CHRISTOPHER REEVE ON THE RELIGIOUS RIGHT

In the context of the stem cell debate, that is. From Reader's Digest courtesy of The Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy:

RD: How have political decisions slowed stem cell research?

Reeve: The religious right has had quite an influence on the debate. I don't think that's appropriate. When we're setting public policy, no one segment of society deserves the only seat at the table. That's the way it's set in the Constitution. So debate all we want, hear from everybody. And then allow our representatives to weigh the factors and make laws that are going to be ethically sound, moral, responsible, but not the result of undue pressure from any particular entity.

Way to go, Superman!
