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act." The law was sponsored by Republican William Castle of Delaware and drew some 50 Republican votes. (The same bill will probably pass the Senate, which El Presidente has promised to veto ... bless his heart.)
Foxx'll claim she voted for stem-cell research ... H.R. 2520, sponsored by rabid pro-lifer Rep. Christopher Smith of N.J., the "Stem Cell Therapeutic and Research Act," which is all about umbilical cord blood and NOT embryonic stem cells, which most scientists agree hold the most promise for miracle cures of genetic diseases. H.R. 2520 also passed today, with only one vote against. That was the easy vote.
Madame Foxx choked on the big one.
