 The "Stem Cell Research" Issue
Michael Soules of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (the only organization which presently is placing restrictions on the use of frozen embryos for research purposes) "saw nothing wrong with the procedure, except the ‘timing'".
Some states have passed laws against the destruction of embryos, or the use of cloning techniques; however, there is no federal law governing these practices.
Such an argument fails to account for the intent of the legislators who passed the law; they intended that there be no killing of embryos, not that the government would ask someone else to perform the killing and then provide them funds for research on the remains of the dead.

Robertson has also stated that the Coalition's purpose is to "restore Godly principles and Godly people to all centers of influence, from the school house to the White House." The plan was to contact all churches and train Christians (including "pro-life Catholics") to be effective in the political arena and assist in voter registration.
The potential danger in the ACLJ is the ecumenical overtones and ecumenical bait being dangled before the legally-needy believer.
