Maryland Catholic Conference official remarks:

In her fight against state funding for embryonic stem-cell research, Nancy Fortier, Maryland Catholic Conference associate director for the respect for life office, said she was repeatedly confronted by lawmakers who called her a liar for pointing out that the stem-cell bill permitted cloning and that adult stem-cell research favored by the church has had far more success than embryonic stem-cell research.

"I represented an obstacle and they didn’t like it," she said. "We stood for the truth and we shined a light on what they were doing."
