Rick Scott is Anti-Choice

Voters who are pro-choice should be alarmed by Rick Scott's stance on abortion. On his campaign web site, Scott supports overturning Roev. Wade. Scott also supports a permanent federal ban on embryonic stem cell. Scientist have repeatedly stated that embryonic stem cells. Dr. Hans Keirstead used embryonic stem cells to give paralyzed rats the ability to walk again. Embryonic stem cell research may one day be able to do the same thing for humans.

"If it does the same thing in humans, I think we’ve hit something here that’s gonna be truly remarkable," says Dr. Keirstead.

Keirstead has been quoted as saying that that every 100 years we have one major medical milestone and that this is one of those times. It's a pretty bold statement.

"I have never seen in my career a biological tool as powerful as the stem cells. It addresses every single human disease," says Keirstead.

Scott also states he would has signed the intrusive HB 1143. The bill would have forced women to take an ultrasound before having an abortion. There is no medical need for a woman getting an abortion to get an ultrasound. The bill was designed to give a guilt trip to women getting abortions.

Scott booast about being the chairman of the Conservatives for Patients’ Rights. A man who was the CEO of a company involved in the worst Medicaid fraud case in United States history has a lot of chutzpah portraying himself as a consumer advocate.

Transcript of Scott's abortion position.

I am pro-life. I believe strongly in the sanctity of human life. I believe Roe v. Wade should be overturned, and as governor, would appoint judges who apply law and not impose their political agenda on the people, which was what was done in 1973 when Roe was wrongly decided.

As governor, I would have signed the pro-life ultrasound legislation that has passed both house of the Florida legislature and was vetoed by Charlie Crist for political reasons.

This important legislation not only demonstrates that abortion is the taking of an innocent human life but also prevents Florida taxpayers from funding abortion through the federal health care plan that recently passed Congress.

As governor, I will be an advocate for pro-life issues. I will support a permanent ban on embryonic stem cell research. We should never experiment with or discard human life. I’m appreciative that science has shown that adult stem cells can yield scientific advances. We need to find much-needed cures for debilitating diseases. As chairman of Conservatives for Patients’ Rights, I worked with like-minded organizations in opposing abortion coverage in the ObamaCare bill.
