By “biological research,” does he mean embryonic stem cell research? I assume he does, as that’s the only biological research I’m aware of that conservatives do not want the federal government to fund—but I do not recall any Republicans calling for the banning of private funding or research.

I do not agree that this position makes Republicans “antiscience.”

From a leftie’s prospective, throwing out excessive embryos is less pro life then using them to possibly save lives. With countries around the world supporting research, it does seem anti science to me. If we were creating embryo’s just to destroy them, I could see your point.
