==Proposition 2==

==Proposition 2==

Proposal 2, a ballot measure that would allow embryonic [[stem cell]] researchers to destroy human embryos passed thanks to promotion by Jennifer Granholm. She asserted that such a measure is in accord with the Catholic Church's pro-life teaching. ''"As a [[Catholic]], I can say to be pro-cure is to be pro-life."'' This drew condemnation from the Catholic Church. Bishop Earl Boyea of Lansing says, ''"But to imply that Proposal 2 is a valid expression of Catholic principles is shocking. Nothing could be further from the truth."'' <ref>[http://www.catholic.org/politics/story.php?id=30290 Bishop Condemns Catholic Governor's Support of Prop. 2 in Michigan] Lifesitenews, October 29, 2008</ref>
