would ban the most -- could ban the most common forms of birth control, including the pill, ban in vitrozation, which so many couples use now to have a family, and really threaten even women cancer patients' treatments. it's the most extreme kind of measure. it's incredible to see mr. gingrich, mr. romney, supporting this kind of extreme idea. as you say, it was rejected even in the state of mississippi. >> now, the democratic national committee doesn't mean the politics of this, which is to say, they don't mind seeing those people adopt something that is obviously a losing issue when they try to win in 50 states, when they try to go to a national campaign. does it do any damage beyond just damage to the republican nominee, this kind of thing? >> oh, i think it's incredibly damaging. what we're seeing now is actually the major republican candidates, opposing now birth control access in this country. i mean, that's what's stunning. we see even mitt romney who said he wants to get rid of the entire nation's family planning program, serves about 5 million women every single year, with basic

the change between in vitro approach and the chemistry approach was not overnight. it took a while for people to begin to take these new approaches and figure out how to apply them in the context of the industrialization of pharmaceutical discovery and development. i think the same thing is happening right now with the human genome. i am not a scientist as we have already established. i talked to my scientific colleagues all the time. they were in areas like oncology, what used to be a black box they are understanding the disease processes. they understand multiple targets are involved in cancer or asthma or other conditions. it will take some time before people can master that and it really pick the right target and find the right intervention's whether they are small molecules or biologic. i am convinced that what happened. >> in the next decade? >> absolutely. >> he mentioned cancer, it has been 40 years since the war on cancer has been declared. it sometimes feels like the war in afghanistan. progress is very hard to measure. are we going to see that change in t

clear that he was opposed to embryonic stem cell research and that he wanted to take a look at in vitro fertilization and hall -- how the beginnings of life, and how it influences public policy. i think it is very healthy that people are digging into the specifics of the issue, although our organization does not take a stand during primaries when we have multiple candidates who are pro-life, because i think it's it's really important for people in this election in particular that this president, running for reelection, is the most pro- abortion president that we have seen in our history. so, while we are really grateful people are paying attention to the specifics of public policy, we also want to call attention to their real dramatic contrast in a president who, for example, one of the issues that we are hearing about on the campaign trail that we think needs more attention is the issue of combat -- supreme court justices. it is next president almost certainly will have multiple opportunities to shape the courts by putting in new appointments. and we have seen this president put in the
