Journal aymanh's Journal: Bush Uses Veto On Stem Cell Bill 3

Journal by aymanh on Thursday July 20, 2006 @01:22PM

One day after the Senate voted 63-37 for lifting the restrictions imposed in 2001 on federal funding of embryonic stem cell research, President Bush killed a bill that he claimed would sanction "the taking of innocent human life." The vetoed bill, the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act, would have scrapped limits on federal funding, but it failed to reach the two-thirds majority in its Senate vote which would have overturned the presidential veto.

I hope Bush dies of Alzheimer's, or some other disease that would be curable with embryonic stem-cells, just like Reagan did.

  NOTE: This is not a sanctioning of taking joy in the death of others. Everyone dies eventually. I just hope Bush dies in a poetical way.

  I have to say that I agree...sadly its the only way that, umm, "certain people" will ever change their minds on this subject. Its easy to argue against something on a moral principle when your principled stand doesn't affect you personally.
