Eliot Spitzer lays out his vision for New York. Here's the complete document, sent courtesy of Kathleen Gallegher of the NY Catholic Conference. His vision includes NY State funded stem cell research (has to include embryo experimentation!) and possibly proposing a NY State constitutional right to abortion.

"We will include a stem cell and innovation fund - led by Lieutenant governor David Paterson - to be presented to the voters for approval.
The fund will provide long term investment, overseen by industry experts, for stem cell innovations and other types of applied research that will lead to direct commercial application. This investment will repay itself many times over in increased jobs, economic activity, and improved health."

"One New York means a state that protects a woman's right to control her own reproductive health. That is why we must ensure that our state laws protect that right, should the federal courts compromise it."
