At a news conference conducted at the State Capitol today, the Michigan Catholic Conference stood with several health care and human service organizations to speak on behalf of those most vulnerable citizens who will be directly affected by some $600 million in proposed state budget cuts, particularly in the area of Medicaid.

Michigan Catholic Conference announced its vehement opposition to proposed legislation that seeks to boost the state's struggling economy by appropriating public tax dollars for human cloning and destructive embryo research. The Conference is urging Michigan legislators to direct their attention toward ethical adult stem cell research, which does not kill human embryos and is currently treating some 58 debilitating conditions, including Parkinson's disease, brain cancer, heart damage and juvenile diabetes.
