The President was stuck with the results of Clinton's actions. I agree that the labs should have been stuck with those embryonic cells, but some might have frowned at renegging on what was authorized by prior "law" in the shape of Clinton's executive order.
Our President said no more from now on, it stopped that night, with his EO.
This is why I advocate a comprehensive ban before any more harm is done.
Don't get me wrong, I am a GWB supporter. BUT Bush was not held to Clinton's executive order. Objectively speaking, it was morally wrong for him to approve the scientific use of those cell lines.
Bush got out of the Kyoto Accord, and he could have gotten out of this. Although I give him credit for seriously seeking a moral solution, he still opened the door. Right now, with all of this "new tone" garbage, I feel I can't trust him not to cave.
I'm so sorry the situation is such that I have to say this.
Here's something about NYPD Detective Steven McDonald, who doesn't spend his time lobbying for baby killing, so he can get himself a cure:

Sometimes, he's on the Steve Malzberg radio show (77WABC), here in NY. He's an incredible man.
I agree with you about a comprehensive ban. I also think the FDA should ban the current Rubella vaccine, which uses cell lines from aborted babies.
I'm not "yelling" at *you*. I just hope GWB has spine enough to stand up to what will be a very big and emotional fight.
