On Abortion: Restricted funding for fetal & embryonic stem cell research

Kaine signed a bill banning the use of some state funds for in-state research on human embryonic stem cells and cells or tissue derived from induced abortions. The bill was part of legislation intended to promote "science and technology-based" research and development in Virginia. Virginia's General Assembly inserted language that would prevent a state fund from financially supporting organizations or businesses that undertake "research in Virginia on human cells or tissue derived from induced abortions or from stem cells obtained from human embryos."
