The conservative candidates - Romney, Brownback, Huckabee and likely candidate Fred Thompson - firmly oppose such research, which is anathema to their pro-life supporters. As Brownback said during the Senate's April vote on the issue, "This would say we can treat humans at the youngest age of their life continuum as property and that we will use Federal taxpayer dollars to destroy them and to do research on them...
