House Passes Stem Cell BillPosted on Jan 11, 2007
The House has passed legislation in support of stem cell research. The vote was 253 to 174. President Bush’s only use of the veto was to nix a similar bill last year, and this proposed expansion of research is seen as a direct challenge to him.

I’m not usually a big responder of emails like the site address above but I feel this one is worthy. Check it out if you’d like to see the particular 12 religous rights who are keeping the vote from being 2/3. If it weren’t for this particular dozen Bush wouldn’t have the power to veto.

Isn’t it odd that the President would cast his only vetoes to block legislation that entertains wide support among the American people and even has the support of such a conservative stalwart as Orrin Hatch? I don’t see the logic in this, nor the moral sense either.

When Bush says “the research would destroy human life in the name of science” but don’t forget he and his criminal administration are destroying human beings in the name of freedom and democratic benefactors via killings.
