Rove: Bush to veto DeGette bill (stem cell)
Denver Post ^ | 10 july 2006 | John Farrell

Posted on 07/10/2006 1:39:16 PM PDT by Notwithstanding

President Bush will likely cast the first veto of his presidency if the Senate, as expected, passes legislation to expand federal funding of embryonic stem-cell research, White House aide Karl Rove said today.

"The president is emphatic about this," Rove said in a meeting with the editorial board of The Denver Post.

The U.S. House of Representatives has already passed the legislation, co-sponsored by Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Denver, and Rep. Mike Castle, R-Del. If the Senate approves the bill this month it would go to the president's desk.

Scorecard:

Adult stem cells: hundreds of successful therapies
Embryonic stem cells: zero therapies, despite mega funding

Great. More pointless summer positioning over stem-cell research, just in time for September.

Destroying lives to save lives is not ethical. Bush realizes that. You don't, apparently.

No matter what you think about stem cell research, the government should not be subsidizing it.

Now he's going to do it to kill funding that could save lives.

Save lives by killing other living things?

What a pig this President has turned out to be.

Hardly, and especially when it comes to pro-life issues. Although your post has a certain porcine quality to it.

Embryonic stem cells have cured ZERO diseases and saved Nobody. Adult stem cells on the other hand are a different story.
Any company can conduct the research, it just isn't federall funded. No lives lost with this veto Lunatic, whacko, far left fringe.

Are you saying that because in this circumstance W. is doing what the vast majority of real conservatives consider the correct thing?

Or, are you saying he is using what is left of his popularity to go against a shortsighted, "science is God" mentality that will take not just America, but the entire world down a very scary and highly unnatural path?

When can only wonder if as India and China get richer and capable of doing similar research if their leaders will make such wise choices? A lot of Freepers will jump to some uneducated conclusions on that question.

Actually, he is saving lives by vetoing the bill.
